Expression of cyclooxygenase-2 in melanocytic skin lesions by immunohistochemistry
Introduction: cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is involved in pathogenesis of various tumors and possibly malignant skin tumors including malignant melanoma; however, there is not enough information about COX-2 expression in benign melanocytic lesions. In the present study we compared the expression levels of COX-2 in malignant melanoma and benign melanocytic lesions. Method: In this analytical study, ...
متن کاملExpression of cyclooxygenase-2 in gastritis and gastric premalignant lesions
Cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, the protein that plays a key role in gastric carcinogenesis, is being evaluated as a pharmacological target for both the prevention and treatment of cancer [1,2]. Tumor promotion may be attributed to the stimulation of cell proliferation and migration, the inhibition of apoptosis, the increase in malignant cell invasiveness and the induction of angiogenesis [1-3]. We aim...
متن کاملCyclooxygenase-2 expression and its association with thyroid lesions
Cyclooxygenase (COX), also known as prostaglandin H synthase, catalyses the formation of prostaglandins from arachidonic acid. It can be expressed in response to various stimuli, such as hormones, mitogens, cytokines, other inflammatory mediators and growth factors. The product of COX-2 activity has been implicated in carcinogenesis by promoting angiogenesis, inhibiting apoptosis, increasing ce...
متن کاملcyclooxygenase-2 expression in lymphoma in north-west of iran.
background: lymphomas are a group of malignancies affecting b, t and nk cells. cox-2 enzyme is one of the known inflammatory factors which increase in the inflammation process. increase in cox-2 expression inhibits apoptosis and increases tumor cells invasion and angiogenesis. increase in the cox-2 gene expression is seen in a group of cancers .specific cox-2 inhibition also can be beneficial i...
متن کاملCyclooxygenase 2 expression in pterygium
PURPOSE Following the recent discovery of an abnormal expression of the p53 gene in the epithelium in pterygium, some researchers felt that pterygium is a tumor rather than a degenerative disease. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation has been reported to be associated with pterygium formation, however the mechanism whereby UV induces uncontrolled proliferation in pterygial cells is unclear. Because cyclo...
