Evaluation of cytotoxicity mechanism of two cyclo-oxygenase-2 inhibitors in leukemia cell line
Introduction: Leukemia is considered one of the main causes of death, and current chemotherapeutic agents are unable to provide optimal responses due to chemo-resistance. Therefore, there is a constant need for new drugs. Cyclooxygenase- 2 (COX-2) inhibitors can be helpful by reducing the necessary dose of routine chemotherapeutic drugs. Herein, we evaluated the cytotoxicity activity as well...
متن کاملStructure of the human cyclo-oxygenase-2 gene.
Cyclo-oxygenase (Cox), a rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of prostanoids, is encoded by two genes, Cox-1 and Cox-2, which are differentially expressed and regulated. Human Cox-1 and -2 polypeptides share 61% primary sequence identity. While the expression of Cox-1 is maximal in quiescent cells. Cox-2 expression is induced by growth factors and cytokines. We have screened a human genomic li...
متن کاملWhy do cyclo-oxygenase-2 inhibitors cause cardiovascular events?
This report confirms evidence that selective nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as celecoxib, can lead to thrombotic cardiovascular events. Aspirin, a nonselective COX-1 (cyclo-oxygenase) and COX-2 inhibitor may result in gastric toxicity. For this reason, selective COX-2 inhibitors have been developed to reduce erosion of the gastric mucosa. Both selective and nonselective NSA...
متن کاملLocalization of cyclo-oxygenase-2 in human recurrent colorectal cancer.
AIM The aim of this paper is to examine COX-2 expression in human recurrent colorectal carcinoma tissues using immunohistochemistry and quantative real-time PCR (qPCR). METHODS Colon and rectal specimens were obtained from 26 patients with recurrent colorectal carcinomas. We examined COX-2 expression in human recurrent colorectal carcinoma tissues using immunohistochemistry and quantative rea...
متن کاملRole of the Selective Cyclo-oxygenase-2 (cox-2) Inhibitors in Children
Correspondence to: Mr Sean Turner, Clinical Services, Princess Margaret Hospital, Roberts Road, Perth, Western Australia 6008, Australia; sean.turner@health. wa.gov.au _________________________ T here has been a great deal written about the use of selective cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors in the adult population. Yet despite this there is still controversy over their place in treatment and...
