They include carbonic anyhdrase IX, which is the RCC associated antigen G250 and is induced in many cancer types, hypoxia induced gene ADORA3, potentially oncogenic AXL gene which causes transformation when overexpressed in NIH 3T3 cells, and vitamin D receptor (VDR, up-regulated), which was found to be over-expressed in pancreatic cell lines (Albrechtsson et al. 2003) and is down-regulated by resveratrol compound (Shi et al. 2004) in RCC cell lines, which acts as a chemopreventive agent for RCC and other types of cancers. The gene discussed is AXL; the disease is cancer.
