Abstract excerpt
Inactivation of p53 and activation of telomerase occur in the majority of human cancers, raising the possibility of a link between these two pathways. Overexpression of wild-type p53 down-regulates the enzymatic activity of telomerase in various cancer cell lines through transcriptional repression of its catalytic subunit, human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT). In this study, we re-evaluated the role of...
