Tianshengyuan-1 (TSY-1) regulates cellular Telomerase activity by methylation of TERT promoter. [PDF]
, 2016 Telomere and Telomerase have recently been explored as anti-aging and anti-cancer drug targets with only limited success. Previously we showed that the Chinese herbal medicine Tianshengyuan-1 (TSY-1), an agent used to treat bone marrow deficiency, has a ...

NMI inhibits cancer stem cell traits by downregulating hTERT in breast cancer. [PDF]
, 2017 N-myc and STAT interactor (NMI) has been proved to bind to different transcription factors to regulate a variety of signaling mechanisms including DNA damage, cell cycle and epithelial-mesenchymal transition. However, the role of NMI in the regulation of

Neurofibromin knockdown in glioma cell lines is associated with changes in cytokine and chemokine secretion in vitro. [PDF]
, 2018 The neurofibromin-1 tumor suppressor gene (NF1) is altered in approximately 20% of sporadic glioblastoma (GBM) cases. NF1 deficient GBM frequently shows a mesenchymal gene expression signature, suggesting a relationship between NF1 status and the tumor ...

Mapping the FEN1 interaction domain with hTERT [PDF]
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2011 The activity of telomerase in cancer cells is tightly regulated by numerous proteins including DNA replication factors. However, it is unclear how replication proteins regulate telomerase action in higher eukaryotic cells. Previously we have demonstrated that the multifunctional DNA replication and repair protein flap endonuclease 1 (FEN1) is in ...

NF-κB signaling and crosstalk during carcinogenesis
4 open, 2019 Transcription factors (TFs) are proteins that control the transcription of genetic information from DNA to mRNA by binding to specific DNA sequences either on their own or with other proteins as a complex.

Long-term persistent infection of HPV 16 E6 up-regulate SP1 and hTERT by inhibiting LKB1 in lung cancer cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 HPV 16 E6 upregulates hTERT expression in lung cancer cells. However, the underlying molecular mechanism is unclear. In this paper, E6, LKB1, SP1, and hTERT mRNA expression levels were detected in brushing cells of patients with lung cancer (n = 106) and

RPGR protein complex regulates proteasome activity and mediates store-operated calcium entry [PDF]
, 2018 Ciliopathies are a group of genetically heterogeneous disorders, characterized by defects in cilia genesis or maintenance. Mutations in the RPGR gene and its interacting partners, RPGRIP1 and RPGRIP1L, cause ciliopathies, but the function of their ...

Detection of hTERT protein by flow cytometry [PDF]
Leukemia, 2000 Telomerase is a telomere-specific DNA polymerase consisting of protein and RNA components, which is activated in germline cells and the majority of cancers and serves to counter the consequences of telomere shortening. The protein component, hTERT, is believed to be the catalytic subunit of human telomerase and its expression at the mRNA level ...

Regulation and clinical potential of telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT/hTERT) in breast cancer
Cell Communication and Signaling, 2023 Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT/hTERT) serves as the pivotal catalytic subunit of telomerase, a crucial enzyme responsible for telomere maintenance and human genome stability.

An inducible CRISPR/Cas9 screen identifies DTX2 as a transcriptional regulator of human telomerase
iScience, 2022 Summary: Most tumor cells reactivate telomerase to ensure unlimited proliferation, whereas the expression of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) is tightly regulated and rate-limiting for telomerase activity maintenance.
