Cyclooxygenase-2 in oncogenesis
Clinica Chimica Acta, 2011Compelling experimental and clinical evidence supports the notion that cyclooxygenase-2, the inducible isoform of cyclooxygenase, plays a crucial role in oncogenesis. Clinical and epidemiological data indicate that aberrant regulation of cyclooxygenase-2 in certain solid tumors and hematological malignancies is associated with adverse clinical outcome.

Clinical Cancer Research, 2004
Abstract Purpose: Recent studies have shown that cyclooxygenase (Cox)-2 may be involved in colorectal carcinogenesis. We aimed to determine whether Cox-2 expression in itself can predict outcome of colorectal cancer patient after surgery. In addition, the expression of Cox-1 was also evaluated.

Current Pharmaceutical Design, 1995
Prostaglandins are synthesized by the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), which is the target for nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Recently a second form of COX was discovered (COX-2) that is induced by inflammatory stimuli. The identification of an inducible form of COX led to the hypothesis that COX-2 is responsible for inflammatory ...

Perspectives on the Cyclooxygenase-2/ Cyclooxygenase-1 Hypothesis
JCR: Journal of Clinical Rheumatology, 1998The introduction of the cyclooxygenase (COX) hypothesis to explain both the therapeutic effects and the toxicity of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) has provided direction for the development of preferential and highly selective COX-2 inhibitors, which retain efficacy against inflammation with reduced risk of toxicity. However, the complex

Cyclooxygenase-2 and Gastric Cancer
Cancer and Metastasis Reviews, 2011Gastric cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, although its incidence has been steadily declining during recent decades. Expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is elevated in gastric carcinomas and in their precursor lesions.

Cyclooxygenase 2 and the kidney
Current Opinion in Nephrology and Hypertension, 2001Cyclooxygenase metabolizes arachidonic acid to a family of bioactive fatty acids designated prostaglandins. Two isoforms of cyclooxygenase exist, designated COX1 and COX2. These isoforms are expressed in distinct but important areas of the kidney. COX1 predominates in vascular smooth muscle and collecting ducts, whereas COX2 predominates in the macula ...

Cyclooxygenase-2 and prostate carcinogenesis
Cancer Letters, 2003In recent years a dramatic surge has occurred on studies defining to the role of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 in causation and prevention of cancer. Prostaglandin (PG) endoperoxidase synthase also commonly referred to as COX is a key enzyme involved in the conversion of arachidonic acid to PGs and other eicosanoids.

Lung cancer and cyclooxygenase-2
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2003Lung cancer is by far the leading cause of cancer-related death. Overall survival is poor and has not improved substantially over the last half century. It is clear that new approaches are needed and these should include prevention, screening for early detection, and novel treatments based on our understanding of the molecular biology of this disease ...

Cloning and Expression of Cyclooxygenase-1 and Cyclooxygenase-2
2010Cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes play important roles in normal physiology and during inflammation of various cells and tissues. In order to help understand the functions of these enzymes, their genes can be cloned to facilitate the production of the proteins in recombinant form.
