Human BMSSCs lose telomerase activity in vitro, which leads to chromosomal instability and cellular senescence. We observed an inverse expression pattern between the osteogenic master regulatory gene, CBFA1, and the stem cell-associated gene, hTERT. We showed that Cbfa1 acts as a partial repressor of TERT, which may facilitate cellular differentiation.
