Abstract

Normal human somatic cells in culture have a limited dividing potential. This is due to DNA end replication problem, whereby telomeres shorten with each subsequent cell division. When a critical telomere length is reached cells enter senescence. To overcome this problem, immortal HeLa cell line express telomerase, an enzyme that prevents telomere shortening. Although immortal, the existence of non-dividing cells that do not incorporate (3)H-thymidine over 24 h of growth has been well documented in this cell line. Using DiI labeling and high-speed cell sorting, we have separated and analyzed fractions of HeLa cells that divided vigorously as well as those that cease divisions over several days in culture. We also analyzed telomerase activity in separated fractions and surprisingly, found that the fraction of cells that divided 0-1 time over 6 days in culture have several times higher endogenous telomerase activity than the fastest dividing fraction. Additionally, the non-growing fraction regains an overall high labeling index and low SA-beta-Gal activity when subcultured again. This phenomenon should be considered if telomerase inhibition is to be used as an approach to cancer therapy. In this paper we also discuss possible molecular mechanisms that underlie the observed results.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
