Role of cyclooxygenase-2 in breast cancer 总被引:22,自引:0,他引:22
Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), the enzyme that converts arachidonic acid to prostaglandin H2, is expressed in normal brain and kidney, activated macrophages, synoviocytes during inflammation, and malignant epithelial cells. COX-2 expression is stimulated by a number of inflammatory cytokines, growth factors, oncogenes, lipopolysaccharides, and tumor promoters. There is evidence that COX-2 plays a key role in tumorigenesis through stimulating epithelial cell proliferation, inhibiting apoptosis, stimulating angiogenesis, enhancing cell invasiveness, mediating immune suppression, and by increasing the production of mutagens. Results of several studies using mouse models of colon cancer and the results of clinical trials have shown COX-2 to be a useful target for the prevention and treatment of colon cancer. Studies with several other epithelial cancers involving different organ sites, e.g., breast, prostate, bladder, lung, and pancreas, suggest that COX-2 plays an important role in the pathogenesis of these cancers. In this review, we summarize the studies that pertain to the involvement of COX-2 in breast cancer. COX-2 overexpression affects the physiological processes at different organ sites in a similar manner, although specific effectors and targets of COX-2 may differ at different sites. Thus in reviewing the data on the involvement of COX-2 in breast cancer, we have also considered the findings regarding the role of COX-2 in other organ sites. Studies from mouse models of mammary tumorigenesis and from human breast cancer cell lines provide evidence that COX-2 overexpression plays an important role in the pathogenesis of malignant breast cancer in humans. Because of availability of effective and relatively safe COX-2 inhibitors, it should be soon possible to evaluate their effectiveness in the clinic for the prevention and treatment of breast cancer. It is likely that the COX-2 inhibitors will be effective in the treatment regimens involving combination chemotherapies. 相似文献

COX-2 induces IL-11 production in human breast cancer cells 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
BACKGROUND: Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is overexpressed in 40% of human invasive breast cancers. Interleukin-11 (IL-11), a potent mediator of osteoclastogenesis, is involved in breast cancer metastasis to bone. Since breast cancers that overexpress COX-2 are associated with a higher rate of metastasis to bone, we hypothesized that COX-2 expression in tumor cells would induce IL-11. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We transfected MCF-7 (poorly metastatic) and MDA-231 (highly metastatic) human breast cancer cell lines with COX-2 expression vectors. COX-2 overexpression was confirmed by Western blot and PGE(2) immunoassay, and IL-11 production was measured by immunoassay. We also used a nude mouse model to study COX-2 and IL-11 production from breast cancer cells that metastasized to bone. The bone-seeking clones (BSC) were isolated and cultured from the long bone metastases. RESULTS: COX-2 transfection caused an approximately 5- to 6-fold increase in IL-11 production in both MCF-7 and MDA-231 cells. MDA-435S-COX2-BSC (cells isolated from bone metastasis) produced elevated levels of IL-11 and PGE2 (an important mediator of COX-2) as compared to the parental MDA-435S-COX2 cells. Furthermore, a treatment with low 1- to 2-microm concentration NS-398 or Celecoxib significantly reduced the production of IL-11 in COX-2-transfected MDA-231 cells, thus confirming the involvement of COX-2 in IL-11 induction. CONCLUSION: COX-2-mediated production of IL-11 in breast cancer cells may be vital to the development of osteolytic bone metastases in patients with breast cancer, and a COX-2 inhibitor may be useful in inhibiting this process. 相似文献

Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is over expressed in a variety of premalignant and malignant conditions. It may contribute to carcinogenesis by modulating xenobiotic metabolism, apoptosis, immune surveillance, and angiogenesis. Selective COX-2 inhibitors suppress the formation of tumors in experimental models. Selective COX-2 inhibitors also suppress the growth and metastases of established tumors and enhance the anticancer activity of both radiotherapy and chemotherapy in experimental animals. This review aims at discussing evidence that inhibition of COX-2 represents a promising strategy to treat, prevent or possibly prevent human malignancies. Importantly, selective COX-2 inhibitors do not inhibit platelet function and cause fewer gastrointestinal side effects (peptic ulcer disease) than traditional nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS). More clinical trials are warranted to define the role of selective COX-2 inhibitors in the prevention and treatment of cancer along with their assessment of toxicity. 相似文献

The use COX-2 inhibitors induces regression of adenoma polyps and disrupts the sequence adenoma colorectal carcinoma. So that, this can be used in chemoprevention of colorectal cancer and also in cancer localised in other segments of the digestive tract. So far there is no agreement regarding the beginning of the treatment, the minimal efficient dose, the span of time required for chemoprevention. As the current studies in this field are quite encouraging we believe that in the next future COX-2 inhibitors could be used not only in chemoprevention but also in tumoral regression, and as a codrug in chemiotherapy of colorectal cancer. 相似文献

