Caspase-8 Gene Therapy Using the Human Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase Promoter for Malignant Glioma Cells
10 Jun 2002
Abstract excerpt
Telomerase is a distinctive candidate for targeted gene therapy of malignant gliomas, because the vast majority of malignant gliomas express telomerase activity while normal brain tissues do not. Recently, we developed a telomerase-specific expression system of caspase-8 gene using the promoter of the human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) gene. However, the transcriptional activity of hTERT-181 promoter...
