Human telomerase reverse transcriptase expression in ovarian tumors
Background : Ovarian cancer is the 6 th most common cancer among women. In ovarian tumors, the borderline category is not well defined due to the difficulty in assessing stromal invasion. The World Health Organization (WHO) defined it as tumor that lacks

Human Telomerase Activation Requires Two Independent Interactions between Telomerase RNA and Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase [PDF]
Inhibition or activation of the reverse transcriptase telomerase can profoundly affect the proliferative capacity of normal cells and cancers. Here, we elucidate structural requirements for function of the essential RNA component of human telomerase, hTR.

Hedgehog signaling regulates telomerase reverse transcriptase in human cancer cells. [PDF]
The Hedgehog (HH) signaling pathway is critical for normal embryonic development, tissue patterning and cell differentiation. Aberrant HH signaling is involved in multiple human cancers.

Regulation of the human telomerase reverse transcriptase gene [PDF]
Most somatic human cells lack telomerase activity because they do not express the telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) gene. Conversely, most cancer cells express hTERT and are telomerase positive. For most tumors it is not clear whether hTERT expression is due to their origin from telomerase positive stem cells or to reactivation of the gene ...

Functional Multimerization of the Human Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase [PDF]
The telomerase enzyme exists as a large complex (approximately 1,000 kDa) in mammals and at minimum is composed of the telomerase RNA and the catalytic subunit telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT). In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, telomerase appears to function as an interdependent dimer or multimer in vivo (J. Prescott and E. H.

Transcriptional regulation of the human telomerase reverse transcriptase [PDF]
hTERT and NFAT were thought until recently to belong to separate metabolic compartments. The involvement of NFAT in the induction of hTERT transcription suggested by hTERT expression variations during lymphocyte stimulation and immunosuppressive treatments explains the link between hTERT expression and cell stimulation and offers new insights for ...

Steatotic HCC can be diagnosed by MRI and forms a pro‐tumor immune microenvironment with high expression of PD‐L1, M2 polarization of macrophages and activation of CAFs, which may be a good target for combined immunotherapy. Abstract Background and Aims Immunotherapy has become the standard‐of‐care treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but its ...

Human Specific Regulation of the Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase Gene [PDF]
Telomerase, regulated primarily by the transcription of its catalytic subunit telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT), is critical for controlling cell proliferation and tissue homeostasis by maintaining telomere length. Although there is a high conservation between human and mouse TERT genes, the regulation of their transcription is significantly ...

CHIP Promotes Human Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase Degradation and Negatively Regulates Telomerase Activity [PDF]
The maintenance of eukaryotic telomeres requires telomerase, which is minimally composed of a telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) and an associated RNA component. Telomerase activity is tightly regulated by expression of human (h) TERT at both the transcriptional and post-translational levels.
