DNA methylation is an epigenetic process involved in embryonic development, differentiation and aging. It is 1 of the mechanisms resulting in gene silencing in carcinogenesis, especially in tumor suppressor genes (e.g., p16, Rb). Telomerase, the DNA polymerase adding TTAGGG repeats to the chromosome

The human telomerase enzyme is composed of two essential components, hTR, which acts as a template for reverse transcription, and hTERT, which is the putative catalytic subunit for the enzyme. Recent studies have demonstrated a good correlation between hTERT expression and telomerase activation, whe

Telomerase activity has been found in a variety of malignant tumors but only rarely in benign tumors or normal tissues. In this study, we investigated telomerase activation in 37 ovarian tumors, including benign, borderline and malignant neoplasms. Telomerase activity was detected using the telomeri

## BACKGROUND. Telomerase activation is thought to be crucial for the continued growth or progression of cancer cells. Three major subunits of human telomerase, human telomerase RNA (hTR), telomerase-associated protein (TP1), and human telomerase catalytic subunit (hTERT) have been identified rece

Using the TRAP assay, telomerase activity was previously detected in over 90% of human pleural mesotheliomas (MMs), but not in mesothelial cell cultures (MCCs), suggesting that telomerase re-activation occurs during multi-step mesothelioma carcinogenesis. The present study determined the expression
