Cancer-associated <i>SMARCAL1</i> loss-of-function mutations promote alternative lengthening of telomeres and tumorigenesis in telomerase-negative glioblastoma cells
2022-09-19
Abstract excerpt
Telomere maintenance mechanisms are a hallmark of cancer and are required to enable the replicative immortality of malignant cells. While most cancers activate the enzyme telomerase for telomere maintenance, a subset of cancers (~10-15%) use telomerase-independent mechanisms termed alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT). ALT is characterized by elevated replication stress at telomeres, telomere synthesis via h...
