telomerase activity and expression level of hTERT. In the present study, we find out the effect of sodium selenite and selenium l methionine and cadmium chloride on telomerase activity in adenocarcinoma cancer cell line (AGS). Methods: The adenoma carcinoma gastric cancer cells (AGS) were cultured in RPMI1640 supplemented with 10 % fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 1% pen/strep. Concentrations of cadmium chloride, selenium l methionine and sodium selenite were added the adenocarcinoma gastric cancer cells (AGS). Finally, the telomerase activity was measured by telomeric repeat amplification protocol (TRAP) and qRT-TRAP assays. Results: Average telomerase activity (as threshold cycle (CT)) has been detected for three concentrations (5lM and 10lM and 20 lM) of the noted compounds. The results were 24.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
