Cytochrome c oxidase subunit 6A2 (COX6A2) expression is increased in diabetic islets. Increased COX6A2 promotes β-cell apoptosis via modulation of cyclophilin D-mediated cytochrome c release from mitochondria to the cytoplasm. Carbohydrate-responsive element-binding protein epigenetically regulates COX6A2 expression in β-cells. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass reduces COX6A2 expression by regulating the glucagon-like peptide 1/cAMP-dependent protein kinase/carbohydrate-responsive element-binding protein signaling pathway.

Background/objectives: Bradycardia, an uncharacteristically low heart rate below 60 bpm, is a commonly reported adverse drug event (ADE) in individuals administered dexmedetomidine for sedation. Dexmedetomidine is frequently used as a sedative and analgesic for both intubated and non-intubated patients due to its low risk of respiratory depression. The purpose of this study was to further characterize the safety profile of dexmedetomidine using safety reports collected from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) and transcriptomic data.

Mutations in the epigenetic regulator Additional sex combs like 1 (Asxl1) have been implicated in neurodevelopmental syndromes; however, its role in embryonic brain development remains poorly understood. Here, we report that Asxl1 knockout mice exhibit severe telencephalic midline defects, including agenesis of the corpus callosum, absence of the septum, and formation of a single cerebral ventricle. These phenotypes closely resemble those of Six3-deficient brains, suggesting a functional link between Asxl1 and Six3.

Introduction: Meat flavor is a critical factor for consumers to evaluate meat quality and a key determinant of its market value. spp. are widely distributed parasitic protozoa that infect livestock, leading to reduced meat quality, fur, and fiber, and causing significant economic losses.

Pancreatic β-cell apoptosis plays a crucial role in the development of type 2 diabetes. Cytochrome c oxidase subunit 6A2 (COX6A2) and Farnesoid X Receptor (FXR) have been identified in pancreatic β-cells, however, whether they are involved in β-cell apoptosis is unclear. Here, we sought to investigate the role of FXR-regulated COX6A2 in diabetic β-cell apoptosis.
