However, the precise mechanism of these actions remains unknown. We have evaluated the role of an inducible cyclo-oxygenase (COX-2) in tumor-associated angiogenesis and tumor growth, and identified the downstream molecules involved using a ddy mouse model of sponge angiogenesis, which mimics tumor angiogenesis and is COX-2 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) dependent. In this model, VEGF expression was down-regulated by selective COX-2 inhibition with NS-398. To find out the involvement of COX-2/VEGF pathway in tumor-associated angiogenesis, we estimated angiogenesis occurring around implanted Millipore chambers containing sarcoma-180 (S-180) cells or Lewis lung carcinoma cells. Daily oral administration of NS-398 or of aspirin, a nonselective COX inhibitor, suppressed angiogenesis seen around the Millipore chambers. S-180 cells implanted in ddy mice formed substantial tumors with extensive angiogenesis markedly suppressed by aspirin and COX-2 inhibitors NS-398 and JTE522, but not by mofezolac, an inhibitor of constitutive COX-1. Tumor-associated angiogenesis was also significantly suppressed by a neutralizing antibody against VEGF. S-180 tumor growth in the subcutaneous tissues was also suppressed by aspirin, COX-2 selective inhibitors, and the VEGF antibody, but not by the COX-1 inhibitor. These results demonstrate that the inhibition of the COX-2/VEGF-dependent pathway was effective in tumor-associated angiogenesis, tumor growth, and tumor metastasis.

Orabona 4, I-70125 Bari, Italy; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +39-080-544-2788 Received: 4 September 2018; Accepted: 9 October 2018; Published: 11 October 2018 Abstract: Prostaglandins and thromboxane are lipid signaling molecules deriving from arachidonic acid by the action of the cyclooxygenase isoenzymes COX-1 and COX-2. The role of cyclooxygenases (particularly COX-2) and prostaglandins (particularly PGE2) in cancer-related inflammation has been extensively investigated. In contrast, COX-1 has received less attention, although its expression increases in several human cancers and a pathogenetic role emerges from experimental models. COX-1 and COX-2 isoforms seem to operate in a coordinate manner in cancer pathophysiology, especially in the tumorigenesis process. However, in some cases, exemplified by the serous ovarian carcinoma, COX-1 plays a pivotal role, suggesting that other histopathological and molecular subtypes of cancer disease could share this feature. Importantly, the analysis of functional implications of COX-1-signaling, as well as of pharmacological action of COX-1-selective inhibitors, should not be restricted to the COX pathway and to the effects of prostaglandins already known for their ability of affecting the tumor phenotype. A knowledge-based choice of the most appropriate tumor cell models, and a major effort in investigating the COX-1 issue in the more general context of arachidonic acid metabolic network by using the systems biology approaches, should be strongly encouraged.

  • Cyclooxygenase
    COX Cyclooxygenase Cyclooxygenase (COX), officially known as prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase (PTGS), is an enzyme that is responsible for formation of important biological mediators called prostanoids, including prostaglandins, prostacyclin and thromboxane. Pharmacological inhibition of COX can provide relief from the symptoms of inflammation and pain. Drugs, like Aspirin, that inhibit cyclooxygenase activity have been available to the public for about 100 years. Two cyclooxygenase isoforms have been identified and are referred to as COX-1 and COX-2. Under many circumstances the COX-1 enzyme is produced constitutively (i.e., gastric mucosa) whereas COX-2 is inducible (i.e., sites of inflammation). Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), such as aspirin and ibuprofen, exert their effects through inhibition of COX. The main COX inhibitors are the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). www.MedChemExpress.com 1 COX Inhibitors, Antagonists, Activators & Modulators (+)-Catechin hydrate (-)-Catechin Cat.

Using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis, it has been proven that varying the reaction conditions using alkaline hydrolysis of methyl 4-methyl-2,2-dioxo-1H-2λ6,1-benzothiazine-3-carboxylate makes it possible to successfully synthesize a monohydrate of the target acid, its sodium salt, or 4-methyl-2,2-dioxo-1H-2λ6,1-benzothiazine.
