Renal tubular epithelial cells (RTECs) are one of the most mitochondria-rich cell types, and are thus vulnerable to mitochondrial dysregulation, which is defined as a pivotal event in tubular damage in diabetic nephropathy (DN).

PHB2 alleviates retinal pigment epithelium cell fibrosis by suppressing the AGE–RAGE pathway
Fibrosis is the primary cause of retinal detachment and visual decline. Here, we investigated the role of Prohibitin 2 (PHB2) in modulating fibrosis in ARPE-19 cells stimulated by transforming growth factor (TGF)-β2.

A Novel Mechanism of Salvianolic Acid B in Postmyocardial Infarction Cardiac Protection: PHB1-Driven Raf-ERK Pathway Activation Promotes Cardiomyocyte Mitosis. [PDF]
SalB binds to the C‐terminal of PHB1/2 heterodimer, inducing a conformational change that enhances Raf‐ERK pathway activation via Akt‐mediated phosphorylation, thereby promoting cardiomyocyte mitosis. ABSTRACT Heart failure (HF) following myocardial infarction remains a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality, necessitating novel therapeutic ...

Macrophage TRIM21 Inhibition Ameliorates Murine Acute Pancreatitis via PHB2-Mediated Mitochondrial Stabilization. [PDF]
Macrophage‐derived TRIM21 drives the progression of AP via ubiquitin‐proteasome‐mediated degradation of PHB2, leading to impaired PHB2‐mediated mitophagy. Therefore, accumulation of cytosolic mtDNA hyperactivates the cGAS‐STING signaling axis, thereby amplifying inflammatory cascades.

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].

PHB2/prohibitin 2: An inner membrane mitophagy receptor [PDF]
Mitophagy, the selective autophagic elimination of mitochondria, is a conserved cellular process critical for maintaining normal cellular physiology, and defects in this process are associated with certain pathophysiologies. In a recently published paper, Wei et al. describe their discovery of a hitherto unexplored mechanism of marking mitochondria for

Non-classical ferroptosis inhibition by a small molecule targeting PHB2
AbstractFerroptosis is a new type of programmed cell death characterized by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. Ferroptosis inhibition is thought as a promising therapeutic strategy for a variety of diseases. Currently, a majority of known ferroptosis inhibitors belong to either antioxidants or iron-chelators. Here we report a new ferroptosis inhibitor,

Mitochondria-Related Pathogenic Genes in Paediatric Asthma: A Multi-Omics Mendelian Randomization Study. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated in asthma pathogenesis, but causal roles of mitochondrial‐related genes in paediatric asthma remain unclear. We performed a multi‐omics Mendelian randomization study integrating GWAS data from paediatric asthma cohorts with blood‐based methylation quantitative trait loci (mQTLs), expression QTLs (eQTLs ...
