Activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) through inhibiting interaction with prohibitins

iScience, 2023
Summary: 5′-Adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a potential therapeutic target for various medical conditions. We here identify a small-molecule compound (RX-375) that activates AMPK and inhibits fatty acid synthesis in cultured ...

Ras-Raf Signaling Needs Prohibitin [PDF]

Cell Cycle, 2005
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

Journal of Food and Drug Analysis, 2020
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).

The prohibitin-binding compound fluorizoline induces apoptosis in chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells through the upregulation of NOXA and synergizes with ibrutinib, 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide riboside or venetoclax

Haematologica, 2017
Fluorizoline is a new synthetic molecule that induces apoptosis by selectively targeting prohibitins. In the study herein, the pro-apoptotic effect of fluorizoline was assessed in 34 primary samples from patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia ...

Development of prohibitin ligands against osteoporosis

European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 2021
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

The Identification of Prohibitin in the Rat Heart Mitochondria in Heart Failure

Biomedicines, 2021
Mitochondria are considered the main organelles in the cell. They play an important role in both normal and abnormal heart function. There is a supramolecular organization between the complexes of the respiratory chain (supercomplexes (SCs)), which are ...

Downregulation of lung mitochondrial prohibitin in COPD [PDF]

Respiratory Medicine, 2012
Prohibitins (PHB1 and PHB2) are versatile proteins located at the inner mitochondrial membrane, maintaining normal mitochondrial function and morphology. They interact with the NADH dehydrogenase protein complex, which is essential for oxidoreductase activity within cells. However, their expression in lung epithelium, especially in smokers and patients

Mitochondrial Band-7 family proteins: scaffolds for respiratory chain assembly?

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014
The band-7 protein family comprises a diverse set of membrane-bound proteins characterised by the presence of a conserved domain. The exact function of this band-7 domain remains elusive, but examples from animal and bacterial stomatin-type proteins ...

Mitochondrial dysfunction and adipogenic reduction by prohibitin silencing in 3T3-L1 cells. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Increase in mitochondrial biogenesis has been shown to accompany brown and white adipose cell differentiation. Prohibitins (PHBs), comprised of two evolutionarily conserved proteins, prohibitin-1 (PHB1) and prohibitin-2 (PHB2), are present in a high ...

Characterization and functionality of two members of the SPFH protein superfamily, prohibitin 1 and 2 in Leishmania major

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Leishmaniasis, a disease caused by parasites of the genus Leishmania, infects roughly 12 million people worldwide, with about two million new cases per year. Prohibitins (PHBs) are highly conserved proteins belonging to the stomatin-prohibitin
