ERBB2 and breast carcinoma: This study was performed on Luminal A (MCF-7), triple negative (MDA-MB-468), and HER-2/neu (SKBR-3) human breast cancer cell lines, wherein telomerase activity inhibition by hTERT siRNA and doxorubicin was detected by measuring telomerase activity using Telomeric Repeat Amplification Protocol (TRAP assay), assessing cell viability through MTT assay, and evaluating apoptosis through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and through estimating caspase-3 and -8 activities using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
