(Breast Neoplasms) :
COX-2 mediated stimulation of the lymphangiogenic factor
VEGF-C in human breast cancer ... Present study utilized several human breast cancer cell lines ( MCF-7, T-47D, Hs578T and MDA-MB-231, varying in COX-2 expression ) as well as 10 human breast cancer specimens to examine the
roles of
COX-2 and prostaglandin E ( EP ) receptors in
VEGF-C expression or secretion, and the relationship of COX-2 or VEGF-C expression to lymphangiogenesis ... These results, for the first time, demonstrate a regulatory
role of
COX-2 in
VEGF-C synthesis ( and thereby lymphangiogenesis ) in human breast cancer, which is mediated at least in part by EP1/EP4 receptors
Siironen et al., Endocr Relat Cancer 2006
(Carcinoma, Papillary...) :
In cell culture, this correlation was not so clear, because the
COX-2 selective inhibitor, NS-398, did not
reduce VEGF-C expression
Da et al., Arch Med Res 2008
(Lymphatic Metastasis...) :
COX-2 mediated
VEGF-C overexpression might promote lymphatic invasion via lymphangiogenesis pathway in patients with gastric cancer
Liu et al., Anat Rec (Hoboken) 2009
(Adenocarcinoma...) :
Taken together, our results suggest that the differential expression of COX-2 and VEGF-C might help explain the different metastasis phenotype of lung adenocarcinoma cancer, and that
COX-2 inhibitor
mediates VEGF-C to block lymphangiogenesis and lymph node metastasis
Chien et al., Carcinogenesis 2009
(MAP Kinase Signaling System...) :
COX-2 induction by
VEGF-C was also observed in other VEGF-R3 ( + ) human AML cell lines ( U937 and HL60 ) ... Blocking the p42/44 mitogen activated protein kinase ( MAPK ) pathway with the MAPK kinase inhibitor, PD 98059, failed to inhibit
VEGF-C mediated
COX-2 expression ... However,
VEGF-C induced
COX-2 upregulation was effectively abolished by overexpression of dominant negative c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) or treatment with the JNK inhibitor, SP 600125
Yi et al., Lin Chung Er Bi Yan Hou Tou Jing Wai Ke Za Zhi 2010
(Nasopharyngeal Neoplasms) :
LMP1 and
COX-2 may induce expression of VEGF-C directly or LMP1
induce expression of
VEGF-C by induce COX-2 expression, may contribute to lymph metastasis and develop NPC
Liu et al., Microvasc Res 2011
(Lymphatic Metastasis...) :
However, little is known about the
regulation of
VEGF-C by
COX-2 in cervical cancer ... In addition, we used the HeLa cervical cancer cell line to explore the in vitro
regulation of
VEGF-C by
COX-2 and its metabolite, PGE ( 2 ), using siRNA mediated gene silencing and EP receptor blockade
Yiannakopoulou et al., J Clin Pharmacol 2012
:
The few identified experimental trials indicated that aspirin and other NSAIDs inhibit lymphangiogenesis, with a potential decrease in metastatic spread, possibly through
COX-II dependent regulation of
VEGF-C expression
