Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein that synthesizes telomeric DNA on chromosomal ends. While telomerase is undetectable in most normal somatic tissues, telomerase activation has been detected by a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based assay (TRAP) in many immortal cell lines and various cancers, incl

## BACKGROUND. Apoptosis-regulating genes have been shown to be important in the biology of prostate cancer. The aim of this study was to examine and correlate the expression of the apoptosis-regulating genes bcl-2, bax, and p53 with the frequency of apoptosis and rate of proliferation in benign p
The binding of native and reactive oxygen species-modified DNA (ROS-DNA) to circulating antibodies in the serum of patients with various types of cancer has been investigated by competition enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Fifteen sera of 35 showed reactivity with native and/or ROS-DNA. Eleven of
NIH/3T3 mouse embryo fibroblasts were transfected with the cDNA for manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD). Previous studies showed characteristic unique AE profiles in nonsynchronous populations of parental, control plasmidtransfected, and MnSOD-overexpressing NIH/3T3 cell lines. However, the prese
A disturbed embryonic antioxidant defense mechanism may play a major role in diabetesinduced teratogenesis. We therefore studied the antioxidant capacity of 10.5-day-old rat embryos and their yolk sacs after culture for 28 hr in vitro under diabetic conditions (3 mg/ml glucose, 2 mg/ml β€-hydroxybuty
