Abstract
Background and objectivePTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1) is a mitochondrial kinase that regulates mitophagy. PINK1-deficient mAPP mice display low LC3B levels, and PINK1 overexpression enhances autophagy and increases the expression level of lysosome-associated membrane protein 1 (LAMP1). The present study evaluated whether altered PINK1 expression could modulate β-amyloid (Aβ)-treated mitophagy in PC12 cells, a simple cellular model to simulate pathological changes in neurodegenerative diseases in vitro.
