To determine the role of telomerase activity in the growth of tumors in rats undergoing chemotherapy a comparison of the volumes of telomerase-positive transplantable osteosarcomas was made in rats treated with the antineoplastic agent cis-diammine dichloroplatinum (CDDP) or the angiogenesis inhibitor O-(chloroacetylcarbamoyl)fumagillol (AGM-1470). Male F344 rats, 8 weeks old, received transplants of macroscopic lung metastatic nodules into the subcutaneous hack space and treatment was started on day 14 thereafter CDDP was injected i.v. at doses of 0, 0.625, 1.25 and 2.5 mg/kg body weight (b.w.) and AGM-1470 was administered at total doses of 0, 2.5, 5 and 10 mg/kg b.w. over 2 weeks by osmotic pumps, also implanted into the subcutaneous back space, but remote from the transplanted tumors. On day 28, ail animals were killed for measurement of transplanted tumor size and determination of telomerase activities by telomeric repeat amplification protocol (TRAP) assay. The results showed telomerase activity to be highly correlated with the treated/non-treated (T/C) tumor size ratio (r = 0.96, P
