Upregulation of prostaglandin E by inducible microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 in colon cancer [PDF]
Purpose Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is known to promote carcinogenesis and cancer progression in colon cancer. Enzymes involved in the metabolism of PGE2 include cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 (mPGES-1), and 15-prostaglandin ...
