Provided herein are compositions and methods for treating or preventing cancer and autoimmune diseases. Compositions comprise a sirtuin inhibitory compound that decreases the activity of a sirtuin, such as SIRT1 or Sir2. Exemplary methods comprise contacting a cell or a molecule with a sirtuin inhibitory compound that decreases the activity of a sirtuin and thereby reduces the life span of a cell, kills the cell or renders it susceptible to certain cell stresses including radiation and chemotherapy. Other methods include treating pathogens expressing a sirtuin.
本文提供了治疗或预防癌症和自身免疫疾病的组合物和方法。组合物包括抑制sirtuin的化合物,降低sirtuin的活性,如SIRT1或Sir2。示例方法包括将细胞或分子与抑制sirtuin的化合物接触,降低sirtuin的活性,从而缩短细胞的寿命,杀死细胞或使其对包括放射治疗和化疗在内的某些细胞应激变得敏感。其他方法包括治疗表达sirtuin的病原体。
