The invention discloses siRNA of a targeted FGF2 / TERT gene, a complex co-delivery system and application of the siRNA. According to the siRNA of the targeted FGF2 / TERT gene and the complex co-delivery system adopting the siRNA, the gene expression of FGF2 or TERT in cells can be remarkably inhibited; the delivery system disclosed by the invention can be used as an FGF2 or TERT inhibitor, remarkably overcomes chemotherapy drug resistance, can also enhance the sensitivity of tumor cells to chemical drugs, has an important clinical application value in the aspect of improving the treatment effect of tumors such as breast cancer and neuroblastoma, and has a great application prospect.

The application belongs to the technical field of fluorescent quantitative PCR, and provides an enzyme digestion-fluorescent quantitative PCR detection method. The method comprises the following steps: step one, configuring a reaction mixture, wherein the reaction mixture comprises amplification reagents, a restriction endonuclease, Taq DNA polymerase, UDG enzyme, primers and a probe; and step two, setting a reaction program and a reaction system. Non-target templates in a qPCR reaction system are degraded by enzyme digestion of a restriction endonuclease, thereby reducing non-specific amplification; the proportion of target templates is increased, thereby avoiding the interference of non-target templates and improving detection sensitivity and detection stability. In particular, the method can effectively detect high GC content templates, such as TERT gene promoters or CpG island methylation.

Disclosed in the present invention is the use of a TERT gene in the detection of residual iPSCs, which can effectively detect the presence of residual iPSCs in differentiated cells derived from hiPSCs, such as iNK cells.

The invention provides an application of joint detection of methylation level and protein concentration in early warning of hepatitis B virus related hepatocellular carcinoma, which adopts joint detection of methylation level of serum TERT gene promoter and TERT protein concentration and is applied to early warning of hepatitis B virus related hepatocellular carcinoma. According to the invention, a method for detecting the methylation level of a TERT gene promoter in free DNA of serum and a method for detecting the protein concentration of TERT in serum are utilized, and the two detection methods are combined into a scheme as a clinical prediction target, so that early warning of hepatitis B virus related hepatocellular carcinoma is realized.

A method for extending the replicative lifespan of T cells by activating the TERT gene is provided. Particularly, the method involves the epigenetic modification of the TERT promoter using a CRISPR / dCas9-based epigenetic modifier, followed by the reactivation of the modified TERT promoter using a Cas9-mediated transcriptional activator.
