VHL suppresses RAPTOR and inhibits mTORC1 signaling in clear cell renal cell carcinoma

Abstract Inactivation of the tumor suppressor von Hippel–Lindau (VHL) gene is a key event in hereditary and sporadic clear cell renal cell carcinomas (ccRCC). The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway is a fundamental regulator of cell growth and proliferation, and hyperactivation...
