TFEB and triple-A syndrome: Conclusions: In the present study, we provided a new insight into the pathogenesis of AAA and defined a KIF13B-USP9X-TFEB axis that is essential for the regulation of macrophage function, suggesting that macrophage-derived Kif13b is a beneficial regulator of vascular homeostasis and targeting KIF13B could be a potential therapeutic approach for the treatment of human AAA disease in future clinical trial.
