Gossypol suppresses telomerase activity in human leukemia cells via regulating hTERT
5 Sept 2008
Abstract excerpt
Gossypol is a polyphenolic compound originally isolated from cottonseed that has long been used successfully as a contraceptive drug for males. However, the molecular mechanism of anti-telomerase effects of gossypol is not entirely understood. In this study, we observed direct cytotoxicity and inhibition of telomerase activity with downregulation of telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) expression. Gossypol...
