| Abstract | Prohibitin (PHB), a potential tumor suppressor, has been shown to inhibit cell proliferation by repressing E2F-mediated transcription. But little is known about the role of PHB involved in tubulointerstitial fibrosis (TIF). Here, for the first time, we found PHB protein was positively expressed at normal renal tissues, strongly down-regulated in renal biopsy specimens, and negatively correlated with the expression of alpha-smooth-muscle actin (α-SMA) and with the degrees of tubulointerstitial lesions. Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) is the most important profibrotic cytokine in the process of TIF and capable of inducing cell phenotypic change of interstitial fibroblasts characterized by the de novo expression of α-SMA. Confocal microscopy showed majority of PHB is located at cytoplasm as well as at nucleus in rat kidney fibroblasts cell (NRK-49F). As we found that PHB protein and mRNA expression were down-regulated in NRK-49F cells following TGF-β1 stimulation. We used transient transfection to over-express PHB protein and found that cells with increased PHB levels had a significant reduction in the percentage entering cell cycle and abolished de novo expression of α-SMA following TGF-β1 stimulation. Therefore, over-expression of PHB suppresses renal interstitial fibroblasts proliferation and cell phenotypic change induced by TGF-β1, which indicates PHB as a potential therapeutic target to halt the progression of TIF. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
