General description

TRF2 is a ubiquitously expressed protein that is implicated in the control of telomere length. TRF2, like TRF1, contains a Myb-related DNA binding motif. It binds to duplex TTAGGG repeats and is localised to all human telomeres in metaphase chromosomes. TRF2 is thought to protect chromosome ends by maintaining the correct structure at telomere termini. The use of mutant forms of TRF2 has implicated a role for TRF2 in the prevention of senescence in primary human cells. Recently, it has been shown that inhibition of TRF2 resulted in apoptosis in a subset of mammalian cell types. TRF2 is overexpressed in a number of human tumors and overexpression of TRF2 has been shown to be oncogenic in a mouse model of carcinogenesis.

Specificity

We and others have reported that IFN-alpha potentiates the apoptotic effects of TNF through a mechanism that is not understood. Because the nuclear transcription factors NF-kappaB and AP-1 have recently been reported to mediate anti-apoptosis and cell survival, we hypothesized

Among the numerous genetic defects associated with hepatocarcinogenesis, telomere abnormalities appear to play a role both in tumor promotion and maintenance. Telomeres, the chromosome extremities, are protected by specific proteins, the shelterin complex and by additional factors. Besides telomerase dysregulation

Telomeres are major regulators of genome stability and cell proliferation. A detailed understanding of the mechanisms involved in their maintenance is of foremost importance. Of those, telomere chromatin remodeling is probably the least studied; thus, we intended to explore the
