hTERT promoter activity and CpG methylation in HPV-induced carcinogenesis
9 Jun 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Activation of telomerase resulting from deregulated hTERT expression is a key event during high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV)-induced cervical carcinogenesis. In the present study we examined hTERT promoter activity and its relation to DNA methylation as one of the potential mechanisms underlying deregulated hTERT transcription in hrHPV-transformed cells. METHODS: Using luciferase reporter assays...
