Expression of telomeric repeat binding factor 1 and 2 and TRF1-interacting nuclear protein 2 in human gastric carcinomas

Abstract excerpt

Telomeric repeat binding factor 1 (TRF1) and 2 (TRF2) may play key roles in the maintenance of telomere function. TRF1 negatively regulates telomere elongation, while TRF2 protects the chromosome ends by inhibiting end-to-end fusions. We examined the expression of TRF1 and TRF2 in 20 gastric carcinomas by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and then analyzed the relation with telomerase activity and...
