EPAS1 and neoplasm: Here we investigated the effects on tumor growth and on the tumor microenvironment of three different direct and indirect HIF-α inhibitors, namely the HIF-2α-specific inhibitor PT2399, the dual HIF-1α/HIF-2α inhibitor Acriflavine, and the S1P signaling pathway inhibitor FTY720, in the autochthonous Vhl/Trp53/Rb1 mutant ccRCC mouse model and validated these findings in human ccRCC cell culture models.
