Dysregulation of HIF2α and autophagy in renal cell carcinoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
Our recent study shows that autophagy collaborates with proteasomes to degrade endothelial PAS domain-containing protein 1 (EPAS1, also known as HIF2α) in a manner dependent on Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) and sequestosome 1 (SQSTM1/p62). The genetic dysregulation of autophagy is a common feature of different subtypes of renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

ITPR1 protects renal cancer cells against natural killer cells by inducing autophagy.
Clear cell renal cell carcinomas (RCC) frequently display inactivation of von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) gene leading to increased level of hypoxia-inducible factors (HIF). In this study, we investigated the potential role of HIF2α in regulating RCC susceptibility to natural killer (NK) cell-mediated killing. We demonstrated that the RCC cell line 786-0 with mutated VHL was resistant to NK-mediated ly...

In two recent studies, the HIF2α antagonist, PT2399, decreased HIF2α-dependent transcription and tumor growth in selected VHL-deficient clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) models. These studies validate HIF2α as a therapeutic target in ccRCC, reveal variable sensitivity to HIF2α antagonism, and provide the foundation for predictive biomarker-driven clinical trials.

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common primary cancer arising from the kidney in adults, with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) representing approximately 75% of all RCCs. Increased expression of the hypoxia-induced factors-1α (HIF1α) and HIF2α has been suggested as a pivotal step in ccRCC carcinogenesis, but this has not been thoroughly tested. Here, we report that expression of a...

The tumor suppressor gene, Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL), is frequently mutated in the most common form of kidney cancer, clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC). In hypoxic conditions, or when there is a VHL mutation, the hypoxia inducible factors, HIF1α and HIF2α, are stabilized and transcribe a panel of genes associated with cancer such as vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR), plate...

Continuous activation of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) is important for progression of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and acquired resistance to antiangiogenic multikinase and mTOR inhibitors. Recently, HIF2α antagonists PT2385 and PT2399 were developed and are being evaluated in a phase I clinical trial for advanced or metastatic clear cell RCC (ccRCC). However, resistance to HIF2α antagonists wo...
