Altered expression of the mRNA stability factor HuR promotes cyclooxygenase-2 expression in colon cancer cells
1 Dec 2001
Abstract excerpt
Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression is normally tightly regulated. However, constitutive overexpression plays a key role in colon carcinogenesis. To understand the molecular nature of enhanced COX-2 expression detected in colon cancer, we examined the ability of the AU-rich element-containing (ARE-containing) 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of COX-2 mRNA to regulate rapid mRNA decay in human colon cancer cells. In...
