Figure 1 Clear Cell Renal Carcinoma Subtypes pVHL targets HIFα for proteasomal degradation. Accordingly, tumors with wild-type pVHL have low levels of HIFα. pVHL-defective tumors can be subdivided based on whether they accumulate both HIF1α and HIF2α (H1H2) or HIF2α alone (H2). In the former, HIF1α antagonizes c-Myc. In the latter, this antagonism is lost and c-Myc activity is therefore increased.
