We have previously shown that PMEG diphosphate and PMEDAP diphosphate inhibit the enzymatic activity of human telomerase in a cell-free assay. Here, we investigated the ability of PMEG and PMEDAP to induce telomere shortening and telomerase inhibition in two T-cell leukemia cell lines. Both PMEDAP and PMEG induced telomere shortening in CCRF-CEM cells after 9 weeks of exposure while the effect of the compounds on telomere length in MOLT-4 cells was the opposite. No correlation between telomerase activity and telomere length was found. Both compounds also down-regulated the expression of hTERT and c-myc mRNA in both cell lines. In conclusion, PMEDAP and PMEG are able to modulate telomere length in leukemic cells and this effect is cell-type specific. It is neither due to telomerase inhibition nor impairment of hTERT expression and it is likely to be telomerase-independent.
