More Details: Abstract Demyelination occurs widely in the central nervous system (CNS) neurodegenerative diseases, especially the multiple sclerosis (MS), which with a complex and inflammatory lesion microenvironment inhibiting remyelination. Sirtuin6 (SIRT6), a histone/protein deacetylase is of interest for its promising effect in transcriptional regulation, cell cycling, inflammation, metabolism and longevity. Here we show that SIRT6 participates in the remyelination process in mice subjected to LPC-induced demyelination. Using pharmacological SIRT6 inhibitor or activator, we found that SIRT6 modulated LPC-induced damage in motor or cognitive function. Inhibition of SIRT6 impaired myelin regeneration, exacerbated neurological deficits, and decreased oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) proliferation and differentiation, whereas activation of SIRT6 reversed behavioral performance in mice, demonstrating a beneficial effect of SIRT6. Importantly, based on RNA sequencing analysis of the corpus callosum tissues, it was further revealed that SIRT6 took charge in regulation of glial activation during remyelination, and significant alterations in CHI3L1 were obtained, a glycoprotein specifically secreted by astrocytes. Impaired proliferation and differentiation of OPCs could be induced in vitro using supernatants from reactive astrocyte, especially when SIRT6 was inhibited. Mechanistically, SIRT6 regulates the secretion of CHI3L1 from reactive astrocytes by histone-H3-lysine-9 acetylation (H3K9Ac). Adeno-associated virus-overexpression of SIRT6 (AAV-SIRT6-OE) in astrocytes improved remyelination and functional recovery after LPC-induced demyelination, whereas together with AAV-CHI3L1-OE inhibits this therapeutic effect. Collectively, our data elucidate the role of SIRT6 in remyelination and further reveal astrocytic SIRT6/CHI3L1 as the key regulator for improving the remyelination environment, which may be a potential target for MS therapy.
