Telomeres and Telomerase in Heart Ontogenesis, Aging and Regeneration

Abstract: The main purpose of the review article is to assess the contributions of telomere length and telomerase activity to the cardiac function at different stages of development and clarify their role in cardiac disorders. It has been shown that the telomerase complex and telomeres are of great importance in many periods of ontogenesis due to the regulation of the proliferative capacity of heart cells. The review article also discusses the problems of heart regeneration and the identification of possible causes of d… Show more

“…Telomeres are responsible for chromosomal protection during DNA damage via telomere length shortening, subsequently leading to cellular senescence. A high level of TERT enzyme helps cells to evade senescence due to the ability of the TERT to add a sequence to the cut telomeric end [ 90 ]. Hsp90α is known to bind and stabilise TERT coenzyme in cancer cells, thus promoting telomerase activity and suppressing senescence [ 91 ].…”

“…Telomere length and telomerase activity play a role in cellular aging. In their review article Nalobin et al [10] discussed the emerging role of telomere length and telomerase in cardiac development, aging, and regeneration. With the surge in interest in this topic and the contribution of mitochondria, the review is timely and highly appropriate.…”

“…Telomere shortening is explained by the fact that adult cells do no express DNA telomerase to replicate telomeres [49]; 30 to 200 sequences present at the end will be lost at every replication [123]. Additionally, telomeres are covered by a complex of six proteins called shelterin: TRF-1 determines the structure of telomeric end, TRF-2 implicated in telomerase protection and telomerase length homeostasis, TIN-2, RAP-1 POT-1, and TPP-1 [124].…”
