Research on both cancer and aging has focused attention on the regulation of telomerase, the enzyme that synthesizes the ends of chromosomal DNA. To analyze the relative importance of genetic vs. environmental factors in determining telomerase inducibility, we have compared telomerase activity in ph

The human telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) gene is transcriptionally inactivated in most differentiated cells but is reactivated in the majority of cancer cells. To elucidate how TERT is inactivated during differentiation, we applied all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) to induce the differentiatio
NT cells to measure simultaneously the promoter activities as well as transfection efficiency. The promoter activities and transfection efficiency were successfully determined by measuring the activities of P. pyralis and R. reniformis luciferases, respectively, using the dual-luciferase reporter as
