PHF10 Is Required for Cell Proliferation in Normal and SV40-Immortalized Human Fibroblast Cells
1 Jan 2009
Abstract excerpt
Normal human diploid fibroblasts have limited life span in culture and undergo replicative senescence after 50-60 population doublings. On the contrary, cancer cells typically divide indefinitely and are immortal. Expression of SV40 large T and small t antigens in human fibroblasts transiently extends their life span by 20-30 population doublings and facilitates immortalization. We have identified a rearrangement...
