Although inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) or activation of peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor γ (PPAR-γ) leads to growth inhibition in malignancies, the synergistic anti-tumor effects of combination of COX-2 inhibitor (NS-398) and PPAR-γ agonist (rosiglitazone) on the human pancreatic cancer cells remains unknown. Here, we evaluated the effects of NS-398 and/or rosiglitazone on the cell proliferation and apoptosis in a pancreatic cancer cell line, SW1990. NS-398 and rosiglitazone decreased cell proliferation in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) labeling index significantly decreased in the cells treated with either NS-398 or rosiglitazone. Both NS-398 and rosiglitazone alone induced apoptotic cell death of SW1990. The combination of NS-398 and rosiglitazone exerted synergistic effects on proliferation inhibition, and apoptosis induction in SW1990 cells, with down-regulation of Bcl-2 and up-regulation of Bax expression. Our results indicate that simultaneous targeting of COX-2 and PPAR-γ inhibits pancreatic cancer development more effectively than targeting each molecule alone. 相似文献

Effect of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on colon carcinoma Caco-2 cell responsiveness to topoisomerase inhibitor drugs 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Ricchi P Di Matola T Ruggiero G Zanzi D Apicella A di Palma A Pensabene M Pignata S Zarrilli R Acquaviva AM 《British journal of cancer》2002,86(9):1501-1509
Numerous studies demonstrate that the chemopreventive effect of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on colon cancer is mediated through inhibition of cell growth and induction of apoptosis. For these effects non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have been recently employed as sensitising agents in chemotherapy. We have shown previously that treatments with aspirin and NS-398, a cyclo-oxygenase-2 selective inhibitor, affect proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis of the human colon adenocarcinoma Caco-2 cells. In the present study, we have evaluated the effects of aspirin and NS-398 non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on sensitivity of Caco-2 cells to irinotecan (CPT 11) and etoposide (Vp-16) topoisomerase poisons. We find that aspirin co-treatment is able to prevent anticancer drug-induced toxicity, whereas NS-398 co-treatment poorly affects anticancer drug-induced apoptosis. These effects correlate with the different ability of aspirin and NS-398 to interfere with cell cycle during anticancer drug co-treatment. Furthermore, aspirin treatment is associated with an increase in bcl-2 expression, which persists in the presence of the anticancer drugs. Our data indicate that aspirin, but not NS-398, determines a cell cycle arrest associated with death suppression. This provides a plausible mechanism for the inhibition of apoptosis and increase in survival observed in anticancer drug and aspirin co-treatment. 相似文献

A selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor, NS-398, was shown to produce an anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effect on different types of cell lines. We describe the presence of COX-1 and COX-2 pathways in the human osteosarcoma 1547 cell line, as well as the conflicting effects of NS-398 (10, 50 and 100 microM) on programmed cell death, PGE2 release and COX-2 expression in 1547 cells cultured under apoptotic conditions. We demonstrate a link between the effects of 10 and 100 microM NS-398 on cell apoptosis, PGE2 release, and expression of COX-2 in 1547 cells undergoing apoptosis. At 10 microM, NS-398 acted as a selective COX-2 inhibitor moderately increasing apoptosis without any effect on COX-2 expression. In contrast, at 100 microM, NS-398 induced a cell cycle slowing or arrest, strongly enhanced COX-2 expression which was associated with a high PGE2 release and a marked decrease in apoptosis. This latter property of NS-398 at 100 microM in 1547 human osteosarcoma cells is novel compared to the described NS-398 pro-apoptotic effect on other cell lines. 相似文献

Cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors demonstrate anti-proliferative effects in oesophageal cancer cells by prostaglandin E(2)-independent mechanisms 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Deasy BM O'Sullivan-Coyne G O'Donovan TR McKenna SL O'Sullivan GC 《Cancer letters》2007,256(2):246-258
The incidence of oesophageal cancer (OC) has risen in recent decades, with survival rates remaining poor despite surgical treatment and adjuvant chemotherapy. Studies have reported cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) overexpression in OC and current evidence suggests NSAIDs have major potential for chemoprevention through COX-2 inhibition. However, several reports have questioned the specificity of these inhibitors, suggesting they may act through mechanisms other than COX-2. We evaluated the effects of specific COX-2 inhibitors, NS-398 and nimesulide, on cell lines of both histological types of OC. COX-2 protein expression varied in the cell lines and corresponded with levels of prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) production. Following treatment with low concentrations of NS-398 (0.1 microM), PGE(2) production was reduced dramatically, indicating inhibition of COX-2 activity. Examination of cellular morphology, caspase-3 activity and mitochondrial membrane integrity found no major induction of apoptotic cell death at concentrations below 100 microM. Tumour cell proliferation was significantly reduced at high concentrations (50-100 microM) of both inhibitors over 6 days. Cellular responses were more evident in NS-398-treated adenocarcinoma cells. However, concentrations required to inhibit proliferation were up to 1000-fold higher than those needed to inhibit enzyme activity. Addition of exogenous PGE(2) to NS-398-treated adenocarcinoma cells failed to reverse the inhibitory effects, indicating PG and COX-2 independence. It remains possible that in vivo COX-2 is the primary target, as enzyme inhibition can be achieved at low concentrations, however, inhibition of proliferation is not the primary mechanism of their anti-tumour activity. 相似文献

We previously established two lung cancer cell lines, OKa-C-1 and MI-4, which constitutively produce abundant granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) and granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF). Inflammatory cytokines, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin (IL)-1beta stimulated the expression of G-CSF, GM-CSF, and cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 in the two cell lines. It is known that increased COX-2 activity promotes tumor growth and induces G-CSF and GM-CSF expression in non-malignant cells, and that selective COX-2 inhibitors inhibit the growth of some types of malignant cells. Therefore, we hypothesized that inhibition of COX-2 activity might suppress constitutive production of G-CSF or GM-CSF in addition to reducing the growth of malignant cells. We confirmed that the selective COX-2 inhibitor, NS-398 suppressed the constitutive production of G-CSF and GM-CSF, and the cell growth in both OKa-C-1 and MI-4 cell lines. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) reversed the inhibitions of G-CSF and GM-CSF expression, as well as cell growth, by NS-398. This result confirms that the effects of NS-398 are based on the inhibition of COX activity. Some studies have indicated that nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB) or MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) activation is related to upregulation of G-CSF, GM-CSF or COX-2 expression in some types of cells. Therefore, we examined if the actions of NS-398 might be mediated by the MAP kinase pathway or NF-kappaB activity in OKa-C-1 and MI-4 cells. We found that NS-398 inhibits G-CSF and GM-CSF production and cell growth through an extracellular signal-regulated kinase kinase (MEK) signaling pathway in these cell lines. The prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer showing G-CSF gene expression is significantly worse. G-CSF overproduction by tumor cells is observed at an advanced clinical stage. Our findings imply that a COX-2 inhibitor might improve the prognosis of patients with lung cancer through the reduction of G-CSF or GM-CSF. 相似文献

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis in human colorectal cancer cells in vitro. It remains unclear whether individual NSAIDs act by cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibition and how NSAIDs exert their anti-proliferative effects. We investigated the effects of NS-398 (a selective COX-2 inhibitor), indomethacin (a non-selective COX inhibitor) and aspirin on four human colorectal cancer cell lines (HT29.Fu, HCA-7, SW480 and HCT116). NS-398 completely inhibited proliferation, induced G1 arrest and promoted apoptosis in COX-2-expressing cells (HT29.Fu and HCA-7). However, indomethacin had similar effects on all cells, regardless of COX-2 expression. NS-398 also had anti-proliferative activity on COX-2-negative cell lines (SW480 and HCT116). Aspirin inhibited proliferation of all cell lines but did not induce apoptosis. Indomethacin decreased beta-catenin protein expression in all cells (unlike NS-398 or aspirin). NSAIDs act on human colorectal cancer cells via different mechanisms. Decreased beta-catenin protein expression may mediate the anti-proliferative effects of indomethacin. 相似文献
