Induction of hTERT Expression and Telomerase Activity by Estrogens in Human Ovary Epithelium Cells
1 Jun 2000
Abstract excerpt
In mammals, molecular mechanisms and factors involved in the tight regulation of telomerase expression and activity are still largely undefined. In this study, we provide evidence for a role of estrogens and their receptors in the transcriptional regulation of hTERT, the catalytic subunit of human telomerase and, consequently, in the activation of the enzyme. Through a computer analysis of the hTERT 5'-flanking...
