Hypoxia-Inducible Factor 2-Dependent Pathways Driving Von Hippel–Lindau-Deficient Renal Cancer
8 Jun 2018
Abstract excerpt
The most common type of the renal cancers detected in humans is clear cell renal cell carcinomas (ccRCCs). These tumors are usually initiated by biallelic gene inactivation of the Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) factor in the renal epithelium, which deregulates the hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) HIF1α and HIF2α, and provokes their constitutive activation irrespective of the cellular oxygen availability. While HIF1α can...
