Sirtuin 6 ameliorates bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis via activation of lipid catabolism

© 2023 Wiley Periodicals LLC..

Pulmonary fibrosis is a chronic and serious interstitial lung disease with little effective therapies currently. Our incomplete understanding of its pathogenesis remains obstacles in therapeutic developments. Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6) has been shown to mitigate multiple organic fibrosis. However, the involvement of SIRT6-mediated metabolic regulation in pulmonary fibrosis remains unclear. Here, we demonstrated that SIRT6 was predominantly expressed in alveolar epithelial cells in human lung tissues by using a single-cell sequencing database. We showed that SIRT6 protected against bleomycin-induced injury of alveolar epithelial cells in vitro and pulmonary fibrosis of mice in vivo. High-throughput sequencing revealed enriched lipid catabolism in Sirt6 overexpressed lung tissues. Mechanismly, SIRT6 ameliorates bleomycin-induced ectopic lipotoxicity by enhancing lipid degradation, thereby increasing the energy supply and reducing the levels of lipid peroxides. Furthermore, we found that peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) was essential for SIRT6-mediated lipid catabolism, anti-inflammatory responses, and antifibrotic signaling. Our data suggest that targeting SIRT6-PPARα-mediated lipid catabolism could be a potential therapeutic strategy for diseases complicated with pulmonary fibrosis.
