Evidence for a Relief of Repression Mechanism for Activation of the Human Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase Promoter
1 May 2003
Abstract excerpt
The transcriptional activation of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) is an important step during cellular immortalization and tumorigenesis. To study how this activation occurs during immortalization, we have established a set of genetically related pre-crisis cells and their immortal progeny. As expected, hTERT mRNA was detected in our telomerase-positive immortal cells but not in pre-crisis cells or...
