Epigenetic regulation of the human telomerase reverse transciptase gene: A potential therapeutic target for the treatment of leukemia (Review)
29 May 2013
Abstract excerpt
Telomerase activation is a critical step in human carcinogenesis through the maintenance of telomeres. Telomerase activity is primarily regulated by the human telomerase reverse transcriptase gene (hTERT), thus, an improved understanding of the transcriptional control of hTERT may provide potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of leukemia and other forms of cancer. Epigenetic modulation, a significant...
