High glucose- or AGE-induced oxidative stress inhibits hippocampal neuronal mitophagy through the Keap1–Nrf2–PHB2 pathway in diabetic encephalopathy [PDF]
Diabetic encephalopathy (DE) is a severe complication of diabetes, but its pathogenesis remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the roles and underlying mechanisms of high glucose (HG)- and advanced glycosylation end product (AGE)-induced ...

Identification and characterization of a novel small viral peptide (VSP59) encoded by Bombyx mori cypovirus (BmCPV) that negatively regulates viral replication [PDF]
Bombyx mori cypovirus (BmCPV), a member of the Reoviridae family, is a well-established research model for double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) viruses with segmented genomes. Despite its small genome size, the coding potential of BmCPV remains largely unexplored.

Disruption of Mitochondrial Dynamics and Integrity Drives Divergent Metabolic Flexibility and Resilience in Podocytes. [PDF]
We investigated two models of mitochondrial dysfunction in podocytes, using two cell culture models: podocytes isolated from mice with Oma1 deletion (Oma1del) and mouse podocytes modified with an inducible knockdown of PHB2 (Phb2kd). OMA1 deficiency induced a glycolytic shift, enhanced glutamine anaplerosis, and sustained energy homeostasis after ...

BIG3 Inhibits the Estrogen-Dependent Nuclear Translocation of PHB2 via Multiple Karyopherin-Alpha Proteins in Breast Cancer Cells. [PDF]
We recently reported that brefeldin A-inhibited guanine nucleotide-exchange protein 3 (BIG3) binds Prohibitin 2 (PHB2) in cytoplasm, thereby causing a loss of function of the PHB2 tumor suppressor in the nuclei of breast cancer cells.

PHB2 Protects Sister-Chromatid Cohesion in Mitosis [PDF]
Cohesion between sister chromatids is essential for proper chromosome segregation in mitosis. In vertebrate mitotic cells, most cohesin is removed from the chromosome arms [1-4], but centromeric cohesin is protected by shugoshin until the onset of anaphase [5].
