Background: Telomerase is activated in most cancer cells, and thus telomerase is an ideal target for cancer therapy. The human liver-associated candidate tumour suppressor LPTS/PinX1, is the only human protein reported to bind with the telomerase catalytic subunit telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) and inhibit telomerase activity. The C-terminal fragment of LPTS/PinX1 (LPTS/PinX1290-328) contains a telomerase inhibitory domain that is needed for inhibition of telomere elongation and induction of apoptosis.

Background: The role of Pin2 telomeric repeat factor 1-interacting telomerase inhibitor 1 (PinX1) in tumorigenesis and development has been extensively studied. As we previously demonstrated, PinX1 plays an important role in modulating epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), stemness, cell proliferation, and apoptosis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). However, the relationship between PinX1, autophagy, and cell function in NPC remains unclear.

Background: Recurrence and distant metastasis are still the main factors leading to treatment failure for malignant tumors including nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Therefore, elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying nasopharyngeal carcinoma metastasis is of great clinical significance for targeted gene therapy and prognostic evaluation. PinX1, a tumor suppressor gene, was previously demonstrated to be a powerful tool for targeting telomerase in order to resist malignant tumor proliferation and migration.

Pin2/TRF1‑binding protein X1 (PinX1) functioned as a potent inhibitor of telomerase, which was also widely considered to be a sufficient tumor suppressor. Previous studies have demonstrated that PinX1 expression was reduced in several types of cancer and was associated with poor overall survival. However, little is known regarding the role of PinX1 in colorectal cancer (CRC).
