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

Functional identification and mapping of a gene that represses telomerase hTERT transcription in prostate cancer cells [PDF]
, 2010 This thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University.Telomerase is present in over 90% of tumour tissues and immortalized cells and is tightly regulated in most normal somatic cells.

The role of the cell attachment in the regulation of telomerase during keratinocyte differentiation [PDF]
, 2010 PhDThe catalytic subunit of telomerase TERT has non-canonical functions, which are independent of telomere elongation and sometimes telomerase activity.

Early differential responses elicited by BRAFV600E in adult mouse models
Cell Death and Disease, 2022 The BRAF gene is frequently mutated in cancer. The most common genetic mutation is a single nucleotide transition which gives rise to a constitutively active BRAF kinase (BRAFV600E) which in turn sustains continuous cell proliferation.

ACS Chemical Biology, 2007 The control of telomerase activity at chromosome ends by telomere-binding proteins is critical for telomere length homeostasis. Two recent papers identify TPP1 as a critical mediator of this control. TPP1 forms part of the telomeric shelterin complex while also associating with telomerase, stimulating its activity and processivity.

Nucleic Acids Research, 2007 Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein enzyme that extends DNA at the chromosome ends in most eukaryotes. Since 1985, telomerase has been studied intensively and components of the telomerase complex have been identified from over 160 eukaryotic species. In the last two decades, there has been a growing interest in studying telomerase owing to its vital role

Molecular Oncology, 2021 Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) maintains telomere homeostasis, thus ensuring chromosome stability and cell proliferation. In addition, several telomere‐independent functions of human TERT have been described.

Cost-Effective Trap qPCR Approach to Evaluate Telomerase Activity: an Important Tool for Aging, Cancer, and Chronic Disease Research [PDF]
Clinics, 2021 OBJECTIVES: Telomeres are a terminal “DNA cap” that prevent chromosomal fusion and degradation. However, aging is inherent to life, and so is the loss of terminal sequences.

The mTOR pathway is necessary for survival of mice with short telomeres
Nature Communications, 2020 Telomerase deficiency leads to age-related diseases and shortened lifespan, while inhibition of the mTOR pathway delays aging. Here, the authors show that inhibition of mTORC1 signaling shortens the lifespan of telomerase deficient mice.
