Dual regulation of telomerase activity through c-Myc-dependent inhibition and alternative splicing of hTERT
15 Mar 2002
Abstract excerpt
Telomerase is believed to be induced upon proliferation and inhibited when cells differentiate. Thus, regulation of telomerase activity could be an important mechanism to limit growth of normal and cancer cells. Using transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta1), which is known to control proliferation in epithelial cells, we now demonstrate that in the human HaCaT skin keratinocytes, TGF-beta1 downregulated...
