Evaluation of TERT mRNA alternative spliced variants in aortic endothelial cells of the rabbit, in the fatty streaks stage of atherosclerosis.

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: There are some lines of evidence about the role of telomeres in atherosclerotic plaque formation and development. Despite the role of telomerase in telomere elongation and protection, its role in atherosclerosis is not fully understood. The present study was designed to evaluate the importance of alternative splicing variants ofTERT (telomerase reverse transcriptase) in the atherosclerosis process....
