| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Cigarette smoke (CS)-induced cellular senescence has been implicated in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and SIRT6 antagonizes this senescence. Autophagy controls cellular senescence. We sought to investigate the regulatory role for SIRT6 in autophagy activation during CS-induced cellular senescence. We demonstrated that SIRT6 expression levels were decreased in lung homogenates from COPD patients. CS extract suppressed SIRT6 expression and SIRT6 was involved in suppression of CSE-induced HBEC senescence via autophagy induction, which can be attributed to attenuation of IGF-Akt-mTOR siginaling in HBEC. Autophagy induction achieved via SIRT6 modulation is a potential effective medical intervention for the prevention of accelerated cellular senescence in COPD pathogenesis.
