IGFBP6 orchestrates antiinfective immune collapse in murine sepsis via prohibitin-2–mediated immunosuppression [PDF]
The persistent challenge of sepsis-related mortality underscores the necessity for deeper insights. Our multicenter, cross-age cohort study identified insulin-like growth factor binding protein 6 (IGFBP6) as a critical regulator in sepsis diagnosis ...

Prohibitin 2 regulates the proliferation and lineage-specific differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells in mitochondria. [PDF]
BackgroundThe pluripotent state of embryonic stem (ES) cells is controlled by a network of specific transcription factors. Recent studies also suggested the significant contribution of mitochondria on the regulation of pluripotent stem cells.

Identification of Prohibitin (PHB) as an Entry Factor of Highly Pathogenic Coronaviruses Using Metabolic Glycoengineering and Photo-Crosslinking Techniques [PDF]
Coronaviruses (CoVs) rely on host surface factors to mediate viral attachment and entry, yet conserved host cofactors shared across different CoVs remain poorly defined.

Involvement of prohibitin 1 and prohibitin 2 upregulation in cBSA-induced podocyte cytotoxicity. [PDF]
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).

Functional role and molecular mechanisms underlying prohibitin 2 in platelet mitophagy and activation. [PDF]
Platelet mitophagy is a major pathway involved in the clearance of injured mitochondria during hemostasis and thrombosis. Prohibitin 2 (PHB2) has recently emerged as an inner mitochondrial membrane receptor involved in mitophagy. However, the mechanisms underlying PHB2‑mediated platelet mitophagy and activation are not completely understood.

Bif-1 Interacts with Prohibitin-2 to Regulate Mitochondrial Inner Membrane during Cell Stress and Apoptosis. [PDF]
Background Mitochondria are dynamic organelles that undergo fission and fusion. During cell stress, mitochondrial dynamics shift to fission, leading to mitochondrial fragmentation, membrane leakage, and apoptosis.

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

COMP-prohibitin 2 interaction maintains mitochondrial homeostasis and controls smooth muscle cell identity. [PDF]
Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are highly phenotypically plastic, and loss of the contractile phenotype in VSMCs has been recognized at the early onset of the pathology of a variety of vascular diseases. However, the endogenous regulatory mechanism

CaMK IV phosphorylates prohibitin 2 and regulates prohibitin 2-mediated repression of MEF2 transcription. [PDF]
Prohibitin 2 (PHB2) is an evolutionarily conserved and ubiquitously expressed multifunctional protein which is present in various cellular compartments including the nucleus. However, mechanisms underlying various functions of PHB2 are not fully explored yet.
