The inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) production is considered to be a promising approach to the treatment of various diseases, including inflammation and cancer. In this study, we examined the effects of the Agrocybe chaxingu beta-glucan (polysaccharide) on lipopolysaccaride (LPS)-induced nitric oxide (NO) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression in murine macrophage ...
Methamphetamine causes persistent damage to dopamine nerve endings of the striatum. The mechanisms underlying its neurotoxicity are not fully understood, but considerable evidence points to oxidative stress as a probable mechanism. A recent microarray analysis of gene expression changes caused by methamphetamine revealed that cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) was induced along with its transcription fac...
INTRODUCTION The expression of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) is usually increased in inflammation and cancer. This study examines the expression of COX-2 in the lung of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with lung cancer. METHODS We studied 44 male patients with bronchial cancer (27 squamous carcinoma and 17 adenocarcinoma). Samples were obtained from the pulmonary parenchyma, f...
PURPOSE Prostanoids are important mediators of pulmonary vaso- and bronchotone regulation and strongly influence inflammatory reactivity. The product of cyclooxygenase (Cox), prostaglandin H(2), is further metabolized via downstream enzymes into the different effective metabolites. The specific cellular equipment with certain downstream enzymes crucially determines the cellular reactivity by ge...
celecoxib is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (nsaid) developed as a selective inhibitor of cyclooxygenase-2 (cox-2) for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis disease. recently some other mechanisms have been identified for anti cancer activity of these agents including induction of apoptosis, inhibition of tumor vascularization, stimulation of antitumor immune responses and inhibition of...
Cyclooxygenase (COX) is the key enzyme within the complex conversion of arachidonic acid into prostaglandins (PGs). Inhibitors of this enzyme represent a particularly promising class of compounds for chemoprevention and cancer therapy. The experimental data on the involvement of COX isoform COX-2 in tumour development and progression, as well as the observed overexpression of COX-2 in a variety...
Background and purpose: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) remain among the most widely prescribed drugs worldwide for the treatment of inflammation including pain-releasing, anti-pyretic and rheumatoid arthritis. The conventional NSAIDs exert their effects by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes. Subsequent research and rational drug design validated the initial concept that a ...
Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) fluorescent probes are promising tools for early diagnosis of cancer. Traditionally, COX-2 were designed by connecting two parts, a fluorophore and binding unit, via flexible linker. Herein, new class COX-2-specific have been developed one-step modification from rofecoxib an integrative approach to combine the unit into one. Among them, several analogues not only exhibi...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and Microsomal Prostaglandin E2 Synthase-1 (mPGES-1) catalyze isomerization of the cyclooxygenase product PGH2 into PGE2. Deletion of COX-2/mPGES-1 suppresses carotid artery atherogenesis and angiotensin II-induced aortic aneurysms formation, and attenuates neointimal hyperplasia after vascular injury in mice. The upregulation of COX-2/mPGES-1 in ...
Cyclooxygenase (COX), also known as prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase, is the key enzyme required for the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins. Two COX isoforms have been identifi ed, COX-1 and COX-2. Generally, the COX-1 enzyme is produced constitutively (e.g. in gastric mucosa), whereas COX-2 is highly inducible (e.g. at sites of infl ammation and cancer). Traditional non-steroi...
