Multiple single clones formed and were checked for their phenotype. In the study of the effect on telomerase activity of LPTS-Lin vitro, GST-LPTS-L fusion protein was expressed in E.coli and purified by glutathioneagarose column. Telomeric repeat amplification protocol (TRAP) assays were performed to study the influence of telomerase activity in SMMC-7721 cells.RESULTS: Over-expression of LPTS-L induced SMMC-7721 cells into crisis. LPTS-L could inhibit the telomerase activity in SMMC-7721 cellsin vitro.CONCLUSION: LPTS-L is a potent telomeraseinhibitor. Over-expression of LPTS-L can induce hepatoma cells into crisis due to the reduction of telomerase activity.展开更多
