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.
