Transforming Growth Factor β Suppresses Human Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase (hTERT) by Smad3 Interactions with c-Myc and the hTERT Gene
20 Jun 2006
Abstract excerpt
Telomerase underpins stem cell renewal and proliferation and is required for most neoplasia. Recent studies suggest that hormones and growth factors play physiological roles in regulating telomerase activity. In this report we show a rapid repression of the telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) gene by transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) in normal and neoplastic cells by a mechanism depending on the...
