Protein acetylation, which is central to transcriptional control as well as other
cellular processes, is disrupted in Huntington's disease (HD). Treatments that
restore global acetylation levels, such as inhibiting histone deacetylases
(HDACs), are effective in suppressing HD pathology in model organisms. However,
agents that selectively target the disease-relevant HDACs have not been
available. SirT1 (Sir2 in Drosophila melanogaster) deacetylates histones and
other proteins including transcription factors. Genetically reducing, but not
eliminating, Sir2 has been shown to suppress HD pathology in model organisms. To
date, small molecule inhibitors of sirtuins have exhibited low potency and
unattractive pharmacological and biopharmaceutical properties. Here, we show that
highly selective pharmacological inhibition of Drosophila Sir2 and mammalian
SirT1 using the novel inhibitor selisistat (selisistat;
6-chloro-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-carbazole-1-carboxamide) can suppress HD pathology
caused by mutant huntingtin exon 1 fragments in Drosophila, mammalian cells and
mice. We have validated Sir2 as the in vivo target of selisistat by showing that
genetic elimination of Sir2 eradicates the effect of this inhibitor in
Drosophila. The specificity of selisistat is shown by its effect on recombinant
sirtuins in mammalian cells. Reduction of HD pathology by selisistat in
Drosophila, mammalian cells and mouse models of HD suggests that this inhibitor
has potential as an effective therapeutic treatment for human disease and may
also serve as a tool to better understand the downstream pathways of SirT1/Sir2
that may be critical for HD.
