Sirtuin-6–Dependent Genetic And Epigenetic Alterations Are Associated With Poor Clinical Outcome in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Patients
23 Mar 2013
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6) is a member of the sirtuin family of NAD+-dependent deacetylases. Genetic deletion of Sirt6 in mice results in a severe degenerative phenotype with impaired liver function and premature death. The role of SIRT6 in development and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma is currently unknown. We first investigated SIRT6 expression in 153 primary human liver cancers and in normal and...
