Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: COX-2 and E-cadherin, involved in invasion and metastasis, are molecules critical for gastric carcinogenesis. A relationship between them is documented in non-small cell lung and prostate cancer. We present novel evidence of a relationship between COX-2 and E-cadherin expression in gastric cancer. METHODS: Using qPCR and Western blots analysis on celecoxib and PGE2 treated and untreated gastric cancer...
