SIRT6 Variants Found in Centenarians Produce a Lower Burden of Cellular Senescence

Examine genetic differences in centenarians that modify cellular senescence and how those insights guide translational geroscience strategies.

Key Takeaways
  • Centenarian-linked SIRT6 variants increased endogenous SIRT6 abundance via weaker vimentin interaction
  • Variants enhanced mono-ADP-ribosylation and reduced deacetylase activity while delaying cellular senescence
  • AAV delivery of centenarian SIRT6 or fucoidan activation partially reversed genome instability in progeria fibroblasts
