Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) are an essential component of the intestine, play an important role to maintain intestine structure, and produce peristaltic and segmentation movements. The silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) has a dual role along with possible mechanisms in the different experimental models of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, very little is known about other putative roles that overexpression of SIRT1 in SMCs may have. Here, we explored the role of SMC SIRT1 in colonic mucosa regeneration and recovery after DSS-induced colitis. We showed that smooth-muscle-specific SIRT1 transgene (
