Abstract excerpt
Telomerase is induced in certain pathological conditions such as cancer and tissue injury and repair. This induction in fibroblasts from injured lung is repressed by transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta) via yet unknown mechanisms. In this study, the role of Smad3 in the inhibition of telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) gene transcription by TGFbeta was investigated. The rat TERT (rTERT) gene promoter was...
