1 Repression of telomerase reverse transcriptase mRNA and hTERT promoter by gambogic acid in human gastric carcinoma cells. gambogic acid telomerase reverse transcriptase Homo sapiens
2 Both telomerase activity and hTERT mRNA expression were notably decreased in cells treated with GA. gambogic acid telomerase reverse transcriptase Homo sapiens
3 The activity of hTERT promoter and the expression of c-MYC were also remarkably decreased in GA-treated cells. gambogic acid telomerase reverse transcriptase Homo sapiens
4 CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated that GA treatment of human gastric carcinoma cell lines, MGC-803 and SGC-7901, significantly reduced the expression of c-MYC in a time- and concentration-dependent manner accompanied with the down-regulation of the hTERT transcription and the ultimate reduction in telomerase activity. gambogic acid telomerase reverse transcriptase Homo sapiens
