SIRT1 regulates methionine metabolism and pluripotency of mouse embrynoic stem cells (mESCs)
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The goal of this project is to understand the role of SIRT1, the most conserved mammalian NAD+-dependent protein deacetylase, in methionine metabolism and pluripotency of mESCs. Our recent studies indicate that SIRT1 deficient mESCs are hypersensitive to methionine restriction-induced differentiation and apoptosis, primarily due to a reduced conversion of methionine to S-adenosylmethionine. This reduction leads to marked decrease in methylation levels of histones in SIRT1 deficient mESCs. To understand the impact of histone methylation alterations on stem cell functions in SIRT1 KO mESCs, we examined the transcriptomes of SIRT1 WT and KO mESCs cultured in either complete M10 medium (com) or methionine restricted medium containing 6 uM methionine (6met) for 6, 24, and 72 hours by microarray analysis.
