Dysregulation of autophagy appears to be implicated in the pathogenesis and pathology of synucleinopathies,60, 62 and alterations in microRNA‐101 have been strongly associated with autophagy impairments in human cancer models.109, 110 They found that the coinfection of cells with alpha‐synuclein and miR‐101 led to autophagy inhibition (measured as a decrease in autophagy proteins Beclin 1 and LC3 levels and an increase in p62 protein levels) in CG4 cells compared to controls. This evidence concerns the gene SNCA and synucleinopathy.
