COX-2 gene expression in colon cancer tissue related to regulating factors and promoter methylation status
13 Jun 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Increased cyclooxygenase activity promotes progression of colorectal cancer, but the mechanisms behind COX-2 induction remain elusive. This study was therefore aimed to define external cell signaling and transcription factors relating to high COX-2 expression in colon cancer tissue. METHOD: Tumor and normal colon tissue were collected at primary curative operation in 48 unselected patients. COX-2...
