Using mouse models and human cell lines, Li et al. [48] found that the PINK1-PARK2 pathway normally associated with mitophagy also controls the protein expression of mitoferrin-1 and mitoferrin-2 and mitochondrial loading in pancreatic cancer cells via a mechanism requiring the ATG5-dependent autophagy pathway rather than mitophagy. This evidence concerns the gene SLC25A37 and pancreatic neoplasm.
