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.

Prohibitin 1 is essential to preserve mitochondria and myelin integrity in Schwann cells
Prohibitin 2 can localize to the axon-Schwann-cell interface and is required for myelin formation. Here, the authors show that deletion of prohibitin 1 in Schwann cells instead triggers severe myelin loss likely caused by mitochondrial dysfunction, and ...

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

Prohibitin-1 Transgenic Mice Revealed an Important Role of Prohibitin in Testicular Steroidogenesis
Abstract Testosterone, the male sex hormone, plays an important role in the sexual development and fertility. Consequently, its deficiency causes infertility, obesity, osteoporosis and cardiovascular diseases. Leydig cells (LCs) are the testicular interstitial cells responsible for the biosynthesis of testosterone in response to ...
