Abstract

Sirtuin7 (Sirt7) is a member of the Sir2 histone deacetylase family that functions in a number of physiological processes, including cellular metabolism, ageing and apoptosis. Several studies have indicated that Sirt7 may serve a vital role in promoting the development of cancer. However, to the best of our knowledge, its function in glioma progression has not been demonstrated. The present study revealed that Sirt7 expression was upregulated in human glioma tissues and that the high expression level of Sirt7 was positively associated with glioma malignancy. Further results indicated that the suppression of Sirt7 expression could inhibit the activation of phosphorylated extracellular signal‑regulated kinase (p‑ERK) concomitantly with decreased expression of cyclin‑dependent kinase 2 in glioma cells. Phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) inhibited when Sirt7 was downregulated by siRNA interference in glioma cell lines. The findings of the present study indicated that Sirt7 affects the malignancy of glioma cells mainly in promoting glioma proliferation and invasion through ERK and STAT3 signaling. Thus, Sirt7 may function as a valuable target for the treatment of human glioma.
