Biochim Biophys Acta 1653:1-24. 2003....
von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor mutants faithfully model pathological hypoxia-driven angiogenesis and vascular retinopathies in zebrafishEllen van Rooijen
Hubrecht Institute, Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences and University Medical Center Utrecht, Utrecht, The Netherlands
Dis Model Mech 3:343-53. 2010..Importantly, they will allow for a cost-effective, non-invasive and efficient way to screen for novel pharmacological agents and combinatorial treatments...
Mobility of the von Hippel-Lindau tumour suppressor protein is regulated by kinesin-2Dorus A Mans
Laboratory of Experimental Oncology, Department of Medical Oncology, University Medical Center Utrecht, Utrecht, The Netherlands
Exp Cell Res 314:1229-36. 2008..From these data we suggest that mobility of a subcellular pool of pVHL is regulated by the ATP-dependent kinesin-2 motor. Kinesin-2 driven mobility of cytoplasmic pVHL might enable pVHL to function as a tumour suppressor...
Zebrafish mutants in the von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor display a hypoxic response and recapitulate key aspects of Chuvash polycythemiaEllen van Rooijen
Department of Medical Oncology, University Medical Center, Utrecht, The Netherlands
Blood 113:6449-60. 2009..They will contribute to our understanding of hypoxic signaling, hematopoiesis, and VHL-associated disease progression...
The von Hippel-Lindau tumour suppressor interacts with microtubules through kinesin-2Martijn P Lolkema
Department of Medical Oncology, University Medical Center Utrecht, Heidelberglaan 100, rm F02 126, 3584 CX Utrecht, The Netherlands
FEBS Lett 581:4571-6. 2007..The interaction with kinesin-2 facilitates pVHL binding to microtubules. These data suggest that microtubule-dependent functions of pVHL are influenced by kinesin-2...
Late release of circulating endothelial cells and endothelial progenitor cells after chemotherapy predicts response and survival in cancer patientsJeanine M Roodhart
Department of Medical Oncology, University Medical Center Utrecht, Utrecht, The Netherlands
Neoplasia 12:87-94. 2010..The correlation with a clinical response and survival provides further support for the biologic relevance of these cells in patients' prognosis and stresses their possible use as a therapeutic target...
Tumor suppression by the von Hippel-Lindau protein requires phosphorylation of the acidic domainMartijn P Lolkema
Department of Medical Oncology, University Medical Center Utrecht, Heidelberglaan 100, 3584 CX Utrecht, The Netherlands
J Biol Chem 280:22205-11. 2005..We propose that phosphorylation of the acidic domain plays a role in the regulation of proper fibronectin matrix deposition and that this may be relevant for the development of VHL-associated malignancies...

Department of Medical Oncology, University Medical Center Utrecht, 3508 GA Utrecht, The Netherlands
Clin Cancer Res 13:421-6. 2007..We assessed whether we could distinguish poor from good prognosis patients at presentation in our clinic by means of quantifying circulating cell-free mitochondrial and genomic nucleic acids in plasma...
Genetic analysis of von Hippel-Lindau diseaseMorgan Nordstrom-O'Brien
Department of Medical Oncology, University Medical Center Utrecht, Universiteitsweg 100, Utrecht, The Netherlands
Hum Mutat 31:521-37. 2010..This easy-to-use compilation of VHL mutations is intended to facilitate research and function as a necessary adjunct for physicians when providing patient information...
All along the watchtower: is the cilium a tumor suppressor organelle?Dorus A Mans
Department of Medical Oncology, University Medical Center Utrecht, The Netherlands
Biochim Biophys Acta 1786:114-25. 2008..Furthermore, we predict that we are just now seeing the tip of the iceberg, and that the list of cancers associated with altered ciliary signalling will grow exponentially in the next few years...
The von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor protein influences microtubule dynamics at the cell peripheryMartijn P Lolkema
Department of Medical Oncology, University Medical Center Utrecht, Utrecht, The Netherlands
Exp Cell Res 301:139-46. 2004..Here we propose a complementary method to directly measure VHL-induced subcellular changes in microtubule dynamics, which may serve as a tool to study the effect of MT binding proteins such as VHL...
