Relationship between hTERT levels and oxidative stress in epilepsy patients

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) is a key determinant of telomere maintenance and cellular aging. Oxidative stress plays a role in neurodegenerative processes by causing cellular damage through increased reactive oxygen species.

Many Disease-Associated Variants of hTERT Retain High Telomerase Enzymatic Activity [PDF]

, 2013
Mutations in the gene for telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) are associated with diseases including dyskeratosis congenita, aplastic anemia, pulmonary fibrosis and cancer.

Multi‐Cohort Analysis Reveals Genetic Predispositions to Clonal Hematopoiesis as Mutation‐Specific Risk Factors for Stroke

Advanced Genetics, Volume 6, Issue 1, March 2025.
This study comprehensively evaluated the differential effect of clonal hematopoiesis (CH) mutations on the risk of various stroke subtypes and functional recovery. It shows that TET2 is associated with small vessel stroke possibly via a pro‐inflammatory pathway. Abstract Recent observational studies have found an association between Clonal Hematopoesis

Immortalization of T-cells is accompanied by gradual changes in CpG methylation resulting in a profile resembling a subset of T-cell leukemias [PDF]

, 2014
We have previously described gene expression changes during spontaneous immortalization of T-cells, thereby identifying cellular processes important for cell growth crisis escape and unlimited proliferation. Here, we analyze the same model to investigate

Relationship between Dyskerin Expression and Telomerase Activity in Human Breast Cancer

Cellular Oncology, 2008
The nucleolar protein dyskerin is involved in the modification of specific uridine residues to pseudouridine on ribosomal and small nuclear RNAs and in the stabilization of the telomerase RNA component (TERC).

WDR79/TCAB1 plays a conserved role in the control of locomotion and ameliorates phenotypic defects in SMA models [PDF]

, 2017
SMN (Survival Motor Neuron) deficiency is the predominant cause of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a severe neurodegenerative disorder that can lead to progressive paralysis and death.

The differentiation status of primary gonadal germ cell tumors correlates inversely with telomerase activity and the expression level of the gene encoding the catalytic subunit of telomerase

BMC Cancer, 2002
Background The activity of the ribonucleoprotein enzyme telomerase is detectable in germ, stem and tumor cells. One major component of telomerase is human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT), which encodes the catalytic subunit of telomerase.

Antiviral regulator TRIM25 as a prognostic marker of better survival in Merkel cell carcinoma: Association with MCPyV status

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? TRIM25 is known for its role in antiviral immunity and association with poor prognosis in various cancers. This study reveals an association between high TRIM25 expression and Merkel cell polyomavirus positivity in Merkel cell carcinoma.

Is telomerase reactivation associated with the down-regulation of TGF β receptor-II expression in human breast cancer?

Cancer Cell International, 2003
Background Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein that synthesizes telomeres and plays an important role in chromosomal stability and cellular immortalisation. Telomerase activity is detectable in most human cancers but not in normal somatic cells.
