PACS‐2 Mitigates NPSC Apoptosis and Intervertebral Disc Degeneration by Preserving MAM Integrity via the SP1/LRRK2/Mfn2 Axis

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 4, 19 January 2026.
This study investigates the role of PACS‐2 in IDD, demonstrating that it suppresses the nuclear translocation of SP1, thereby downregulating its downstream target LRRK2. This reduces LRRK2‐mediated ubiquitination and degradation of Mfn2 through the JNK pathway, preserving MAM integrity and promoting NPSC survival.
