Abstract Objective: Since the NAD+-dependent histone deacetylases sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) and sirtuin-2 (SIRT2) are critically involved in epigenetics, endocrinology and immunology and affect the longevity in model organisms, we investigated their expression in brains of 3 month old and 14-15 month old rat model of depression Flinders Sensitive Line (FSL) and control Flinders Resistant Line (FRL) rats. In view of the dysregulated NPY system in depression we also studied NPY in young and old FSL to explore the temporal trajectory of depressive-like-ageing interaction. Methods: Sirt1, Sirt2 and Npy mRNA were determined using qRT-PCR in prefrontal cortex (PFC) from young and old FSL and FRL, and in hippocampi from young FSL and FRL. Results: PFC. Sirt1 expression was decreased in FSL (p=0.001). An interaction between age and genotype was found (p=0.032); young FSL had lower Sirt1 with respect to both age (p=0.026) and genotype (p=0.001). Sirt2 was lower in FSL (p=0.003). Npy mRNA was downregulated in FSL (p=0.001) but did not differ between the young and old rat groups. Hippocampus.Sirt1 was reduced in young FSL compared to young FRL (p=0.005). There was no difference in Sirt2 between FSL and FRL. Npy levels were decreased in hippocampus of young FSL compared to young FRL (p=0.003). Effects of ageing could not be investigated due to loss of samples. Conclusions: i. This is the first demonstration that SIRT1 and SIRT2 are changed in brain of FSL, a rat model of depression ; ii. The changes are age dependent; iii. Sirtuins are potential targets for treatment of age-related neurodegenerative diseases.
