Abstract Text | Recent studies suggest that SIRT1-activating compounds (STAC) are a promising class of anticancer drugs, although their mechanism of action remains elusive. The main goal of this study is to determine the role of STACs as a potential therapy for pancreatic cancer. In addition, we also explored the mechanism by which these compounds affect pancreatic cancer.Using in vitro (cell culture experiments) and in vivo (xenograft experiments) approaches, we studied the role of SIRT1 agonists (STAC) in human pancreatic cancer cell viability and growth.We show that SIRT1 is highly expressed in pancreatic cancer cells and that the STACs SRT1720, SRT1460, and SRT3025 inhibited cell growth and survival of pancreatic cancer cells. STACs enhanced the sensitivity of pancreatic cells to gemcitabine and paclitaxel, indicating that these drugs could be used in combination with other chemotherapy drugs. We also show that STACs were very effective in inhibiting tumor xenograft growth. In mechanistic studies, we observed that STACs activated a SIRT1 lysosomal-dependent cell death. Furthermore, the effect of STACs on cell viability was also dependent on the expression of the endogenous SIRT1 inhibitor DBC1.Taken together, our results reveal an essential role for SIRT1 and lysosomes in the death pathway regulated by STACs in pancreatic cancer cells.

SRT1460 | SIRT1 Activator 3 | SRT1460 is a SIRT1 activator, which may decrease tumor cell growth and enhance sensitivity to other anti-cancer agents (PMID: 26655844, PMID: 27334466). | ||
SRT1720 | SIRT1 Activator 3 | SRT1720 is a SIRT1 activator, which potentially results in increased tumor cell death and decreased tumor growth, and may enhance sensitivity to other anti-cancer agents (PMID: 26655844, PMID: 32421926). | ||
SRT3025 | SIRT1 Activator 3 | SRT3025 is a SIRT1 activator, which may lead to decreased tumor growth and increased senstivity to other anti-cancer agents (PMID: 26655844, PMID: 31141802). |
