Extended replicative lifespan of primary resting T cells by CRISPR/dCas9-based epigenetic modifiers and transcriptional activators
17 Sept 2024
Abstract excerpt
Extension of the replicative lifespan of primary cells can be achieved by activating human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) to maintain sufficient telomere lengths. In this work, we utilize CRISPR/dCas9-based epigenetic modifiers (p300 histone acetyltransferase and TET1 DNA demethylase) and transcriptional activators (VPH and VPR) to reactivate the endogenous TERT gene in unstimulated T cells in the...
