Popis: 367 Background: The treatment of choice for many patients with advanced carcinomas is surgery in combination with aggressive chemo- and radiotherapy. Unfortunately, even with the aggressive regime of therapy against carcinomas, there is neither guarantee of life-long remission nor of further spread to other organs including the urogenital system. However, recent advances have identified the reactivation of telomerase as a pivotal element in the development of cancer. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a novel anti-telomerase (GV6) developed at our Institution on MCF7 (ER+, PR+, HER2+) and MDA-MB 231 (ER-, PR-, HER2-) cell lines. Methods: Seeded flasks (T-75) were supplemented with 25μm GV6 (n=4-6) or solvent alone (control, n=3) for 14 (short-term) or 27 (long-term) days. Cell viability and replicative senescence were both assessed using the Trypan Blue (Gibco) and SA-β-Gal (Cell Signaling Tech) methods, respectively. Results: By day 27, MCF7 flasks had a greater (p
