It has been suggested that atypical adenomatous hyperplasia (AAH) may be a precursor of peripheral adenocarcinoma of the lung. Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein enzyme that synthesizes telomeric DNA onto chromosomal ends. Its activity is thought to participate in the development of most human cancers. Telomere-specific DNA-binding proteins, such as telomeric repeat binding factor 1 and telomeric repeat binding factor 2, also control telomere length in a complex interplay with telomerase. Here we investigated the expressions of the mRNAs encoded by the TERF1 and TERF2 genes using in situ hybridization in surgically resected specimens [28 AAHs (11 lesions were interpreted as low-grade AAH, and 17 were interpreted as high-grade AAH) and 40 peripherally located bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC).
