Deactivation of Telomerase Enzyme and Telomere Destabilization by Natural Products: a Potential Target for Cancer Green Therapy.
Telomeres are the structures that protect eukaryotic chromosomes in the cells. Telomeres are necessary components that stabilize the ends of eukaryotic chromosome and avoid the loss of genetic information (Parkinson, 2003). Meanwhile, telomerase is a reverse transcriptase that adds nucleotide repeats to telomeres by using RNA template providing karyotype stability and compensating for the loss ...
متن کاملTelomerase Inhibitors from Natural Products and Their Anticancer Potential
Telomeres and telomerase are nowadays exploring traits on targets for anticancer therapy. Telomerase is a unique reverse transcriptase enzyme, considered as a primary factor in almost all cancer cells, which is mainly responsible to regulate the telomere length. Hence, telomerase ensures the indefinite cell proliferation during malignancy-a hallmark of cancer-and this distinctive feature has pr...
متن کاملThe Canonical Wnt Signaling (Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway): A Potential Target for Cancer Prevention and Therapy
Precise regulation of signal transduction pathways is crucial for normal animal development and for maintaining cellular and tissue homeostasis in adults. The Wnt/Frizzled-mediated signaling includes canonical and non-canonical signal transduction pathways. Upregulation or downregulation of the canonical Wnt-signaling (or the Wnt/β-Catenin signal transduction) leads to a variety of human diseas...
متن کاملBeyond Telomerase: Telomere Instability as a Novel Target for Cancer Therapy
Telomeres are areas of heterochromatin composed of TTAGGG repeats located at the ends of linear chromosomes. They play a critical role in keeping genome stable and preventing premature aging diseases and the development of cancer. Characterizing mechanisms of telomere maintenance and understanding how their deregulation contributes to human diseases are therefore important for developing novel ...
متن کاملRegulation of telomere length and homeostasis by telomerase enzyme processivity.
Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein consisting of a catalytic subunit, the telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT), and an integrally associated RNA that contains a template for the synthesis of short repetitive G-rich DNA sequences at the ends of telomeres. Telomerase can repetitively reverse transcribe its short RNA template, acting processively to add multiple telomeric repeats onto the same D...
