Pharmacological inhibition of DNA repair enzymes differentially modulates telomerase activity and apoptosis in two human leukaemia cell lines
1 Aug 2004
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of wortmannin and 3-aminobenzamide (3-AB) on telomerase activity and apoptosis in two human leukaemia cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS: MOLT-4 (p53-wild type) and KG1a (p53-null) cells were irradiated with gamma-rays (3 Gy at 1.57 Gy min(-1)) and the effects of wortmannin and 3-AB were evaluated. Telomerase activity was measured by polymerase chain reaction and the expression of...
