Expression of cyclooxygenase-2 in melanocytic skin lesions by immunohistochemistry
Introduction: cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is involved in pathogenesis of various tumors and possibly malignant skin tumors including malignant melanoma; however, there is not enough information about COX-2 expression in benign melanocytic lesions. In the present study we compared the expression levels of COX-2 in malignant melanoma and benign melanocytic lesions. Method: In this analytical study, ...
متن کاملCyclooxygenase-2 expression is up-regulated in human pancreatic cancer.
A large body of evidence suggests that cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is important in gastrointestinal cancer. The purpose of this study was to determine whether COX-2 was expressed in adenocarcinoma of the human pancreas. Quantitative reverse transcription-PCR, immunoblotting, and immunohistochemistry were used to assess the expression of COX-2 in pancreatic tissue. Levels of COX-2 mRNA were increas...
متن کاملCyclooxygenase-1 and cyclooxygenase-2 gene expression in human colorectal adenocarcinomas and in azoxymethane induced colonic tumours in rats.
Increased prostaglandin E2 synthesis is considered important in both human and experimental colon carcinogenesis. It is not known, however, which cyclooxygenase isoenzyme is involved. The aim of this study was to compare the content of mRNA for cyclooxygenase-1 and cyclooxygenase-2 in colorectal cancers with the content in normal colonic specimens. Fifteen human colorectal adenocarcinomas, 35 a...
متن کاملAdvances in Brief Prognostic Significance of Elevated Cyclooxygenase 2 Expression in Primary, Resected Lung Adenocarcinomas
Recently, we demonstrated that elevated expression of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) is frequently seen in a specific type of lung cancer, i.e., adenocarcinoma, and is possibly associated with its invasion and metastasis. Here, the prognostic significance of elevated COX-2 expression was evaluated in a cohort of 130 adenocarcinoma patients who had consecutively undergone potentially curative resectio...
متن کاملIncreased expression of cyclooxygenase 2 occurs frequently in human lung cancers, specifically in adenocarcinomas.
Cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 expression was immunohistochemically examined in 59 human lung cancers as well as in normal and premalignant lung specimens. In contrast to scattered weak reactivity seen in normal peripheral airway epithelial cells, markedly up-regulated COX-2 expression was detected in about one-third of atypical adenomatous hyperplasias and carcinoma in situ specimens, and a significan...
