Abstract excerpt
The p53 tumor suppressor controls cell growth and survival through transcriptional regulation of gene expression. Previously, we found that the human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) gene is downregulated by p53. To investigate if hTERT downregulation has a role in p53-dependent apoptosis, we tested if constitutive expression of telomerase could inhibit p53-induced apoptosis. Here we show that...
