Efficient Inhibition of Human Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase Expression by RNA Interference Sensitizes Cancer Cells to Ionizing Radiation and Chemotherapy
1 Jul 2005
Abstract excerpt
Telomerase activation plays critical roles in tumor growth and progression in part through the maintenance of telomere structure. Indeed, the ubiquitous expression of telomerase in human cancers makes telomerase a promising target for cancer therapy. Genetic, pharmacologic, and antisense methods to inhibit telomerase have been described; however, in most cases, cancer cell death was observed only after many cell...
