چکیده
A workshop, "Chemopreventive properties of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): Role of COX-dependent and -independent mechanisms," sponsored by the Chemical and Physical Carcinogenesis Branch, Division of Cancer Biology of the National Cancer Institute, was held in Rockville, Maryland, on January 8, 2001. The workshop was composed of two parts: oral presentations by a series of speakers, and a group discussion of preselected topics.

Induction of apoptotic cell death in human colorectal carcinoma cell lines by a cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)-selective nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug: independence from COX-2 protein expression.
Cyclooxygenase (COX) catalyzes the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandin H2. The inducible isoform, COX-2, promotes colorectal tumorigenesis, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) that selectively inhibit this isoform are chemopreventive in murine models of intestinal tumorigenesis. To establish a mechanism for their chemopreventive properties, we examined the effect of a ...
متن کاملThe Proapoptotic Effect of Traditional and Novel Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs in Mammalian and Yeast Cells
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have long been used to treat pain, fever, and inflammation. However, mounting evidence shows that NSAIDs, such as aspirin, have very promising antineoplastic properties. The chemopreventive, antiproliferative behaviour of NSAIDs has been associated with both their inactivation of cyclooxygenases (COX) and their ability to induce apoptosis via pathwa...

متن کاملA novel sulindac derivative lacking cyclooxygenase-inhibitory activities suppresses carcinogenesis in the transgenic adenocarcinoma of mouse prostate model.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs including sulindac are well documented to be highly effective for cancer chemoprevention. However, their cyclooxygenase (COX)-inhibitory activities cause severe gastrointestinal, renal, and cardiovascular toxicities, limiting their chronic use. Recent studies suggest that COX-independent mechanisms may be responsible for the chemopreventive benefits of nonst...
متن کاملDual function of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): inhibition of cyclooxygenase and induction of NSAID-activated gene.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used drugs for the treatment of inflammatory disease and have a chemopreventive effect on colorectal cancer. NSAIDs inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 and/or COX-2 activity, but the chemopreventive effect may be, in part, independent of prostaglandin inhibition. NSAID-activated gene (NAG-1) was previously identified as a gene induced by some ...
