ANGPTL4 Induction by Prostaglandin E2 under Hypoxic Conditions Promotes Colorectal Cancer Progression
22 Sept 2011
Abstract excerpt
Prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)), the most abundant COX-2-derived prostaglandin found in colorectal cancer, promotes tumor cell proliferation and survival via multiple signaling pathways. However, the role of PGE(2) in tumor hypoxia is not well understood. Here, we show a synergistic effect of PGE(2) and hypoxia on enhancing angiopoietin-like protein 4 (ANGPTL4) expression and that elevation of ANGPTL4 promotes...
