Expression of HIF-1α, HIF-2α (EPAS1), and Their Target Genes in Paraganglioma and Pheochromocytoma with VHL and SDH Mutations
5 Sept 2006
Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Activation of the hypoxia-inducible transcription factors HIF-1 and HIF-2 and a HIF-independent defect in developmental apoptosis have been implicated in the pathogenesis of pheochromocytoma (PCC) associated with VHL, SDHB, and SDHD mutations. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to compare protein (HIF-1alpha, EPAS1, SDHB, JunB, CCND1, CD34, CLU) and gene (VEGF, BNIP3) expression patterns in VHL and SDHB/D...
