Telomerase activation is believed to play a critical role in the immortalization of cells and carcinogenesis. Telomerase activity is undetectable in normal somatic cells (except for those cells undergoing proliferation) but is expressed in the majority of human tumors including lung carcinoma. The expression of hTERT mRNA has been found to be correlated with telomerase activity. In the current study, the authors analyzed telomerase activity and hTERT mRNA expression in preinvasive bronchial lesions using biopsy specimens obtained by fluorescence bronchoscopy.
