Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A highly sensitive assay for measuring telomerase activity was developed in this paper, which showed that telomerases appear to be stringently repressed in normal human somatic tissues but reactivated in cancer, where immortal cells are likely required to maintain tumor growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extension of life-span by introduction of telomerase into normal human cells
Andrea G. Bodnar,Michel M. Ouellette,Maria Frolkis,Shawn E. Holt,Choy-Pik Chiu,Gregg B. Morin,Calvin B. Harley,Jerry W. Shay,Serge Lichtsteiner,Woodring E. Wright +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, two telomerase-negative normal human cell types, retinal pigment epithelial cells and foreskin fibroblasts, were transfected with vectors encoding the human telomere catalytic subunit.
Journal ArticleDOI
A survey of telomerase activity in human cancer
Jerry W. Shay,Silvia Bacchetti +1 more
TL;DR: All major types of cancer have been screened and the presence of telomerase activity has been detected in the vast majority of cases, and a summary, in table form, of the current data is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
BRAFE600-associated senescence-like cell cycle arrest of human naevi
Chrysiis Michaloglou,Liesbeth C.W. Vredeveld,Maria S. Soengas,Christophe Denoyelle,Thomas Kuilman,Chantal M.A.M. van der Horst,Donne Majoor,Jerry W. Shay,Wolter J. Mooi,Daniel S. Peeper +9 more
TL;DR: It is shown that sustained BRAFV600E expression in human melanocytes induces cell cycle arrest, which is accompanied by the induction of both p16INK4a and senescence-associated acidic β-galactosidase (SA-β-Gal) activity, a commonly usedsenescence marker.
Journal ArticleDOI
Telomerase activity in human germline and embryonic tissues and cells
TL;DR: Elucidation of the regulatory pathways involved in the repression of telomerase activity during development may lead to the ability to manipulate telomere levels and explore the consequences both for cellular aging and for the survival of cancer cells.
