An intricate relationship exists between the mitochondrial function and proteasome activity. Our recent report showed in a rat model of renal transplantation that mitochondrial dysfunction precedes compromised proteasome function and this results in a vicious cycle of mitochondrial injury and proteasome dysfunction. In this study, we studied whether reactive oxygen species (ROS) has a role in proteasome alteration in renal cells and vice versa.
