Furthermore, lncRNA nuclear paraspeckle assembly transcript 1 (NEAT1) stabilized phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN)-induced PINK1 protein by promoting 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced autophagy in PD (Yan et al., 2018). This evidence concerns the gene PTEN and Parkinson disease.
