Elevated human telomerase reverse transcriptase gene expression in blood cells associated with chronic arsenic exposure [1]

Arsenic exposure is associated with human cancer. Telomerase-containing human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) can extend telomeres of chromosomes, delay senescence, and promote cell proliferation leading to tumorigenesis. The goal of this study was to investigate the effects of As on hTERT mRNA expression in humans and in vitro.
