Tumor necrosis factor-α inhibits hTERT gene expression in human myeloid normal and leukemic cells
15 Jul 2005
Abstract excerpt
Telomerase catalytic subunit (hTERT) has been shown to play a critical role not only in telomere homeostasis but also in cellular survival, DNA repair, and genetic stability. In a previous study, we described that tumor necrosis factor-xalpha (TNFxalpha) induced in the leukemic KG1 cells a senescence state characterized by decreased hTERT activity followed by prolonged growth arrest, increasedx beta-galactosidase...
