Caspase-Dependent Apoptosis Induced by Telomere Cleavage and TRF2 Loss
1 Jul 2000
Abstract excerpt
Chromosomal abnormalities involving telomeric associations (TAs) often precede replicative senescence and abnormal chromosome configurations. We report here that telomere cleavage following exposure to proapoptotic agents is an early event in apoptosis. Exposure of human and murine cancer cells to a variety of pro-apoptotic stimuli (staurosporine, thapsigargin, anti-Fas antibody, and cancer chemotherapeutic...
