Cardiac hypertrophy is a multifactorial disease characterized by multiple molecular alterations. One of these alterations is change in activity of Akt, which plays a central role in regulating a variety of cellular processes ranging from cell survival to aging. Akt activation is mainly achieved by its binding to phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5 triphosphate (PIP3). This results in a conformational change that exposes the kinase domain of Akt for phosphorylation and activation by its upstream kinase PDK1 in the cell membrane. Recent studies have shown that sirtuin isoforms SIRT1, SIRT3 and SIRT6 play an essential role in the regulation of Akt activation. While SIRT1 deacetylates Akt to promote PIP3 binding and activation, SIRT3 controls ROS-mediated Akt activation and SIRT6 transcriptionally represses Akt at the level of chromatin. In the first part of this review, we discuss the mechanisms by which sirtuins regulate Akt activation and how they influence other post-translational modifications of Akt. In the latter part of the review, we summarize the implications of sirtuin-dependent regulation of Akt signaling in the control of major cellular processes like cellular growth, angiogenesis, apoptosis, autophagy and aging; which are involved in the initiation and progression of several diseases.
