Sirtuins protects cells from injury while 7 members may have different roles. In this study, we applied young rat optic nerve injury model to analyze the change of Sirt1-7 at different time point to better understand the role of Sirtuins during optic nerve injury. 12 week old adult male F344 rats were used (total n=36). Rats were divided into two groups randomly. One group underwent optic nerve cut and the other group underwent peripheral nerve-optic nerve graft (PN-ON graft) on the left eye. At the time point of 1 day, 3 day, 1 week, 2 week and 4 week, the rats were sacrificed. Retinas of both eyes were removed. Total RNA was extracted and first-strand cDNA was synthesized. Sirt1-7 and housekeeping β-actin quantitative real-time PCR was performed. The quantitative real time PCR profile showed that 7 members of Sirtuins of both groups had time period after surgery. Sirtuin family mRNA transcript levels increased following optic nerve injury with and without peripheral nerve grafting. Sirt1 showed a quite different transcription pattern from the rest of the members. Our data indicated that Sirt1 and Sirts 2-7, or just Sirt2, played opposing roles in optic nerve injury. Sirts 4 and 6 were the only Sirts higher in the PN-graft group, where neuronal survival should be higher, these results suggested that Sirts 4 and 6 played the predominant role for Sirts in neuroprotection or axon regeneration.
