Using the SB transposon system in vitro hTERT gene overexpression has protective effects from acute cellular injury by tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BH), carbon tetrachloride (CCl (4)), and d-galactosamine (d-GalN) in normal human cells IMR-90. pT3.hTERT.Con vector and helper plasmid co-transfection resulted in a approximately 3-fold increase in telomerase activity which was maintained for 14 days.

To prevent critical telomere shortening in hepatocytes, we have focused on oestrogen dependent transactivation of the human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) gene as a form of telomerase therapy in chronic liver disease.

Here, in a hepatocellular carcinoma-prone model brought about through toxin-induced hepatocyte injury and regeneration, we sought to determine the cooperative interactions of germ line p53 mutation and telomere dysfunction [produced by telomerase reverse transcriptase (mTERT) gene knockout].

First-passage HSCs were randomly divided into 10 groups, and different concentrations of beta-Est, 2-hydroxyestradiol (2OHE) or 2-methoxyestradiol (2MeOE) were separately added to the cell groups.
