Telomerase abrogation dramatically accelerates TRF2-induced epithelial carcinogenesis
Open accessAbstract
TRF2 is a telomere-binding protein with roles in telomere protection and telomere-length regulation. The fact that TRF2 is up-regulated in some human tumors suggests a role of TRF2 in cancer. Mice that overexpress TRF2 in the skin, K5TRF2 mice, show critically short telomeres and are susceptible to UV-induced carcinogenesis as a result of deregulated XPF/ERCC1 activity, a nuclease involved in UV damage repair. Here we demonstrate that, when in combination with telomerase deficiency, TRF2 acts as a very potent oncogene in vivo. In particular, we show that telomerase deficiency dramatically accelerates TRF2-induced epithelial carcinogenesis in K5TRF2/Terc−/− mice, coinciding with increased chromosomal instability and DNA damage. Telomere recombination is also increased in these mice, suggesting that TRF2 favors the activation of alternative telomere maintenance mechanisms. Together, these results demonstrate that TRF2 increased expression is a potent oncogenic event that along with telomerase deficiency accelerates carcinogenesis, coincidental with a derepression of telomere recombination. These results are of particular relevance given that TRF2 is up-regulated in some human cancers. Furthermore, these data suggest that telomerase inhibition might not be effective to cease the growth of TRF2-overexpressing tumors.

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.
