Transcription factors EB and Parkinson's disease / 中国药理学通报

ABSTRACT

Autophagy is a powerful process for removing such proteins and for maintaining homeostasis.However,autophagy dysfunction has also been implicated in the pathogenesis of vari-ous neurodegenerative diseases,including Parkinson 's disease (PD).Recent studies have shown that TFEB could regulate au-tophagy and lysosome function through regulating the expressionof the relatedgenes.Thus,TFEB plays a key role in the occur-rence of Parkinson's disease.Therefore,this article will make a review of the regulatory mechanism of TFEB and its role in Par-kinson's disease.
