Potential Role of Microsomal Prostaglandin E Synthase-1 in Tumorigenesis
1 May 2003
Abstract excerpt
Microsomal prostaglandin E2 synthase-1 (mPGES-1) is a stimulus-inducible enzyme that functions downstream of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 in the PGE2-biosynthetic pathway. Given the accumulating evidence that COX-2-derived PGE2 participates in the development of various tumors, including colorectal cancer, we herein examined the potential involvement of mPGES-1 in tumorigenesis. Immunohistochemical analyses...
