Targeting TFEB and TFE3 in iPSC-derived dopaminergic neurons to correct autophagic/lysosomal deficits in Parkinson's disease

Abstract:

Parkinson’s disease is characterised by the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons (DaNs). A key pathological hallmark within the remaining cells is the presence of proteinaceous intracellular aggregates. Clearance and recycling of damaged/aggregated proteins by the lysosome is pertinent to neuronal homeostasis and survival. Genetics, post-mortem study and disease modelling have implicated autophagic/lysosomal dysfunction as a key pathogenic mechanism contributing to PD. Mutations in PD-rela...
