Multiple Tumor Suppressor Pathways Negatively Regulate Telomerase
Telomerase expression is repressed in most somatic cells but is observed in stem cells and a high percentage of human cancers and has been hypothesized to contribute to tumorigenesis and maintenance of stem cell states. To explore telomerase regulation, we employed a general genetic screen to identify negative regulators of hTERT. We discovered three tumor suppressor/oncogene pathways involved ...
متن کاملMultiple Tumor Suppressor microRNAs Regulate Telomerase and TCF7, an Important Transcriptional Regulator of the Wnt Pathway
The human TERT (hTERT) gene encodes the telomerase catalytic subunit which plays a role in telomerase regulation. Telomerase is activated in more than 90% of all human malignancies and understanding how telomerase is regulated is necessary for implementation of successful anti-cancer therapies. microRNAs (miRNAs) are important regulators of gene expression in eukaryotic cells but evidence of th...
متن کاملSMN and coilin negatively regulate dyskerin association with telomerase RNA
Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein comprising telomerase RNA and associated proteins. The formation of the telomerase holoenzyme takes place in the Cajal body (CB), a subnuclear domain that participates in the formation of ribonucleoproteins. CBs also contribute to the delivery of telomerase to telomeres. The protein WRAP53 is enriched within the CB and is instrumental for the targeting of telom...
متن کاملMultiple pathways regulate shoot branching
Shoot branching patterns result from the spatio-temporal regulation of axillary bud outgrowth. Numerous endogenous, developmental and environmental factors are integrated at the bud and plant levels to determine numbers of growing shoots. Multiple pathways that converge to common integrators are most probably involved. We propose several pathways involving not only the classical hormones auxin,...
متن کاملDormant tumor-suppressor pathways in tumors.
It was initially thought that activation of a single oncogene such as Ras would result in tumorigenesis; however, this conclusion was based on studies in which immortalized cells were used as the target cells in transformation assays (1). Thus it was significant when in 1983 Newbold and Overell reported that an activated Ras gene failed to transform normal fibroblasts unless the fibroblasts wer...
