Abstract

The NAD⁺-dependent deacetylase Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) regulates cell metabolism, proliferation, and DNA repair and acts as a tumor suppressor in breast cancer. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Latifkar et al. show that SIRT1 controls lysosomal acidification and its loss enhances the secretion of pro-tumorigenic exosomes for breast cancer invasion.
