Additive effects of Cox-1 and Cox-2 inhibition on breast cancer in vitro.
We hypothesized that combined treatment with Cox-1 and Cox-2 specific inhibitiors would exhibit synergistic effects against breast cancer in vitro. Two human breast cancer cell lines (HTB26, MCF-7) were treated with catechin (Cox-1 inhibitor) or NS398 (Cox-2 inhibitor) at 100 microM as both single and combined treatments. Reductions in cell growth were observed in both cell lines at 24 and 72 h...
متن کاملCOX-2 inhibition in clinical cancer prevention.
Colorectal cancer is an excellent model for studying cancer prevention by means of secondary (e.g., polypectomy to remove a precursor adenoma) and primary (chemoprevention) strategies. Evidence has shown that regular users of aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have a reduction in risk of colorectal cancer. A possible mechanism of this benefit is decreased prostaglan...
متن کاملCOX-2 inhibitors and breast cancer.
The cyclooxygenase ( COX ) -2 inhibitor celecoxib was recently approved in the USA for the prevention of polyp formation in familial adenomatous polyposis, a defined premalignant condition for colorectal cancer. The potential value of COX inhibitors in similar roles for other malignancies, particularly breast cancer, is therefore currently under intense scrutiny. Use of these medications in che...

are prescribed commonly for the treatment of pain and inflammation caused by various musculoskeletal disorders and dysmenorrhea. Nonselective NSAIDs’ anti-inflammatory effects appear to be caused by blocking the enzyme cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). In addition, nonselective NSAIDs exert both their antiplatelet and detrimental effects on the gastrointestinal mucosa by blocking COX-1.1 COX-2 inhibito...
متن کاملPharmacologic Inhibition of COX-1 and COX-2 in Influenza A Viral Infection in Mice
BACKGROUND We previously demonstrated that cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 deficiency results in greater morbidity and inflammation, whereas COX-2 deficiency leads to reduced morbidity, inflammation and mortality in influenza infected mice. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We investigated the effects of COX-1 and COX-2 inhibitors in influenza A viral infection. Mice were given a COX-1 inhibitor (SC-560)...
