Up-regulation of pVHL along with down-regulation of HIF-1α by NDRG2 expression attenuates proliferation and invasion in renal cancer cells.

The majority of renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) are characterized by loss of function of the tumor suppressor gene von Hippel Lindau (VHL), which acts as ubiquitin ligase for hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α). In the absence of VHL, HIF-1α protein becomes stabilized and contributes to tumorigenesis....
