KLF9 regulates PRDX6 expression in hyperglycemia-aggravated bupivacaine neurotoxicity.

CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study demonstrated that hyperglycemia aggravated Bup neurotoxicity by upregulating KLF9 expression, which repressed the antioxidant PRDX6 and led to mitochondrial dysfunction, ROS burst, and cell death. Understanding this mechanism may, thus, offer valuable insights for the prevention and treatment of neurotoxicity induced by LAs, especially in diabetic patients.
