Upregulation of Apoptosis with Dietary Restriction: Implications for Carcinogenesis and Aging

Abstract: The maintenance of cell number homeostasis in normal tissues reflects a highly regulated balance between the rates of cell proliferation and cell death. Under pathologic conditions such as exposure to cytotoxic, genotoxic, or nongenotoxic agents, an imbalance in these rates may indicate subsequent risk of carcinogenesis. Apoptotic cell death, as opposed to necrotic cell death, provides a protective mechanism by selective elimination of senescent, preneoplastic, or superfluous cells that could negatively affect… Show more

“…First, because SIRT1 coactivates LXR, the reduced activity of this sirtuin in CR will decrease fat synthesis (Li et al 2007). Second, reduced SIRT1 activity may activate liver apoptosis, which is known to occur in response to CR (Grasl-Kraupp et al 1994;James et al 1998). Third, while SIRT1 deacetylation of PGC-1␣ activates mitochondrial biogenesis in the muscle, deacetylation of this coactivator by SIRT1 does not affect mitochondrial gene expression in the liver (Rodgers et al 2005).…”

“…However, in some organs with rapidly dividing cells, apoptosis actually increases during CR, for example, in the liver (James et al 1998) and the gut (Holt et al 1998). This increase, along with the known shrinkage of cells during CR (Birchenall-Sparks et al 1985), may both contribute to the down-sizing of these organs in the restricted animal.…”

“…This increase, along with the known shrinkage of cells during CR (Birchenall-Sparks et al 1985), may both contribute to the down-sizing of these organs in the restricted animal. The increased rate of apoptosis may minimize the risk of cancer during CR (James et al 1998). The increase in apoptosis in these organs appears at odds with any central role for SIR2.…”

“…Periods of intermittent restriction may thus be required to maintain these beneficial effects (10). Energy restriction is known to reduce cell proliferation and increase apoptotic rate in both normal tissues and cancers (60)(61)(62)(63). The inhibition of glycolysis has been shown to impair the growth of tumor cells (64,65), and suppression of glycolysis and fatty acid synthesis specifically in the breast epithelium may prevent breast carcinomas from developing and progressing.…”
