Wnt-1 acts as a mammary oncogene when ectopically expressed in the mouse mammary gland. APC is a tumor suppressor gene, mutations in which cause intestinal tumorigenesis in humans and rodents. Both Wnt-1 expression and APC mutation activate a common signaling pathway involving transcriptional activation mediated by beta-catenin/Tcf complexes, but few targets relevant to carcinogenesis have yet ...

This study aimed to examine the chemical composition of wheat germ oil extracted by three different methods, and evaluate its inhibitory effect on cyclooxygenase proteinase activities. The results showed that contents policosanols, tocopherols phytosterols were affected extraction procedure. However, fatty acid extracts was nearly same. Among tested oils samples, cold pressed exhibited stronges...

introduction: the inflammatory response requires a coordinated integration of various signaling pathway including cyclooxygenase (cox). cox catalyzes the formation of prostaglandins from arachidonic acid. among prostaglandins, 15-deoxy-d12, 14-prostaglandin j2 (15d-pgj2), an endogenous ligand of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (ppar-γ), has been demonstrated to have anti-inflam...

BACKGROUND In breast cancer cyclooxygenase-2 overexpression is related with poor outcomes, but the clinical relevance of cyclooxygenase-2 is still unclear. Progesterone receptor is a regulator of cyclooxygenase-2 expression. We postulate that progesterone receptor was associated to cyclooxygenase-2 expression and clinicopathologic factors in breast cancer. METHODS Cyclooxygenase-2 and progest...

BACKGROUND Cyclooxygenase-2 selective inhibitors have been developed to alleviate pain and inflammation; however, the use of a selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor is associated with mild edema, hypertension, and cardiovascular risk. AIM To evaluate, in an experimental model in normotensive rats, the effect of treatment with parecoxib in comparison with diclofenac and aspirin and L-NAME, a no...

Many cosubstrates for the peroxidase activity of prostaglandin H synthase-1 (PGHS-1) have been reported to produce a large (2-7-fold) increase in the cyclooxygenase velocity in addition to a substantial increase in the number of cyclooxygenase catalytic turnovers. The large stimulation of cyclooxygenase velocity has become an important criterion for evaluation of putative PGHS reaction mechanis...

We attempt to investigate the improvement of clinical efficacy amoxicillin-clavulanate potassium combined with Shenling Baizhu powder in treating gastric ulcer patients Helicobacter pylori infection and effect on related serum indexes. selected 90 complicated our hospital from January 2019 May 2021 randomly divided them into observation group (45 cases treated amoxicillin clavulanate powder) co...

Cyclooxygenases-1 and -2 are both expressed in neuronal cells in vivo. In the neuroblastoma cell lines NG108 and N2a, however, only cyclooxygenase-1 was detectable. Differentiation of the cells with retinoic acid increased cyclooxygenase-1 mRNA and protein expression within 24 and 48 h, respectively. A further increase was observed when the cells were concomitantly treated with the glucocortico...

Prostaglandins contribute to the regulation of renin synthesis and secretion. We tested the hypothesis that the inducible isoform of prostaglandin G/H synthase, cyclooxygenase-2, contributes to the stimulation of renin synthesis in renovascular hypertension. The expression of cyclooxygenase-2 and renin was investigated in the kidneys of rats with two-kidney, one-clip renovascular hypertension o...
