Published by PNAS. This open access article is distributed under Creative Commons Attribution License 4.0 (CC BY).A substantial number of human cancers are telomerase-negative and elongate physiologically damaged telomeres through a break-induced replication (BIR)-based mechanism known as alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT). We recently demonstrated that inhibiting the transcription of the telomeric long noncoding RNA TERRA suppresses telomere damage and ALT features, indicating that telomere transcription is a main trigger of ALT activity. Here we show that experimentally increased TERRA transcription not only increases ALT features, as expected, but also causes rapid loss of telomeric DNA through a pathway that requires the endonuclease Mus81. Our data indicate that the ALT mechanism can endanger telomere integrity if not properly controlled and point to TERRA transcription as a uniquely versatile target for therapy.This work was supported by the Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (grants PTDC/BIA-MOL/6624/2020, PTDC/MED-ONC/7864/2020 to C.M.A. and B.S., and award 2021.00143.CEECIND to C.M.A.), European Molecular Biology Organization (grant IG3576 to C.M.A.), and LaCaixa Foundation (grant LCF/PR/HP21/52310016 to C.M.A.).National Academy of ScienceRepositório da Universidade de LisboaSilva, BrunoArora, RajikaAzzalin, Claus Maria2022-09-21T14:41:26Z20222022-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10451/54541engProc Natl Acad Sci USA. 2022 Sep 27;119(39):e22086691190027-842410.1073/pnas.22086691191091-6490info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAP2025-03-17T14:49:43Zoai:repositorio.ulisboa.pt:10451/54541Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-29T03:25:43.925142Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
