Switch telomerase to ALT mechanism by inducing telomeric DNA damages and dysfunction of ATRX and DAXX
31 Aug 2016
Abstract excerpt
Activation of telomerase or alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) is necessary for tumours to escape from dysfunctional telomere-mediated senescence. Anti-telomerase drugs might be effective in suppressing tumour growth in approximately 85-90% of telomerase-positive cancer cells. However, there are still chances for these cells to bypass drug treatment after switching to the ALT mechanism to maintain their...
