Hypoxia and podocyte-specificVhlhdeletion confer risk of glomerular disease
4 Jul 2007
Abstract excerpt
Hypoxia is a potent regulator of a multitude of cellular processes, including metabolism and cell survival. The transcriptional response to oxygen deprivation is mainly mediated by hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs), which are targeted for proteasomal degradation by the von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor protein (pVHL) under normoxia. Podocytes, as part of the glomerular filtration barrier, are prone to hypoxic...
