The simultaneous effect of valproic acid and gamma radiation on telomerase activity and bax and Bcl-2 protein levels in MCF-7 breast cancer cell line [PDF]
Background: Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent types of cancer. Factors such as ionizing radiation and chemotherapeutic agents can trigger apoptosis and cancer cell death.

The telomerase essential N-terminal domain promotes DNA synthesis by stabilizing short RNA-DNA hybrids. [PDF]
Telomerase is an enzyme that adds repetitive DNA sequences to the ends of chromosomes and consists of two main subunits: the telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) protein and an associated telomerase RNA (TER). The telomerase essential N-terminal (TEN)

Cancer-associated TERT promoter mutations abrogate telomerase silencing. [PDF]
Mutations in the human telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) promoter are the most frequent non-coding mutations in cancer, but their molecular mechanism in tumorigenesis has not been established.

Telomere shortening has been linked to some aspects of organismal ageing. Here the authors create chimaeric mice that contain a mix of cells with normal or unnaturally long telomeres, and show chimaeric mice are protected from some forms of ageing ...

Sox4 Links Tumor Suppression to Accelerated Aging in Mice by Modulating Stem Cell Activation
Sox4 expression is restricted in mammals to embryonic structures and some adult tissues, such as lymphoid organs, pancreas, intestine, and skin. During embryogenesis, Sox4 regulates mesenchymal and neural progenitor survival, as well as lymphocyte and ...

Biomarkers of aging associated with past treatments in breast cancer survivors. [PDF]
Radiation and chemotherapy are effective treatments for cancer, but are also toxic to healthy cells. Little is known about whether prior exposure to these treatments is related to markers of cellular aging years later in breast cancer survivors.

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 ...

AZT exerts its antitumoral effect by telomeric and non-telomeric effects in a mammary adenocarcinoma model [PDF]
Limitless replicative potential is one of the hallmarks of cancer that is mainly due to the activity of telomerase. This holoenzyme maintains telomere length, adding TTAGGG repetitions at the end of chromosomes in each cell division.
