To study the telomerase activity change in patients with CML different phases, telomerase PCR-ELISA method was used. Results showed that telomerase activity of normal bone marrow cells was low. The telomerase activity in CML at any phase was higher than that in normal bone marrow (P < 0.05). The telomerase activity in accelerated and acute transformation phases was higher than that in chronic phase (P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference between accelerated phase and acute transformation phase. It was concluded that telomerase activity could be used as an useful marker for evaluating development of course and curative effect of CML.

Preclinical models of age-related osteoporosis have been developed based on the accumulation and clearance of senescent cells. The former include animal models based on telomere dysfunction and focal radiation; the latter based on genetic and pharmacological targeting (i.e.

Background: Secreted frizzled-related protein 1 (SFRP1) inhibits Wnt signaling and is differentially expressed in human hair dermal papilla cells (DPCs). However, the specific effect of SFRP1 on cell function remains unclear. Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) representing telomerase activity was found highly active around the hair dermal papilla.

Apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) sites are endogenous DNA lesions widespread in human cells. Having no nucleobases, they are noncoding and promutagenic. AP site repair is generally initiated through strand incision by AP endonuclease 1 (APE1).

Many cancers have displayed resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs over the past few decades. EGFR has emerged as a leading target for cancer therapy inhibiting tumor angiogenesis. Besides, studies strongly suggest that blocking telomerase activity could be an effective way to control the growth of certain cancer cells.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), half of which are lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), is one of the most widely spread cancers in the world. Telomerase, which maintains telomere length and chromosomal integrity, enables cancer cells to avoid replicative senescence. When telomerase is inhibited, cancer cells' senescence began, preventing them from growing indefinitely.
