NAD+-dependent SIRT1 Deacetylase Participates in Epigenetic Reprogramming during Endotoxin Tolerance
18 Jan 2011
Abstract excerpt
Gene-selective epigenetic reprogramming and shifts in cellular bioenergetics develop when Toll-like receptors (TLR) recognize and respond to systemic life-threatening infections. Using a human monocyte cell model of endotoxin tolerance and human leukocytes from acute systemic inflammation with sepsis, we report that energy sensor sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) coordinates the epigenetic and bioenergy shifts. After TLR4...
