Telomerase and Pluripotency Factors Jointly Regulate Stemness in Pancreatic Cancer Stem Cells
23 Jun 2021
Abstract excerpt
To assess the role of telomerase activity and telomere length in pancreatic CSCs we used different CSC enrichment methods (CD133, ALDH, sphere formation) in primary patient-derived pancreatic cancer cells. We show that CSCs have higher telomerase activity and longer telomeres than bulk tumor cells. Inhibition of telomerase activity, using genetic knockdown or pharmacological inhibitor (BIBR1532), resulted in CSC...
