Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We discovered that the SIRT7, which is the member of Sirtuins (SIRT1-7 in mammals) regulating a wide variety of biological process, is important for bone formation, and have succeeded in finding a new mechanism which activates functions of Osterix transcription factor essential for bone formation. Furthermore, we found that SIRT7 in bone decreased with age. It is expected that the “SIRT7-regulated Osterix activating pathway” will be a new therapeutic drug target to treat decreased osteogenesis and osteoporosis.
