Telomere Lengths, Pulmonary Fibrosis and Telomerase (TERT) Mutations

TL;DR: A subset of pulmonary fibrosis, like dyskeratosis congenita, bone marrow failure, and liver disease, represents a “telomeropathy” caused by germline mutations in telomerase and characterized by short telomere lengths, demonstrating epigenetic inheritance of a shortened parental telomeres length set-point.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of telomere length on survival in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: An observational cohort study with independent validation

TL;DR: The association between telomere length and survival in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis was independent of age, sex, forced vital capacity, or diffusing capacity of carbon monoxide, and was replicated in the two independent idiopATHic pulmonary Fibrosis replication cohorts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pulmonary prostacyclin synthase overexpression chemoprevents tobacco smoke lung carcinogenesis in mice

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that manipulation of prostaglandin production distal to cyclooxygenase significantly reduces lung carcinogenesis in a tobacco smoke exposure model, and gene expression studies show critical alterations in antioxidation, immune response, and cytokine pathways.
