SIX1 Control of Lipogenesis in Liver Cancer
2026-08-19
The reference study identifies SIX1 as a direct transcriptional regulator of de novo lipogenesis in liver cancer cells, linking ACLY, FASN, and SCD1 expression to a DGUOK-AS1–miR-145-5p regulatory axis. Its findings connect lipid metabolic control with tumor proliferation, invasion, and metastasis, while highlighting DGUOK-AS1 as a potential prognostic indicator and therapeutic entry point.

ACE Inhibitors and Cell-Surface Aminopeptidases
2026-08-18
Tieku and Hooper directly compared inhibitor profiles across porcine kidney aminopeptidases N, A, and W, revealing substantial differences between bestatin, related aminopeptidase inhibitors, and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors. The study provides a useful framework for distinguishing intended ACE inhibition from possible off-target effects on cell-surface zinc aminopeptidases.

Antiarrhythmic Drugs and Cardiac SK Channels
2026-08-13
The reference study systematically tested clinically used antiarrhythmic drugs against human KCa2.2 and KCa2.3 channels using automated whole-cell patch clamp. Dofetilide and propafenone inhibited these channels only at concentrations far above effective free therapeutic exposure, while Dronedarone did not emerge as a meaningful KCa2.X blocker, refining how its antiarrhythmic pharmacology should be interpreted.

CCK-8, Electroacupuncture, and Tolerance Mechanisms
2026-08-12
The 1986 reference study identified central cholecystokinin octapeptide as an anti-opioid signal that dose-dependently weakened electroacupuncture analgesia and contributed to tolerance. Its combination of exogenous peptide, route-specific delivery, neurotransmitter comparisons, and CCK-8 antiserum provided an influential functional model linking prolonged electroacupuncture to endogenous counter-regulation.
