2018年2月24日 · Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) is an important tumor suppressor that is lost in the majority of clear cell carcinoma of renal cancer (ccRCC). Its regulatory pathway involves the activity of E3 ligase, which targets hypoxia inducible factor α (including HIF1α and HIF2α) for proteasome degradation.

2022年1月29日 · The inactivation of von Hippel–Lindau (VHL) is critical for clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and VHL syndrome. VHL loss leads to the stabilization of hypoxia-inducible factor α (HIFα) and other substrate proteins, which, …

2 天之前 · von Hippel–Lindau syndrome (VHLS) is a hereditary cancer syndrome with CNS hemangioblastomas, clear cell renal carcinoma, pheochromocytoma, retinal angiomas, and a number of other manifestations. VHLS is caused by a mutation in the VHL gene and is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. However, some cases of VHLS develop de novo, and among them, there are rare patients with a mosaic form ...

VHL is the substrate recognition component of the Cul2-Rbx1-EloBC-VHL E3 ubiquitin ligase complex [4]. VHL binds hydroxylated target proteins in an oxygen-dependent manner, leading to their polyubiquitination and degradation. The most characterized VHL substrates are the transcription factors hypoxia-inducible factors 1 (HIF1 ) and HIF2 [5].

This review will focus on VHL-mediated signaling pathways involving the latest identified substrates/binding partners, including N-Myc downstream-regulated gene 3 (NDRG3), AKT, and G9a, etc., and their physiological roles in hypoxia signaling and cancer.

This review will trace the clinical development of systemic therapies for VHL disease and additionally highlight anticipated challenges and opportunities for future VHL systemic therapy.

A common feature of tumorigenesis is the upregulation of angiogenesis pathways in order to supply nutrients via the blood for the growing tumor. Understanding how cells promote angiogenesis and how to control these processes pharmaceutically are of great clinical interest. Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common form of sporadic and inherited kidney cancer which is ...

Mutations in the Von Hippel–Lindau (VHL) gene are the driving force in many forms of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and promote hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-dependent tumor proliferation, metastasis and angiogenesis. Despite the progress that has already been made, ccRCC generally remain resistant to conventional therapies and ccRCC patients suffer from metastasis and acquired ...

2023年9月14日 · The L169P VHL variant is comparable to WT VHL in terms of protein stability, ability to degrade HIF1α factors and ability to regulate hypoxia gene expression, as well as in the suppression of ccRCC tumor cell growth. Taken together, our data indicate that the L169P VHL variant alone is unlikely to drive the oncogenesis of sporadic ccRCC.

2023年7月7日 · In our study, we investigated VHL, PTEN, and BAP1 genes and the sequencing of 24 samples of patients with renal tumors, revealing that VHL was mutated at a noticeable frequency (25%). Six of the investigated samples showed mutations, and one genetic polymorphism (rs779805) was detected in both heterozygote and homozygote forms.
