Sirt6 loss activates Got1 and facilitates cleft palate through abnormal activating glycolysis

Cleft palate (CP) is a common congenital craniofacial malformation, which is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. However, its underlying mechanism has not been elucidated. Sirtuin6 (SIRT6) mutation has been associated with craniofacial anomalies in humans. This study further defined the role of Sirt6 in palatogenesis by investigating the specific inactivation of Sirt6 in Wnt1-expressing cell lineages. Here, we demonstrated that Sirt6 conditioned knockout (Sirt6 cKO)...
