A combination of telomerase inhibition and NK cell therapy increased breast cancer cell line apoptosis

44 views | Feb 03 2023

Inhibiting telomerase with BIBR1532 increased the cytotoxicity of natural killer cells against breast cancer and synergistically enhanced cell death by suppressing hTERT and upregulating apoptotic-related genes, making breast cancer cells more sensitive to NK cell therapy and potentially useful in the treatment of breast cancer.

Kras mutations increase telomerase activity and targeting telomerase is a promising therapeutic strategy for Kras-mutant NSCLC

811 views | Mar 01 2018

Liu W et al. suggested that Kras mutations increase telomerase activity and telomere length by activating the RAS/MEK pathway, which contributes to an aggressive phenotype of NSCLC. Kras mutations-induced lung tumorigenesis and chemoresistance are attenuated by telomerase inhibition. Targeting telomerase/telomere may be a promising therapeutic strategy for patients with Kras-mutant NSCLC. [Read the Full Post]
