| Research Abstract |
In this study, we investigated the antitumor effects of telomerase inhibitor TMPyP4 in osteosarcoma cell lines. Both telomerase activity loss and sufficient telomere shortening are necessary to inhibit cell growth in telomerase positive cells. TMPyP4 did not induce telomere shortening but significantly inhibited the growth in extremely longer telomere-cells, indicating the antitumor effect of TMPyP4 may be related to DNA damage, independent on telomere length. Our results may indicate telomerase inhibitors such asTMPyP4 are novel adjuvant therapy for osteosarcoma patients in the near future.
