The SIRT6 Activator MDL-800 Extends Lifespan and Health-span of Mice
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The prevention or delay of the onset of age-related diseases prolongs survival and improves quality of life while reducing the burden on the health care system. Activation of sirtuin 6 (SIRT6), an NAD+-dependent deacetylase, improves metabolism and confers protection against physiological and cognitive disturbances in old age. Here we show that MDL-800 is a specific SIRT6 activator that has health and lifespan benefits in adult mice fed a standard diet. We found extension in lifespan, delayed onset of age-related metabolic diseases, and improved general health in mice fed a standard diet after MDL-800 supplementation. Treatment with MDL-800 induced synthesis of anti-oxidation related proteins, and this rejuvenated HSCs and ISCs in aged mice. Inhibition of pro-inflammatory gene expression in both liver and muscle of MDL-800-treated animals was noted. MDL-800 lowered the level of NF-kB pathway and improved fatty acid metabolism in liver. Combined with our previous work, the current study further supports the beneficial effects of MDL-800 on health across the lifespan in mice.
