Telomeres, specialized structures at the ends of linear chromosomes, protect chromosome ends from degrada-.tion, recombination, and mis-repair. Critically short telomere length (TL) may result in chromosome instability.(CIN), causing tumor promotion and, at higher levels, cell death and tumor suppression. Homocysteine (Hcy) is a.sulfur-containing amino acid involved in one-carbon metabolism. Elevated plasma Hcy is a cancer risk factor..Human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells were treated with pathophysiological concentrations of Hcy (15–120 μM).for 14 and 28 days. The cytokinesis-block micronucleus cytome assay was used to determine cytostasis (nuclear.division index, NDI), cell death (apoptosis and necrosis), and CIN (micronuclei, nucleoplasmic bridges, and.nuclear buds in binucleated cells). Quantitative PCR was used to measure TL and the expression of hTERT, the.gene encoding the catalytic subunit of telomerase for TL elongation. The results showed that Hcy induced.elongation of TL and fluctuating changes in expression of hTERT. TL elongation was associated with increased.CIN. Hcy decreased the NDI and increased cell death. This study shows that there is cross-talk between Hcy and.TL in tumor cells and supports the concept that high Hcy inhibits cell division and promotes the death of tumor.cells by abnormal elongation of TL and elevation of CIN.
