Increasing evidence suggests that depression is associated with impairments in neural plasticity. Sirtuin 1 plays an important role in neural plasticity, and the activation of mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling is known to improve neural plasticity. In this study, we aimed to determine whether sirtuin 1 affects dendrite outgrowth and spine formation through mTORC1 signaling. Resveratrol (sirtuin 1 activator; 1 and 10 μM) and sirtinol (sirtuin 1 inhibitor; 1 and 10 μM) were treated in primary cortical culture with and without dexamethasone (500 μM). Levels of sirtuin 1, phospho-extracellular signal regulated protein kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), phospho-mTORC1, and phospho-p70 ribosomal protein S6 kinase (p70S6K) were evaluated using Western blot analysis. Dendritic outgrowth and spine density were assessed using immunostaining. Resveratrol significantly increased levels of sirtuin 1 expression and phosphorylation of ERK1/2 (a downstream target of sirtuin 1), mTORC1, and p70S6K (a downstream target of mTORC1) in a concentration-dependent manner under dexamethasone conditions. Resveratrol also significantly increased dendritic outgrowth and spine density. Conversely, sirtinol significantly decreased levels of sirtuin 1 expression and phosphorylation of ERK1/2, mTORC1, and p70S6K in a concentration-dependent manner under normal conditions. Moreover, sirtinol significantly decreased dendritic outgrowth and spine density. Consistent with the results of sirtinol, sirtuin 1 knockdown using sirtuin 1 siRNA transfection significantly decreased dendritic outgrowth and spine density as well as phosphorylation levels of ERK1/2 and mTORC1. These data suggest that sirtuin 1 enhances dendritic outgrowth and spine density by activating mTORC1 signaling.
