Abstract

The present study explored the effect of telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) on the growth and apoptosis of fibrosarcoma, and investigated the potential molecular signalling pathways underlying its effect. A plasmid was constructed in order to overexpress TERT and siRNA was used to knockdown TERT. The effect of TERT on fibrosarcoma cells in vitro was studied by performing reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR and western blotting to determine the expression of p53, survivin, caspase‑3, caspase‑7 and PKB. Knockdown of TERT suppressed cell growth, decreased fibrosarcoma volume, decreased survivin and PKB expression, and increased caspase‑3 expression. The results of the present study suggest that TERT regulates the growth of fibrosarcoma in vitro and in vivo, and that this is associated with the expression of caspase‑3 and survivin, in addition to the PKB signalling pathway.
