Inhibition of SIRT6 in prostate cancer reduces cell viability and increases sensitivity to chemotherapeutics
27 Aug 2013
Abstract excerpt
SIRT6 is an important histone modifying protein that regulates DNA repair, telomere maintenance, energy metabolism, and target gene expression. Recently SIRT6 has been identified as a tumor suppressor and is down-regulated in certain cancer types, but not in other cancers. From deposited gene profiling studies we found that SIRT6 was overexpressed in prostate tumors, compared with normal or paratumor prostate...
