Loss of PBRM1 rescues VHL dependent replication stress to promote renal carcinogenesis

Mutations in VHL have been linked to clear cell renal cancer, but the molecular mechanisms involved remain unclear. Here the authors generate a mouse model closely mimicking the human disease and show that VHL loss induces DNA replication stress that is rescued by the concomitant loss of PBRM1 permi...

Description
Summary:Mutations in VHL have been linked to clear cell renal cancer, but the molecular mechanisms involved remain unclear. Here the authors generate a mouse model closely mimicking the human disease and show that VHL loss induces DNA replication stress that is rescued by the concomitant loss of PBRM1 permitting transformation.
