Hypermethylation of the hTERT promoter inhibits the expression of telomerase activity in normal oral fibroblasts and senescent normal oral keratinocytes
1 Oct 2003
Abstract excerpt
Telomerase activity in human cells closely correlates with the expression of its catalytic subunit, telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT). Previously, we reported the lack of telomerase activity in normal human oral fibroblasts (NHOF) and the diminution of telomerase activity during senescence in normal human oral keratinocytes (NHOK). To investigate the underlying mechanisms of telomerase regulation in both...
