چکیده

quired abnormalities of megakaryocyte production that could be due to progenitor trapping in the osteoblastic niche? There are elegant techniques available for in vivo microscopy of the marrow space in living animals that could be used to study these questions4 and I am confident that these experiments will be or are being done. I look forward to more details regarding the movement of megakaryocyte and other progenitor cells from their respective niches so they can get on with the important business of producing blood cells.

Gene expression profiling in a renal cell carcinoma cell line: dissecting VHL and hypoxia-dependent pathways.

The von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor, pVHL, is a key player in one of the best characterized hypoxia signaling pathways, the VHL-hypoxia-inducible factor (VHL-HIF) pathway. To better understand the role of VHL in the hypoxia signaling pathways of tumor cells, we used serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) to investigate hypoxia-regulated gene expression in renal carcinoma cells (786-0), wi...

بررسی وضعیت متیلاسیون در پروموتور ژن‌های vHL، Runx3 و Ecad و بیان این ژن‌ها در سلول‌های CD34+ خون بند ناف

Background and Objective: Specific differentiation processes to various cell lineages are closely associated with factors such as transcription factors, tumor suppressor elements and internal signaling pathways including vHL, Ecad, and Runx3. Epigenetics is an effective control mechanism of these factors, including several mechanisms such as methylation and acetylation. The main objective of th...

Identification of the Lipodepsipeptide MDN-0066, a Novel Inhibitor of VHL/HIF Pathway Produced by a New Pseudomonas Species

Throughout recent history, metabolites of microbial origin have had an extraordinary impact on the welfare of humanity. In fact, natural products have largely been--and still are--considered an exceedingly valuable platform for the discovery of new drugs against diverse pathologies. Such value is partly due to their higher complexity and chemical diversity as compared to those of synthetic and ...

Deciphering von Hippel-Lindau (VHL/Vhl)-Associated Pancreatic Manifestations by Inactivating Vhl in Specific Pancreatic Cell Populations

The von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) syndrome is a pleomorphic familial disease characterized by the development of highly vascularized tumors, such as hemangioblastomas of the central nervous system, pheochromocytomas, renal cell carcinomas, cysts and neuroendocrine tumors of the pancreas. Up to 75% of VHL patients are affected by VHL-associated pancreatic lesions; however, very few reports in the publ...
