Abstract excerpt
Expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox-2) is elevated in gastric adenocarcinomas and precursor lesions leading to this disease. Mice deficient for trefoil factor 1 (TFF1) develop a pyloric adenoma with full penetrance. Because inhibition of Cox-2 suppresses tumor growth in several animal models, we studied expression of Cox-2 and effect of a selective Cox-2 inhibitor celecoxib in gastrointestinal tissues of the...
