Lysophosphatidic acid activates telomerase in ovarian cancer cells through hypoxia‐inducible factor‐1α and the PI3K pathway
18 Sept 2008
Abstract excerpt
Telomerase is reactivated in over 90% of tumors and plays critical roles in tumor progression. The mechanisms by which telomerase is up-regulated in cancer cells are poorly understood. Here we showed that a bioactive lipid, lysophophatidic acid (LPA), up-regulated the expression of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) and telomerase activity in serous ovarian adenocarcinoma cell lines SKOV3, A2780, and...