Prostaglandins are thought to play an important role in the proliferation of prostate cancer and are highly expressed in prostate cancer tissue. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), or prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase, is a key enzyme in the conversion of arachidonic acid into prostaglandin. In several cancers, COX-2 contributes to the proliferation and metastasis of cancer cells. To assess the role of COX-2 in prostate cancer, we investigated whether the inhibition of COX-2 affected the proliferation of prostate cancer cells. The human prostate cancer cell lines, LNCaP and PC 3, and a normal prostate stromal cell line (PrSC) were treated with COX-2 inhibitors NS 398 and Etodolac. The proliferation rate of the cell lines was examined using 3(4,5-dimethylethiazoly 1-2-) 2,5-diphonyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assays. A DNA fragmentation assay was also used for proof of apoptosis. COX-2 inhibitors could suppress the proliferation of LNCaP and PC 3 cells. In contrast, PrSC was not affected by COX-2 inhibitors. These suppressive effects occurred in a time- and dose-dependent manner. One of mechanisms responsible for cell death was apoptosis. COX-2 seems to play a significant role in the progression of prostate cancer. COX-2 may be a therapeutic target for prostate cancer. Since COX-2 inhibitors suppress proliferation and induce apoptosis in prostate cancer cells, and have no effect in normal prostate stromal cells, COX-2 inhibitors will be useful for the treatment of prostate cancer. 相似文献

目的总结胃肠道间质瘤(GIST)的发病机制及流行病学特点,探讨其诊断及治疗并分析其预后。方法复习与GIST的发病机制、流行病学、诊断、治疗及预后方面有关的文献并对其进行综述。结果 GIST为非上皮源性肿瘤,起源于Cajal间叶细胞,是消化道最常见的间叶性肿瘤,约占消化道肿瘤的1%~3%,中位发病年龄为40~60岁,胃为最好发部位。目前认为,GIST的发病机制与原癌基因c-kit或血小板源性生长因子受体α(PDGFRα)基因突变有密切关系,但PDGFRα和c-kit基因突变不会同时出现在同一患者中。GIST的临床表现缺乏特异性,临床诊断主要依靠内镜及影像学技术,最终确诊依靠病理学检查。目前对GIST的治疗以手术与分子靶向药物治疗为主,其预后与肿瘤危险度分级及治疗干预密切相关。结论 GIST是具有恶性潜能的肿瘤,其危险度分级是指导临床治疗及预后评估的重要指标,GIST的预防、诊断、治疗及复发的预防有待进一步研究。 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) overexpression by a primary tumor correlates with poor prognosis in breast cancer, including early spread to bone. Interleukin-8 (IL-8) stimulates osteoclastogenesis and resorption of bone, and elevated IL-8 levels predict early metastatic spread of breast cancer. The purpose of this study was to test our hypothesis that tumors that overexpress COX-2 induce IL-8 production. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We cotransfected MCF-10A (nonmalignant breast epithelial) cells, as well as MDA-231 (highly metastatic human breast cancer) cell lines with a pSG5-COX-2 vector and pEF1a-Luc-IRES-Neo vector (luciferase reporter). COX-2 overexpression was confirmed by Western blot and PGE2 (a product of the COX-2 pathway) immunoassay. IL-8 production was measured by immunoassay. In vivo testing used a nude mouse model to measure COX-2 and IL-8 production from breast cancer cells that had metastasized to bone (bone-seeking clones (BSCs)). Long bone metastases were localized and quantified by luciferase imaging (Xenogen IVIS system) and X-ray. BSCs were isolated and cultured and then tested for the production of PGE2 and IL-8. RESULTS: COX-2 overexpression caused a 4- to 5-fold increase in IL-8 production in both MCF-10A and MDA-231 cells in vitro. In vivo, we observed that the MDA-231-BSC (metastatic cells isolated from bone metastases) produced significantly greater levels of both PGE2 and IL-8 compared to the parental MDA-231 cells (P < 0.01). In contrast to the results obtained with these estrogen receptor-negative cell lines, COX-2 expression failed to induce IL-8 in the MCF-7 estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer cell line. Treatment with the COX-2 inhibitor NS-398 at a low 1-mu[scap]M dose reduced the production of IL-8 in COX-2-transfected MDA-231 cells by 30%, thus confirming the involvement of COX-2 in IL-8 induction. CONCLUSION: COX-2 expression induced formation of PGE2 and IL-8 in breast cancer cells. Since PGE2 and IL-8 stimulate osteoclasts to resorb bone, COX-2 inhibition is a potential target for treatment to prevent bone metastases. 相似文献

TWO ISOFORMS: There are two isoforms of cyclooxygenase (COX) with similar structure and metabolic activity. COX-1 is a constitutional enzyme. COX-2 is an inductible form. CYCLOOXYGENASE-1: COX-1 is present in most tissues, particularly in the kidney, the digestive tract mucosa, platelets, brain, liver and spleen. CYCLOOXYGENASE-2: COX-2 expression can be induced by an inflammatory process. Implicated in the development of certain cancers, COX-2 is expressed in numerous tumor cell lines and in most epithelial carcinomas. COX-2 favors tumor invasion and inhibits apoptosis. When it is absent, tumor growth is slower or stopped. 相似文献
