The SIRT1 deacetylase activity was tested on the K382 residue of native p53 present in the protein extract of MDA-MB-231 cells pre-treated with 20 μM etoposide. Briefly, rhSIRT1 (final dilution 1:60 ab156065 #6), 200 μM NAD and 300 μM inhibitors (NSAIDs or exilusind) were added to 15 μg protein extract of MDA-MB-231, incubated for 30 min at room temperature and stopped with the addition of Laemmli’s sample buffer. The entire reaction was loaded on a SDS-PAGE for immunoblot analysis; immunodetection was carried out using specific antibodies recognizing acetylated p53 (K382 residue) or total p53.
