Abstract excerpt
Expression and pharmacological studies support a contribution of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 to mammary gland tumorigenesis. In a recent transgenic study, mouse mammary tumor virus promoter-driven COX-2 expression in mouse mammary glands was shown to result in alveolar hyperplasia, dysplasia, and carcinomas after multiple rounds of pregnancy and lactation. In the study presented here, the effects of constitutive COX-2...
