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. Recently, there has been growing interest in the biological function of PHB2.

Prohibitin and mitochondrial biology [PDF]
Prohibitins are ubiquitous, evolutionarily conserved proteins that are mainly localized in mitochondria. The mitochondrial prohibitin complex comprises two subunits, PHB1 and PHB2. These two proteins assemble into a ring-like macromolecular structure at the inner mitochondrial membrane and are implicated in diverse cellular processes: from ...

Mitophagy: Permitted by Prohibitin [PDF]
Autophagic responses specific for damaged or superfluous mitochondria are crucial for the maintenance of cellular and organismal homeostasis. Recent data demonstrate that components of the inner mitochondrial membrane that are unmasked upon outer membrane permeabilization facilitate the autophagic destruction of the organelle.

The role of prohibitin in cell signaling [PDF]
Prohibitin‐1 (PHB, also known as PHB1), a member of the Band‐7 family of proteins, is highly conserved evolutionarily, widely expressed, and present in different cellular compartments. Genetic studies with different organism models have provided strong evidence for an important biological role of PHB in mitochondrial function, cell proliferation, and ...

Unveiling the potential of prohibitin in cancer [PDF]
Recently, research has shed new light on the role of Prohibitin (PHB) in cancer pathogenesis across an array of cancer types. Important mechanisms for PHB have been unveiled in several cancers, especially with regard to the androgen independent state of prostate cancer (PC) and oestrogen dependent breast cancer.

Background: Chronic lung diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) are linked to several mitochondrial alterations. Cigarette smoke (CS) alters the structure and function of mitochondria.

Ras-Raf Signaling Needs Prohibitin [PDF]
Prohibitin has been connected to diverse cellular functions including cell cycle control, senescence, apoptosis and stabilization of mitochondrial proteins. By employing a loss of function approach using siRNAs we have demonstrated an unexpected role of PHB in the activation of Raf/MEK/ERK pathway by active Ras and in modulating epithelial cell ...

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).

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
