Aim: Silent mating type information regulator 2 homolog 1 (SIRT1) functions as an atheroprotective factor in vascular biology, and genetic variations in SIRT1 are associated with coronary artery calcification and type 2 diabetes in several populations. In this study, we investigated the relationship between the mRNA expression levels of the SIRT1 gene and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the context of acute coronary syndrome (ACS).Methods: Whole-genome expression microarray and real-time PCR techniques were used to detect the gene expression levels, and Western blotting was performed to determine the protein expression level. The four selected SNPs were genotyped in a Taqman genotyping platform.Results: Compared with that observed in the controls, the mRNA expression levels of the SIRT1 gene in the microarray study were significantly lower in the acute myocardial infarction (AMI), unstable angina (UA) and overall ACS patients. These results were replicated in another independent cohort with respect to the mRNA (AMI, p
