Expression of 15-Lipoxygenase by Human Colorectal Carcinoma Caco-2 Cells during Apoptosis and Cell Differentiation
1 Aug 1998
Abstract excerpt
We studied arachidonic acid metabolism and the expression of cyclooxygenase (Cox) and 15-lipoxygenase (15-LO) in the human colorectal carcinoma cell line, Caco-2, which undergo apoptosis and cell differentiation in the presence of sodium butyrate (NaBT). Caco-2 cells expressed very low levels of Cox-1 but highly expressed Cox-2. NaBT treatment shifted the arachidonic acid metabolites by cell lysates from...
