Clinical performance of the urine‐based TERT promoter AbsoluteQ Digital PCR for non‐invasive detection of bladder cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
A urine‐based digital PCR assay targeting two hotspot TERT promoter variants detected bladder cancer with high sensitivity and no false positives in this case–control cohort. The streamlined AbsoluteQ workflow outperformed Sanger sequencing and supports non‐invasive molecular testing for bladder cancer detection.

Role of telomerase expression in interstitial lung diseases

The Egyptian Journal of Bronchology, 2019
Background Telomeres are hexameric nucleotide sequences. The biological role of telomeres is to prevent shortening of DNA to preserve integrity of the genome. Length of telomeres is determined by age, sex, and environmental exposures.

Chromosomal Instability Drives Glioblastoma Heterogeneity and Therapeutic Opportunities

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glioblastoma, the most aggressive and lethal form of brain cancer, is defined by profound genomic instability, with Chromosomal Instability (CIN) playing a central role in driving tumor progression, therapy resistance, and poor prognosis. CIN is characterized by numerical and structural alterations, is driven by mechanisms such as mitotic ...

Telomerase catalysis: A phylogenetically conserved reverse transcriptase [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1998
Replication of telomeres, the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes, is the responsibility of the enzyme telomerase. Since its discovery 13 years ago, research on this unusual DNA polymerase has revealed a series of surprises. The first of these was the realization that information within the enzyme itself determines the sequence of its product: a portion of ...

Telomerase promoter mutations in human immunodeficiency virus-related conjunctiva neoplasia

Journal of Translational Medicine, 2018
Background Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the conjunctiva is a common cancer in Africa mainly associated with solar ultraviolet (UV) exposure and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.

Zinc Exposure Causes Disulfidptosis to Induce Miscarriage by Up‐Regulating GATA1/METTL1/SLC7A11 Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Zn exposure up‐regulates GATA1, promoting GATA1‐mediated METTL1 and SLC7A11 transcription. It also enhances METTL1‐mediated m7G modification on SLC7A11 mRNA, increasing SLC7A11 mRNA stability. Ultimately, Zn exposure up‐regulates SLC7A11 at both transcriptional and post‐transcriptional levels, causing disulfidptosis. Knockdown of murine Slc7a11, Gata1,

Identification of novel genes involved in the commitment of endodermal cells to the thymic epithelial cell fate [PDF]

, 2006
The thymus provides the microenvironment for the maturation and selection of the majority of peripheral T cells. Endodermal cells of the ventral aspect of the third pharyngeal pouch (3rdpp) at 10.5 days of mouse gestation (E10.5) adopt a thymic ...

Control of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) by NOD2.

, 2023
We provide evidence here from overexpression-based gain-of-function studies in human cells (1, 2) which demonstrate control of the human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) by the NLR (nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor) family ...

Expression of Telomerase Activity, Human Telomerase RNA, and Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase in Gastric Adenocarcinomas [PDF]

Modern Pathology, 2003
Telomerase is an RNA-dependent DNA polymerase that synthesizes TTAGGG telomeric DNA onto chromosome ends to compensate for sequence loss during DNA replication. It has been detected in 85-90% of all primary human cancers, implicating that the telomerase seems to be reactivated in tumors and that such activity may play a role in the tumorigenic process.

Telomeres and Cancer

Life, 2021
Telomeres cap the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes and are indispensable chromatin structures for genome protection and replication. Telomere length maintenance has been attributed to several functional modulators, including telomerase, the shelterin ...
