"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]."
reach
"In summary, high expression of USP8 may promote the occurrence of mitophagy through the TGF‐β signaling pathway, thereby reducing the number of CD4 naïve T cells, which needs further confirmation.CDKN2B (Cyclin‐dependent kinase 4 inhibitor B) is a potent inhibitor of various tumors, which can inhibit the TGF‐β‐mediated cell cycle, and was also enriched in the TGF‐β signaling pathway of the hub genes."
reach
"Parkin is in turn regulated by several DUBs; USP8 promotes Parkin activity and mitophagy by removing the K6-linked ubiquitin chains, which prevent Parkin’s interaction with the phosphorylated ubiquitin and PINK1 [157], while USP15 and USP30 antagonize Parkin by removing ubiquitin chains from mitochondria, preventing the binding of mitophagy receptors [158,159]."
reach
"These approaches allowed identifying a mitophagic effect of USP8 down-regulation, which was clearly detectable in vivo in the fly brain and also in neurons of human origin.Interestingly, USP8 down-regulation promoted basal mitophagy in a Parkin-independent fashion (Figure 2D,E), whereas it inhibited Parkin mitochondrial translocation and mitophagy under stress condition (Supplementary Figure S3)."
