Evaluation of cytotoxicity mechanism of two cyclo-oxygenase-2 inhibitors in leukemia cell line
Introduction: Leukemia is considered one of the main causes of death, and current chemotherapeutic agents are unable to provide optimal responses due to chemo-resistance. Therefore, there is a constant need for new drugs. Cyclooxygenase- 2 (COX-2) inhibitors can be helpful by reducing the necessary dose of routine chemotherapeutic drugs. Herein, we evaluated the cytotoxicity activity as well...
متن کاملDifferential metabolism of dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid and arachidonic acid by cyclo-oxygenase-1 and cyclo-oxygenase-2: implications for cellular synthesis of prostaglandin E1 and prostaglandin E2.
Prostaglandin (PG) E(1) has been shown to possess anti-inflammatory properties and to modulate vascular reactivity. These activities are sometimes distinct from those of PGE(2), suggesting that endogenously produced PGE(1) may have some beneficial therapeutic effects compared with PGE(2). Increasing the endogenous formation of PGE(1) requires optimization of two separate processes, namely, enri...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of lipoxygenase and cyclo-oxygenase products from [14C]-arachidonic acid by human colonic mucosa.
The human colon synthetises several prostanoids which may have a role in inflammatory bowel diseases. As lipoxygenase products of arachidonate metabolism have been implicated in inflammatory processes, we have now investigated the formation of both lipoxygenase and cyclo-oxygenase metabolites from [14C]-arachidonic acid [(14C]-AA) by human colonic tissue. Homogenates of human colonic mucosa wer...
متن کاملStructure of the human cyclo-oxygenase-2 gene.
Cyclo-oxygenase (Cox), a rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of prostanoids, is encoded by two genes, Cox-1 and Cox-2, which are differentially expressed and regulated. Human Cox-1 and -2 polypeptides share 61% primary sequence identity. While the expression of Cox-1 is maximal in quiescent cells. Cox-2 expression is induced by growth factors and cytokines. We have screened a human genomic li...
متن کاملLocalization of cyclo-oxygenase-2 in human recurrent colorectal cancer.
AIM The aim of this paper is to examine COX-2 expression in human recurrent colorectal carcinoma tissues using immunohistochemistry and quantative real-time PCR (qPCR). METHODS Colon and rectal specimens were obtained from 26 patients with recurrent colorectal carcinomas. We examined COX-2 expression in human recurrent colorectal carcinoma tissues using immunohistochemistry and quantative rea...
