Prostaglandins: Critical roles in pregnancy and colon cancer
نویسنده
چکیده
Cyclooxygenase catalyses a key step in prostaglandin biosynthesis, and recent work suggests that one isoenzyme, COX-2, has important roles in early stages of pregnancy; it also appears to be involved in the somewhat analogous process of colon tumor formation and spread.

Compare the effect of ginger extract and aspirin on COX-2 gene expression in colon cancer cell line HT-29
Background and aim: Colon cancer is the third most prevalent cancer in Iran. Prolonged colon inflammation is an important factor, in the development of colon cancer. Ginger has anti-inflammatory properties due to its content of [6]-gingerol and hence can play a role in the prevention of colon cancer. In this research the effects of ginger extract on reducing expression of the C...

متن کاملRoles of Renin-Angiotensin System in the Regulation of Prostate Cancer Bone Metastasis: A Critical Review
Mestastatic prostate cancer cells (MPCCs) frequently metastasize to bone, which is a “favorite soil” for colonization and proliferation of MPCCs. Prostate cancer bone mestastasis is tightly associated with tumor-induced bone lesions, most commonly caused from the etiological imbalance between osteoblastic bone formation and osteoclastic bone resorption, and from the anti-tumor immune response. ...

Abstract Background: Two types of Cyclooxygenase enzymes, which produce prostaglandins, are present in humans. Prostaglandins play a role in the functions of various organs including the immune system, blood circulation, and cell division. Reports indicate that the level of these enzymes is increased in patients with metastases in several malignancies, including larynx, lung, stomach, colon, an...
متن کاملThe 2-Series Eicosanoids in Cancer: Future Targets for Glioma Therapy?
The 2-series eicosanoids are structurally related lipid-soluble hormones synthesized by cyclooxygenase enzymes from arachidonic acid. These compounds have well-established roles in the inflammatory response and the coagulation cascade. More recently, the eicosanoids have garnered attention for their potential roles in cancers of the lung, colon, breast, and brain. In this paper, we review the c...
