Sirt-1 Regulates Physiological Process and Exerts Protective Effects against Oxidative Stress

Figure 4

Sirt-1 regulates p53 acetylation at 382 amino acids (aa) and thus transcriptionally regulates p21. (a) Acetylation at 120 aa and 382 aa was detected by western blot. (b) Chromatin immunoprecipitation was performed after inhibiting acetylation by adding EX527. (c) Cell viability from days 1-5 was measured to access the effect of Sirt-1 via its acetylation activity. , vs. vector group; #, vs. scrambled group. (d) Cell cycle distribution was then measured by performing PI staining followed by flow cytometry. , vs. vector group; #, vs. scrambled group.
