Signalling inhibition by ponatinib disrupts productive alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) by Kusuma, Frances Karla, Prabhu, Aishvaryaa, Tieo, Galen, Syed Moiz Ahmed, Dakle, Pushkar, Yong, Wai Khang, Pathak, Elina, Madan, Vikas, Jiang, Yan Yi, Tam, Wai Leong, Kappei, Dennis, Dröge, Peter, Koeffler, H. Phillip, Jeitany, Maya

“…By performing anti-cancer compound library screen on isogenic cell lines and using extrachromosomal telomeric C-circles, as a bona fide marker of ALT activity, we identify a receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor ponatinib that deregulates ALT mechanisms, induces telomeric dysfunction, reduced ALT-associated telomere synthesis, and targets, in vivo, ALT-positive cells. …”
