Over-consumption of iron-rich red meat and hereditary or genetic iron overload are associated with increased risk colorectal carcinogenesis, yet the mechanistic basis how metal-mediated signaling leads to oncogenesis remains enigmatic. Using fresh cancer (CRC) samples we identify Pirin, an sensor, that overcomes a rate-limiting step in oncogenesis, by re-activating dormant human-reverse-transcriptase (hTERT) subunit telomerase holoenzyme iron-(Fe3+)-dependent-manner thereby drives CRCs....
