English Sirtuin 1 (Sirt1) is a NAD+-dependent deacetylase capable of countering age-related neurodegeneration, but the basis of Sirt1 neuroprotection remains elusive. Spinocerebellar ataxia type 7 (SCA7) is an inherited CAG-polyglutamine repeat disorder. Transcriptome analysis of SCA7 mice revealed downregulation of calcium flux genes accompanied by abnormal calcium-dependent cerebellar membrane excitability. Transcription-factor binding-site analysis of downregulated genes yielded Sirt1 target sites, and we observed reduced Sirt1 activity in the SCA7 mouse cerebellum with NAD+ depletion. SCA7 patients displayed increased poly(ADP-ribose) in cerebellar neurons, supporting poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 upregulation. We crossed Sirt1-overexpressing mice with SCA7 mice and noted rescue of neurodegeneration and calcium flux defects. NAD+ repletion via nicotinamide riboside ameliorated disease phenotypes in SCA7 mice and patient stem cell-derived neurons. Sirt1 thus achieves neuroprotection by promoting calcium regulation, and NAD+ dysregulation underlies Sirt1 dysfunction in SCA7, indicating that cerebellar ataxias exhibit altered calcium homeostasis because of metabolic dysregulation, suggesting shared therapy targets.
