Abstract excerpt
The inducible inflammatory enzyme cycloxigenase-2 is up-regulated in cancer, and favors tumor progression. Cycloxigenase-2 is encoded by the prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2) gene, which presents sequence variations in the promoter region (PR) and in the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR). Different PR (rs689465, rs689466, rs20417) and 3'-UTR (rs5275) variants were generated by site-directed mutagenesis,...
