Abstract: Purpose : To study the inhibitory effect of human telomerase activity and the apoptosis by an antisense oligonucleotide against human telomerase RNA ( hTR) in K562 cells. Methods : Telomerase activity of K562 cells with antisense t reatment was measured using the TRAP assay , and apoptosis was studied by means of TUNEL method. Results : The telomerase activity was effectively inhibited , and the apoptosis was induced by the antisense t reatment . Conclusion : Antisense oligonucleotide against hTR can effectively inhibit the telomerase activity of K562 cells.

Key words: telomerase, K562 cell, antisenset reatment, apoptosis
