Abstract: Sirtuins(SIRTs), a group of NAD+ dependent deacetylases, have attracted considerable attention in the field of neuro-degenerative diseases, especially Parkinson's disease (PD). They have critical impacts on cell survival and death through modulation of various biological processes, such as intracellular metabolism, stress response and DNA repair. In the pathogenesis of PD, Sirtuins play a crucial role and associated with pathophysiological processes such as mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, and neuronal apoptosis. Activation of Sirtuins alleviates dyskinesia and neuronal damage in animal models of PD and also regulates the aggregation and clearance of α-synuclein, a pathological feature of the disease. Therefore, the modulation of Sirtuins is a potential strategy for treating PD.

Key words: Parkinson's disease, deacetylase Sirtuins, α-synuclein
