Expression of PTGS2 along with genes regulating VEGF signalling pathway and association with high‐risk factors in locally advanced oral squamous cell carcinoma

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: PTGS2 encodes cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), which catalyses the committed step in prostaglandin synthesis. Various in vivo and in vitro data suggest that COX-2 mediates the VEGF signalling pathway. In silico analysis performed in TCGA, PanCancer Atlas for head and neck cancers, demonstrated significant expression and co-expression of PTGS2 and genes that regulate VEGF signalling. This study was designed...
