The relationship between angiogenesis and cyclooxygenase-2 expression in prostate cancer [PDF]
<b>OBJECTIVE</b>: To test the hypothesis that angiogenesis in prostate cancer is associated with tumour invasion and metastasis, and that this is mediated through increased cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression.

Acetylsalicylic acid has been linked to a lower risk for different cancer types, presumably through its inhibitory effect on cyclooxygenase 2.

Cyclooxygenase-2 and its product PGE2 play essential roles in inducing and maintaining the suppressive functions of MDSCs in cancer. Blockade of the COX-2/PGE2 pathway abolishes the induction of MDSCs in response to tumor-derived factors and thus may provide new opportunities for targeting MDSCs in cancer patients.

Severity of lung injury in cyclooxygenase-2-deficient mice is dependent on reduced prostaglandin E-2 production [PDF]
Levels of prostaglandin E-2 (PGE(2)), a potent inhibitor of fibroblast function, are decreased in the lungs of patients with pulmonary fibrosis, which has been shown to be because of limited expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2).

Pyruvate Kinase M2 Promotes Prostate Cancer Metastasis Through Regulating ERK1/2-COX-2 Signaling
Pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) is a key enzyme of glycolysis, which is highly expressed in many tumor cells, and has emerged as an important player in tumor progression and metastasis.

Cyclooxygenase-2 in the Kidney [PDF]
Prostaglandins are produced constitutively by many tissues in the body, including brain, gut, and kidney, and their synthesis increases at sites of inflammation. Cyclooxygenase (COX), the enzyme responsible for the initial rate-limiting metabolism of arachidonic acid to prostaglandin G2 ...

Cyclooxygenase-2 expression in cervical cancer [PDF]
Background/Aim. Cyclooxygenase (COX) or prostaglandin H2 synthase is the first enzyme that catalyzes the first two steps in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins from arachidonic acid.

Selective COX-2 inhibitors and risk of myocardial infarction [PDF]
Selective inhibitors of cyclooxygenase- 2 ( COX- 2, ` coxibs') are highly effective anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs that exert their action by preventing the formation of prostanoids.

Evaluation of cyclooxygenase 2- gene expression in benign and malignant ascites [PDF]
Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the mRNA expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox-2) in ascites caused by various diseases. Moreover, it was attempted to investigate its usefulness in the differential diagnosis between malignant and benign ascites.
