hTERT promotes the invasion of telomerase-negative tumor cells in vitro

Abstract excerpt

Telomerase activation is a common feature of most types of human cancers. Although several studies have shown that activation of telomerase might participate in the progression of tumors, the mechanism by which telomerase activation causes the invasion and metastasis of tumors remains unclear. In this study, we transfected a vector containing the full-length cDNA of hTERT into a telomerase-negative osteosarcoma...
