    Abstract:

    Parkinson’ s disease ( PD) is the second most common central nervous system degenerative disease worldwide. One pathological feature is a-synuclein accumulation in the substantia nigra, and an early sign is mitochondrial dysfunction. The PD-related proteins PINK1, Parkin, DJ-1, and a-synuclein are involved in the process of mitochondrial autophagy and quality control. The mutation of PD-related proteins leads to abnormal autophagy and mitochondrial function. A failure of selective clearance of damaged mitochondria and mitochondrial dysfunction may eventually lead to dopaminergic neuron death. Therefore, the loss of control of PD-related proteins is closely related to PD occurrence. This article reviews the associations between mitochondrial autophagy, dysfunction, and Parkinson’s disease.
