Critical Role of TFEB-Mediated Lysosomal Biogenesis in Alcohol-Induced Pancreatitis in Mice and Humans
1 Jan 2020
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Alcohol abuse is the major cause of experimental and human pancreatitis but the molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown. We investigated the role of transcription factor EB (TFEB), a master regulator of lysosomal biogenesis, in the pathogenesis of alcoholic pancreatitis. METHODS: Using a chronic plus acute alcohol binge (referred to as Gao-binge) mouse model, we analyzed pancreas injury,...
