Bupivacaine, a common local anesthetic, causes serious nerve injury, especially in diabetic patients, as high glucose has been reported to enhance bupivacaine-induced neurotoxicity. However, the key regulator for synergism remains unknown. To our surprise, the expression of repair protein Ku70 is suppressed, while the high-glucose environment induces DNA oxidative damage in neurons. Here, we aim to investigate whether the inhibition of Ku70 by high-glucose conditions aggrandized bupivacaine-indu ...[more]
