Telomerase is a cellular endogenous reverse transcriptase thought to play an important role in the maintenance of telomere length. We investigated the effects of 3'-azido-2',3'-dideoxyguanosine (AZddG) and carbocyclic oxetanocin G (C.OXT-G), of which the triphosphate derivatives AZddGTP and C.OXT-GTP show potent telomerase inhibition, on telomere length of human HL60 cells in culture. Although AZddG caused more significant telomere shortening than C.OXT-G, only a slight decrease of cell growth rate was observed.

D016615 Telomere A terminal section of a chromosome which has a specialized structure and which is involved in chromosomal replication and stability. Its length is believed to be a few hundred base pairs. Telomeres
D018922 HL-60 Cells A promyelocytic cell line derived from a patient with ACUTE PROMYELOCYTIC LEUKEMIA. HL-60 cells lack specific markers for LYMPHOID CELLS but express surface receptors for FC FRAGMENTS and COMPLEMENT SYSTEM PROTEINS. They also exhibit phagocytic activity and responsiveness to chemotactic stimuli.
