"Thus, important prerequisites for compound optimization and drug development exist for USP8 and can be readily exploited in aged-associated neurodegenerative disease models.In summary, in this work we show that we can enhance autophagy and mitophagy by down-regulating USP8, a DUB that is upregulated in age-related neurodegenerative conditions [19,42]."

"Interestingly, USP8 also enhances the interaction between EPG5 and LC3 in embryonic stem cells (EPCs), where EPG5 is a novel candidate for regulating autophagy in these cells (Gu et al., 2019); the knockdown of USP8 decreased the autophagy flux, while USP8 overexpression caused an increase in autophagy under normal and starvation conditions (Gu et al., 2019)."
