Antagonistic effects of telomerase on cancer and aging in K5-mTert transgenic mice
Abstract
Many degenerative diseases that occur with aging, as well as premature aging syndromes, are characterized by presenting cells with critically short telomeres. Telomerase reintroduction is envisioned as a putative therapy for diseases characterized by telomere exhaustion. K5-mTert transgenic mice overexpress telomerase in a wide spectrum of tissues. These mice have a higher incidence of both induced and spontaneous tumors, resulting in increased mortality during the first year of life. Here, we show that in spite of this elevated tumor incidence and the initial lower survival, K5-mTert mice show an extension of the maximum lifespan from 1.5 to 3 months, depending on the transgenic line, which represents up to a 10% increase in the mean lifespan compared to wild-type littermates. This longer lifespan is coincidental with a lower incidence of certain age-related degenerative diseases, mainly those related to kidney function and germline integrity. Importantly, these effects of telomerase overexpression cannot be attributed to dramatic differences in telomere length in aged K5-Tert mice compared to wild-type mice, as shown by quantitative telomeric FISH. These findings indicate that telomerase overexpression extends the maximum lifespan of mice.

Tert transgenic mice with increased telomerase showed improved tissue regeneration and a slight increase in maximum lifespan despite increased cancer mortality.
“In spite of their increased mortality due to cancer, these transgenic mice did show evidence of improved tissue regeneration as well as a slight increase in maximum life span 68 .”

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.
