Real-time quantification of human telomerase reverse transcriptase mRNA in tumors and healthy tissues.
BACKGROUND Expression of the hTERT gene, which codes for the catalytic subunit of telomerase, is associated with malignancy. We recently developed a real-time reverse transcription-PCR assay, based on TaqMan technology, for accurate and reproducible determination of hTERT mRNA expression (Lab Investig 1999;79:911-2). This method may be of interest for molecular tumor diagnostics in tissues and ...
متن کاملReal-time PCR quantification of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) in colorectal cancer.
AIMS Human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) is believed to a reliable marker for telomerase activity. The expression of telomerase activity has not been investigated in a consecutive series of patients with colorectal adenocarcinoma in North Queensland. The objective of this study was to evaluate the significance of hTERT mRNA expression in colorectal adenocarcinoma in North Queensland....
متن کاملQuantification of CCR5 mRNA in human lymphocytes and macrophages by real-time reverse transcriptase PCR assay.
CCR5, a beta-chemokine receptor, plays an important role in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection of human immune cells, as it is a primary coreceptor for HIV entry into macrophages. We have applied a newly developed real-time reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) assay for the quantification of CCR5 mRNA in human blood immune cells. The CCR5 real-time RT-PCR assay has a sensitivity of 100 ...
متن کاملCorrelation with Grade, Histology, and Proliferative Activity Transcriptase mRNA Expression in Soft Tissue Tumors : Telomerase Activity and Human Telomerase Reverse
Telomerase activity (TA) is detected in most human cancers but, with few exceptions, not in normal somatic cells. Little is known about TA in soft tissue tumors. We have examined a series of benign and malignant soft tissue tumors for TA using the telomerase repeat amplification protocol assay. Analysis of the expression of the human telomerase reverse transcriptase was also carried out using R...
