The NAD+-dependent Histone Deacetylase SIRT6 Promotes Cytokine Production and Migration in Pancreatic Cancer Cells by Regulating Ca2+ Responses

Cytokine secretion by cancer cells contributes to cancer-induced symptoms and angiogenesis. Studies show that the sirtuin SIRT6 promotes inflammation by enhancing TNF expression. Here, we aimed to determine whether SIRT6 is involved in conferring an inflammatory phenotype to cancer cells and to define the mechanisms linking SIRT6 to inflammation. We show that SIRT6 enhances the expression of pro-inflammatory cyto-/chemokines, such as IL8 and...
