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

Figure 3

Sirt-1 indirectly regulates p21 depending on p53’s transcriptional activity. p21 mRNA (a) and protein levels (b) were measured with or without the presence of 30 μM pifithrin-α, an inhibitor of p53 transcriptional activity. , vs. vector group; , vs. scrambled group. (c) Chromatin immunoprecipitation was performed to further confirm the effect of Sirt-1 on the binding of p53 to p21 promoter region. , vs. vector group; , vs. scrambled group.
