Cell-based chemical fingerprinting identifies telomeres and lamin A as modifiers of DNA damage response in cancer cells

Abstract Telomere maintenance by telomerase activity supports the infinite growth of cancer cells. MST-312, a synthetic telomerase inhibitor, gradually shortens telomeres at non-acute lethal doses and eventually induces senescence and apoptosis of telomerase-positive cancer cells. Here we report tha...
