Maintenance of telomeres regulates chromosomal stability and cellular mitosis through a checkpoint mechanism. Continuous cell proliferation requires telomerase to maintain chromosomal stability and to counteract the cellular mitotic clock. Importantly, nuclear expression of telomerase activity is required for elongation of telomere sequences. In this study, we show that tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) induces telomerase activity in the cytoplasm of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) at 60 min, followed by translocation of activated telomerase to the nucleus at 120 min. Conversely, the phosphoinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor wortmannin blocks TNFalpha-induced activation of telomerase, whereas the specific NF-kappaB translocation inhibitor SN-50 blocks TNFalpha-induced nuclear translocation of activated telomerase. These studies suggest that activation and nuclear translocation of telomerase are regulated by PI3K/Akt/NF-kappaB signaling pathways in PBL.

D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell
D011518 Proto-Oncogene Proteins Products of proto-oncogenes. Normally they do not have oncogenic or transforming properties, but are involved in the regulation or differentiation of cell growth.

D002467 Cell Nucleus Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell

D014409 Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha Serum glycoprotein produced by activated MACROPHAGES and other mammalian MONONUCLEAR LEUKOCYTES. It has necrotizing activity against tumor cell lines and increases ability to reject tumor transplants. Also known as TNF-alpha, it is only 30% homologous to TNF-beta (LYMPHOTOXIN), but they share TNF RECEPTORS.
