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,

PHB2 promotes tumorigenesis via RACK1 in non-small cell lung cancer
Background: Lung cancer has the highest mortality rate among cancers worldwide, with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) the most common type. Increasing evidence shows that PHB2 is highly expressed in other cancer types; however, the effects of PHB2 in NSCLC are currently poorly understood.

Knockdown of prohibitin 2 promotes apoptosis in non-small cell lung cancer cell line A549 [PDF]
Objective To explore mechanism of prohibitin 2(PHB2) inhibition on the apoptosis of non-small cell lung cancer cell line A549. Methods For stable knockdown of PHB2, A549 strain was infected with lentiviruses. A549 cells with PHB2 depletion were

Differential immunization identifies PHB1/PHB2 as blood-borne tumor antigens [PDF]
Early diagnosis of cancer is crucial for successful treatment. Noninvasive assays for detecting tumor-derived antigens in serum and other bodily fluids have the potential to screen healthy individuals for hitherto undetected cancers. Very few such assays have been successfully developed, in part because identifying potential target antigens remains a ...

The Role of Prohibitin-2 in Diseases
Prohibitin-2 (PHB2) is a conserved protein in mitochondria that regulates various biological processes, including cell cycle, proliferation, apoptosis, transcription, signal transduction, and mitochondrial ridge morphogenesis.

Activation of an Estrogen/ Estrogen Receptor Signaling by BIG3 Through Its Inhibitory Effect on Nuclear Transport of PHB2/REA in Breast Cancer [PDF]
Breast cancer is known to be a hormone-dependent disease, and estrogens through an interaction with estrogen receptor (ER) enhance the proliferative and metastatic activity of breast tumor cells.
