Coupling a DNA-Based Machine with Glucometer Readouts for Amplified Detection of Telomerase Activity in Cancer Cells
The strong correlation between cancer and telomerase activity has inspired the development of new strategies to evaluate telomerase activity. Here, a personal glucose meter (PGM) system that uses DNA-based machine amplification to detect telomerase in cancer cells is reported. In this assay, telomerase elongation products are amplified in the form of another type of product by a DNA-based machi...
متن کاملApplication of DNA machine in amplified DNA detection.
A DNA machine finds its application to construct an enzyme-free, label-free, cost-effective and novel approach for amplified DNA detection. The present approach is endowed with high sensitivity and selectivity. A detection limit as low as 0.2 nM was obtained by practical measurement.
متن کاملDNA-fueled molecular machine for label-free and non-enzymatic ultrasensitive detection of telomerase activity.
Herein, a non-enzymatic and label-free strategy based on DNA-fueled molecular machine was developed for ultrasensitive detection of telomerase activity in cancer cell extracts even at the single-cell level.
متن کاملDetection of Telomerase Activity in Breast Tissue of Breast Cancer Patients and Healthy Individuals by the TRAP Assay
Abstract Background and Objective: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. Telomerase enzyme is one of the major factors causing the development and proliferation of immortal cells such as cancer cell. The aim of this study was to evaluate telomerase activity in breast tissues of breast cancer patients and healthy people. Material and Methods: In this descriptive study, the sampl...
متن کاملDetection of telomerase activity in exfoliated cells in urine from patients with bladder cancer.
BACKGROUND Telomeres are specific structures located at the ends of chromosomes that help maintain chromosome stability. In most tissues, telomeres become shorter as cells divide, a phenomenon thought to be associated with limitations on normal cell proliferation. Almost all types of cancer cells, including bladder cancer cells, express the enzyme telomerase, which can maintain or extend telome...
