Aloe-emodin inhibits nasopharyngeal carcinoma by modulating telomerase activity involving the c-Myc/E2F1 axis [PDF]
Frontiers in PharmacologyBackgroundThe telomerase catalytic subunit hTERT is a critical oncogenic driver in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). The specific role of aloe-emodin (AE) in regulating hTERT in NPC has not been systematically investigated. The regulatory network involving

hTERT Promotes CRC Proliferation and Migration by Recruiting YBX1 to Increase NRF2 Expression
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 High human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) expression is related to severe Colorectal Cancer (CRC) progression and negatively related to CRC patient survival.

Human telomerase is directly regulated by non-telomeric TRF2-G-quadruplex interaction
Cell Reports, 2021 Summary: Human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) remains suppressed in most normal somatic cells. Resulting erosion of telomeres leads eventually to replicative senescence. Reactivation of hTERT maintains telomeres and triggers progression of >90%

HPV16 E7 protein and hTERT proteins defective for telomere maintenance cooperate to immortalize human keratinocytes. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2013 Previous studies have shown that wild-type human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) protein can functionally replace the human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) E6 protein, which cooperates with the viral E7 protein in the immortalization of primary ...

AMP-activated protein kinase regulates the expression of human telomerase reverse transcriptase. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The expression of hTERT in tumor cells contributes to oncogenic transformation by promoting immortalization. For this reason, hTERT is one of the major targets for cancer therapy, and an efficient method to downregulate hTERT expression is required for ...

Lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) Is required for the transcriptional repression of the telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) gene. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 BACKGROUND: Lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1), catalysing demethylation of mono- and di-methylated histone H3-K4 or K9, exhibits diverse transcriptional activities by mediating chromatin reconfiguration.

MicroRNAs and Epigenetics Strategies to Reverse Breast Cancer
Cells, 2019 Breast cancer is a sporadic disease with genetic and epigenetic components. Genomic instability in breast cancer leads to mutations, copy number variations, and genetic rearrangements, while epigenetic remodeling involves alteration by DNA methylation ...

Silencing of the hTERT gene by shRNA inhibits colon cancer SW480 cell growth in vitro and in vivo. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) is the key enzyme responsible for synthesizing and maintaining the telomeres on the ends of chromosomes, and it is essential for cell proliferation.
