Cyclooxygenase-2 and Colon Cancer
Cyclooxygenases (COX) also known as prostaglandin (PG) synthases are found in two forms, COX-1 and COX-2. While COX-1 is responsible for cytoprotective functions in a number of organs, COX-2, which is normally absent at basal levels, is induced under certain conditions. Induction of COX-2 is found in many pathophysiological states including acute inflammation, arthritis, as well as in cancer an...
متن کاملUrsodeoxycholic acid inhibits Ras mutations, wild-type Ras activation, and cyclooxygenase-2 expression in colon cancer.
K-ras mutations occur frequently in colon cancer and contribute to autonomous growth. In the azoxymethane (AOM) model of colon cancer, in addition to K-ras mutations, we have shown that wild-type (WT) Ras can be activated by upstream pathways, including, e.g., signaling by ErbB receptors. Tumors with mutant or activated WT Ras had increased cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox-2) expression. We have also show...

متن کاملCyclooxygenase-2 inhibition inhibits c-Met kinase activity and Wnt activity in colon cancer.
Activity of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK) in colorectal cancer (CRC) is associated with enhanced tumor growth and a poorer prognosis. In addition, cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression contributes to tumor growth and invasion. COX-2 inhibitors exhibit important anticarcinogenic potential against CRC, but the molecular mechanism underlying this effect and the relation with RTK signaling remain t...
متن کاملInduction of cyclooxygenase-2 in monocyte/macrophage by mucins secreted from colon cancer cells.
Up-regulation of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and overproduction of prostaglandins have been implicated in the initiation and/or progression of colon cancer. However, it is uncertain in which cells and how COX-2 is induced initially in the tumor microenvironment. We found that a conditioned medium of the colon cancer cell line, LS 180, contained a factor to induce COX-2 in human peripheral blood mo...
