    Experimental Protocol:
     
    Sample preparation
    1. Tissue: Lyse the tissue sample by adding an appropriate volume of ice-cold RIPA/NP-40 Lysis Buffer (containing Protease Inhibitor Cocktail)，and homogenize the tissue at a low temperature.
    2. Adherent cell: Aspirate the culture medium and wash the cells with ice-cold PBS twice. Lyse the cells by adding an appropriate volume of RIPA/NP-40 Lysis Buffer (containing Protease Inhibitor Cocktail) and put the sample on ice for 5 min.
    3. Suspension cell: Transfer the culture medium to a pre-cooled centrifuge tube. Centrifuge and aspirate the supernatant. Wash the cells with ice-cold PBS twice. Lyse the cells by adding an appropriate volume of RIPA/NP-40 Lysis Buffer (containing Protease Inhibitor Cocktail) and put the sample on ice for 5 min.
    4. Place the lysate into a pre-cooled microcentrifuge tube. Centrifuge at 4°C for 15 min. Collect the supernatant;
    5. Remove a small volume of lysate to determine the protein concentration;
    6. Combine the lysate with protein loading buffer. Boil 20 µL sample under 95-100°C for 5 min. Centrifuge for 5 min after cool down on ice.
     
    Electrophoretic separation
    1. According to the concentration of extracted protein, load appropriate amount of protein sample and marker onto SDS-PAGE gels for electrophoresis. Recommended separating gel (lower gel) concentration: 10%. Reference Table for Selecting SDS-PAGE Separation Gel Concentrations
    2. Power up 80V for 30 minutes. Then the power supply is adjusted (110 V~150 V), the Marker is observed, and the electrophoresis can be stopped when the indicator band of the predyed protein Marker where the protein is located is properly separated. (Note that the current should not be too large when electrophoresis, too large current (more than 150 mA) will cause the temperature to rise, affecting the result of running glue. If high currents cannot be avoided, an ice bath can be used to cool the bath.)
     
    Transfer membrane
    1. Take out the converter, soak the clip and consumables in the pre-cooled converter;
    2. Activate PVDF membrane with methanol for 1 min and rinse with transfer buffer;
    3. Install it in the order of "black edge of clip - sponge - filter paper - filter paper - glue -PVDF membrane - filter paper - filter paper - sponge - white edge of clip";
    4. The protein was electrotransferred to PVDF membrane. ( 0.45 µm PVDF membrane is recommended ) Reference Table for Selecting PVDF Membrane Pore Size Specifications
    Recommended conditions for wet transfer: 200 mA, 60 min.
    ( Note that the transfer conditions can be adjusted according to the protein size. For high-molecular-weight proteins, a higher current and longer transfer time are recommended. However, ensure that the transfer tank remains at a low temperature to prevent gel melting.)

    1. After electrotransfer, wash the film with TBST at room temperature for 5 minutes;
    2. Incubate the film in the blocking solution for 1 hour at room temperature;
    3. Wash the film with TBST for 3 times, 5 minutes each time.
     
    Antibody incubation
    1. Use 5% skim milk powder to prepare the primary antibody working liquid (recommended dilution ratio for primary antibody 1:10000), gently shake and incubate with the film at 4°C overnight;
    2. Wash the film with TBST 3 times, 5 minutes each time;
    3. Add the secondary antibody to the blocking solution and incubate with the film gently at room temperature for 1 hour;
    4. After incubation, wash the film with TBST 3 times for 5 minutes each time.

    Background
    Mitochondria are central regulators of both cell survival and cell death, maintaining the balance between pro- and anti-apoptotic signals while producing ATP through the oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) pathway. Within mitochondria, prohibitin (PHB) proteins serve multiple essential functions. The first member, PHB1, was initially identified as an anti-proliferative protein in mammalian cells, whereas PHB2 was later discovered through its interaction with the IgM antigen receptor in complex with PHB1. PHB1 and PHB2 have molecular weights of approximately 32 kDa and 34 kDa, respectively. Both contain an N-terminal transmembrane domain, which belongs to an evolutionarily conserved prohibitin domain also present in other scaffold proteins such as stomatin, stomatin-like proteins (SLP1–3), flotillin, and HflK/C. Their C-terminal regions harbor coiled-coil domains that facilitate protein–protein interactions, including heterodimerization between PHB1 and PHB2 and binding to various transcriptional regulators. Dysregulation of PHBs has been linked to a wide spectrum of conditions, including aging, metabolic disorders, proliferative diseases, and degenerative pathologies. At the cellular level, depletion of PHB complexes impairs proliferation and heightens susceptibility to apoptosis. Subcellular localization studies reveal that PHB1 and PHB2 are distributed in the nucleus, mitochondria, and cytosol, and can also associate with certain membrane receptors. In the nucleus, PHBs function as transcriptional co-regulators by interacting with transcription factors, chromatin-modifying enzymes, cell-cycle proteins, and RNA-binding proteins. Within the cytoplasm, they engage with cytoskeletal transport proteins, signaling molecules, and membrane-associated receptors. PHBs are particularly abundant in cells with high energy requirements, which are especially vulnerable to mitochondrial dysfunction. Functionally, PHB proteins contribute to mitochondrial respiratory chain subunit turnover, OXPHOS complex assembly and activity, mitochondrial biogenesis, maintenance of mitochondrial networks, regulation of apoptosis, and mitophagy.
