Prohibitin, a novel intracellular antiproliferative protein, blocks entry into the S phase of the cell division cycle when its mRNA is microinjected into normal fibroblasts or HeLa cells. To learn more about the interaction between prohibitin and the cell cycle, we studied the effect of microinjecting prohibitin mRNA at different points during the transition from G0 to S phase and analyzed prohibitin mRNA and protein levels in different parts of the cell cycle. The antiproliferative activity of microinjected prohibitin mRNA is high in G0/G1 and falls as cells approach S phase. Prohibitin mRNA and protein levels are high in G1, fall with S phase, rise again in G2, and fall in M. Together, these findings suggest that endogenous prohibitin contributes to the control of the G1 to S transition in cycling cells in a complex manner, which involves both a transcriptional and posttranslational mechanism.

Prohibitin 1 (PHB1) is ubiquitously expressed in multiple compartments within cells and is involved in the cell cycle, cell signaling, apoptosis, transcriptional regulation, and mitochondrial biogenesis at the cellular level and in the inflammation-associated and immunological functions of B and T lymphocytes. PHB1 is an important protein that performs antioxidant regulation and immune functions inside and outside cells but has not been sufficiently studied in teleost fish. Our study aimed to elucidate the functional properties and gain new insights into the biological processes and immune system of red seabream (Pagrus major), a commercially important fish cultured in South Korea and East Asia.

Analysis of the Anticancer Mechanism of OR3 Pigment from Streptomyces coelicolor JUACT03 Against the Human Hepatoma Cell Line Using a Proteomic Approach.

Cell Biochem Biophys

June 2024

Department of Biotechnology, Center for Research in Pure and Applied Sciences, School of Sciences, JAIN (Deemed-to-Be-University), Bangalore, Karnataka, 560078, India.

This study assessed OR3 pigment, derived from Streptomyces coelicolor JUACT03, for its anticancer potential on HepG2 liver cancer cells and its safety on HEK293 normal cells. OR3 induced apoptosis and inhibited HepG2 cell proliferation, confirmed by caspase activation, Sub-G1 phase cell cycle arrest, and reduced colony formation. Proteomic analysis revealed altered expression of proteins associated with ribosomal function, mRNA processing, nuclear transport, proteasome activity, carbohydrate metabolism, chaperone function, histone regulation, and vesicle-mediated transport.

Prohibitin2 (PHB2) is recently identified as a novel inner membrane mitophagy receptor to mediate mitophagy. In the present study, the function of CgPHB2 in mediating mitophagy in response to Vibrio splendidus stimulation was investigated in Crassostrea gigas. CgPHB2 protein was mainly distributed in the cytoplasm of three subpopulations of haemocytes.

Background: Prohibitin 1 (PHB1) has been identified as an antiproliferative protein that is highly conserved and ubiquitously expressed, and it participates in a variety of essential cellular functions, including apoptosis, cell cycle regulation, proliferation, and survival. Emerging evidence indicates that PHB1 may play an important role in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the role of PHB1 in HCC is controversial.

Department of Infectious Diseases, Navy No. 971 Hospital, Qingdao 266071, Shandong Province, China.

Background: The function of prohibitin 1 (Phb1) during liver regeneration (LR) remains relatively unexplored. Our previous research identified downregulation of Phb1 in rat liver mitochondria 24 h after 70% partial hepatectomy (PHx), as determined by subcellular proteomic analysis.

Aim: To investigate the potential role of Phb1 during LR.
