We have previously shown that short-term TERT inhibition by BIBR impairs cellular proliferation in in vitro models of post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders (i.e., LCL cell lines) and Burkitt’s lymphoma (i.e., BL cell lines) without any detectable change in telomere length, thus suggesting a druggable extra-telomeric function of TERT involved in cellular proliferation [12]. Here, TERT is linked to Burkitt lymphoma.
