端粒酶活性在体细胞中无法检测到,但在致癌过程中经常被激活,赋予肿瘤永生性。催化亚基 hTERT(端粒酶活性的限制因素)表达的控制机制仍不清楚。我们之前提出了一个模型,其中转录因子 CTCF 与 hTERT 的前两个外显子的结合导致正常细胞中的转录抑制。然而,85% 的肿瘤中 CTCF 结合位点的甲基化会消除这种抑制作用。在这里,我们发现 hTERT 在睾丸和卵巢肿瘤以及衍生细胞系中未甲基化。我们证明 CTCF 及其旁系同源物 BORIS/CTCFL 均存在于相同癌细胞的细胞核中,并在体内与 hTERT 的第一个外显子结合。此外,随着细胞传代次数的增加,正常 BORIS 阴性细胞中的外源 BORIS 表达足以激活 hTERT 转录。因此,BORIS的表达足以允许hTERT在正常细胞中转录并抵消CTCF在睾丸和卵巢肿瘤细胞中的抑制作用。这些结果明确了 BORIS 对肿瘤发生过程中永生化的重要贡献。
Telomerase activity, not detectable in somatic cells but frequently activated during carcinogenesis, confers immortality to tumors. Mechanisms governing expression of the catalytic subunit hTERT, the limiting factor for telomerase activity, still remain unclear. We previously proposed a model in which the binding of the transcription factor CTCF to the two first exons of hTERT results in transcriptional inhibition in normal cells. This inhibition is abrogated, however, by methylation of CTCF binding sites in 85% of tumors. Here, we showed that hTERT was unmethylated in testicular and ovarian tumors and in derivative cell lines. We demonstrated that CTCF and its paralogue, BORIS/CTCFL, were both present in the nucleus of the same cancer cells and bound to the first exon of hTERT in vivo. Moreover, exogenous BORIS expression in normal BORIS-negative cells was sufficient to activate hTERT transcription with an increasing number of cell passages. Thus, expression of BORIS was sufficient to allow hTERT transcription in normal cells and to counteract the inhibitory effect of CTCF in testicular and ovarian tumor cells. These results define an important contribution of BORIS to immortalization during tumorigenesis.
