Development of prohibitin ligands against osteoporosis
Current therapeutic approaches to osteoporosis display some potential adverse effects and a limited efficacy on non-vertebral fracture reduction. Some sulfonylamidines targeting the scaffold proteins prohibitins-1 and 2 (PHB1/2) have been showed to inhibit the formation of osteoclasts in charge of bone resorption. Herein, we report the development of a

Proteomic analysis of the rat ovary following chronic low-dose exposure to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) [PDF]
2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is a ubiquitously distributed endocrine-disrupting chemical and reproductive toxicant. In order to elucidate low-dose TCDD-mediated effects on reproductive or endocrine functions, female Sprague-Dawley rats were

Involvement of prohibitin 1 and prohibitin 2 upregulation in cBSA-induced podocyte cytotoxicity
Membranous nephropathy (MN) is the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults, when not effectively treated. The aim of this study was to discover new targets for the diagnosis and treatment of MN. A reliable mouse model of MN was used by the administration of cationic bovine serum albumin (cBSA).

Prohibitins in neurodegeneration and mitochondrial homeostasis
The incidence of age-related neurodegenerative disorders has risen with the increase of life expectancy. Unfortunately, the diagnosis of such disorders is in most cases only possible when the neurodegeneration status is already advanced, and symptoms are evident.
