Mucin 1 Regulates Cox-2 Gene in Pancreatic Cancer
OBJECTIVE Eighty percent of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDAs) overexpress mucin 1 (MUC1), a transmembrane mucin glycoprotein. MUC1(high) PDA patients also express high levels of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) and show poor prognosis. The cytoplasmic tail of MUC1 (MUC1-CT) partakes in oncogenic signaling, resulting in accelerated cancer progression. Our aim was to understand the regulation of C...
متن کاملGene modulation by Cox-1 and Cox-2 specific inhibitors in human colorectal carcinoma cancer cells.
Cox-1 and Cox-2 specific inhibitors exert chemo-preventative activity. However, the exact mechanisms for this activity remain unclear. Increasing evidence suggests that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs regulate gene expression, which may be responsible, in part, for this activity. In this study, human colorectal carcinoma HCT-116 cells were treated with the Cox-1 specific inhibitor SC-560 ...
متن کاملCell intrinsic role of COX-2 in pancreatic cancer development.
COX-2 is upregulated in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDAC). However, how COX-2 promotes PDAC development is unclear. While previous studies have evaluated the efficacy of COX-2 inhibition via the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) or the COX-2 inhibitor celecoxib in PDAC models, none have addressed the cell intrinsic versus microenvironment roles of COX-2 in modulating PD...
متن کاملGrowth stimulation of COX-2-negative pancreatic cancer by a selective COX-2 inhibitor.
Cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) inhibitors are promising antiangiogenic agents in several preclinical models. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of selective COX-2 inhibitors on vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) production in vitro and angiogenesis and growth of pancreatic cancer in vivo, focusing on putative differences between COX-2-negative and COX-2-positive tumors. VE...
متن کاملdirect sequencing of cyclooxygenase-2 (cox-2) revealed an intronic variant rs201231411 in iranian patients with pancreatic cancer
background there are hoarding documents for the biological importance of cyclooxygenase-2 (cox-2) in pancreatic carcinogenesis. we aimed to thoroughly investigate the dna sequence variations of whole cox-2 exons in a large case-control study of pancreatic cancer by direct sequencing. methods the entire exonic regions of cox-2 including 10 exons were sequenced in the germline dna of 96 patient...
