Over-expression of COX-2 mRNA in colorectal cancer
BACKGROUND Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2, PTGS2) is an enzyme involved in the synthesis of prostaglandins and thromboxanes, which are regulators of biologic processes such as inflammation, cell proliferation and angiogenesis. COX-2 over-expression was reported in many (pre) malignant tissues, but data strongly vary and seem to depend on the methodology used. METHODS Normal colorectal mucosa and pai...
متن کاملEvaluation of Expression of EGFR, HER-2 and COX-2 in Colorectal Cancer
Background and objective: EGFR and HER-2 are two members of ERbB/HER family of Type I Transmembrane growth factor receptors. Cox2 is an enzyme responsible for the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins, which has a major role in angiogenesis and can modelate tumor growth. The aim of this study was to determine the level of expression of EGFR, HER-2 and Cox2 in colorectd cancer. Mater...

متن کاملInvestigating the CTGF mRNA Expression Level in Patients with Colorectal Cancer
Background: The Connective Tissue Growth Factor (CTGF) gene encoding an extracellular matrix (ECM)-associated protein and as a member of the CCN family of proteins plays a major role in fibrosis, inflammation and connective tissue remodeling in a variety of diseases including cancer. The CCN proteins are multifunctional and are involved in cell proliferation, adhesion and cell development durin...
متن کاملst6gal1, cox-2 and hb-egf mrna expression in breast cancer samples from kashan, iran
background : st6gal1, cox-2 and hb-egf genes are involved in different tumors and their enhanced expressions often correlate with poor prognosis. in this study we assay the expressions of these genes by reverse transcriptase-pcr in 54 breast cancer samples. methods : tissue samples were either formalin-fixed for histopathological examination or frozen for reverse transcriptase-pcr. image progra...
