Fig. 3. Non-canonical TERT function in cancer regulation.

Fig. 3

Instead of telomerase regulation, TERT also participate in proliferation, apoptosis, cell cycle controlling, tumor-initiating cell formation, EMT, cell invasion, and the regulation of transcriptional factor-related gene expression changing processes. These changings in cancer also influence the components in tumor microenvironment.
