Interplay of MYC and HIF signaling in pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas: Impact on the differentiation and aggressiveness

N Bechmann , I Poser , D Stanke , G. Eisenhofer

The genetic heterogeneity of pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGL) offers opportunities to develop individualized treatment approaches for affected patients. Therefore, an improved understanding of the molecular features associated with different tumor phenotypes is required. Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) 2α-regulated pathways involving the MYC/MAX complex are directly linked to differentiation and aggressiveness in PPGLs. However, the distinct functions of the two...
