Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Our primary goal was to determine whether increased expression of the transmembrane carbonic anhydrase (CA) isozymes in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is regulated by the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) gene. METHODS: We studied mRNA expression of all three transmembrane CAs - CA IX, XII, and XIV - in 17 RCC cell lines, transformants of the wild-type VHL gene, and normal kidney tissue cultures, and then compared...
