Description

Application

RCC4 plus vector alone is mainly used to study the tumour suppressor gene product function - von Hippel-Lindau tumour suppressor gene. It is also used in cell responses to hypoxia.

• RCC4 plus vector alone has been used in study involving the effect of in vitro ischemia on canonical hypoxic HIF-1α (Hypoxia Inducible Factor α) stabilization.
• It has been used in the study involving CMA (chaperone-mediated autophagy)-mediated degradation of HIF1α in the lysosome.
• It has also been used to study lipodepsipeptide MDN-0066-mediated inhibition of VHL/HIF (Von Hippel-Lindau/hypoxia inducible factor) pathway.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Renal cell carcinoma cell line RCC4 stably transfected with an empty expression vector, pcDNA3, conferring neomycin resistance.

Renal cell carcinoma cell line RCC4 stably transfected with an empty expression vector, pcDNA3, conferring neomycin resistance. This cell line is VHL-deficient i.e. the von Hippel-Lindau tumour suppressor gene product is not expressed. These cells are tumourigenic.
