Cyclooxygenase‐2 Expression in Polyps From a Patient With Juvenile Polyposis Syndrome With Mutant BMPR1A

Abstract: Decreased expression of pSMAD1 in the cystic epithelium with further reduction in the adenomatous area, and increase in COX-2 expression within polyps from the BMPR1A heterozygote, suggest a potential mechanism for adenomatous pathogenesis in these hamartomatous polyps. This may imply that COX-2 inhibitors could be a means for chemoprevention in this syndrome.

“…Interestingly, although not significant, BMPR1A germline mutation carriers showed an increase in COX-2 expression compared with JPS patients without a detected germline mutation. These findings are in line with Kurland et al,32 who recently described high COX-2 expression in one patient carrying a BMPR1A mutation. JPS patients with a SMAD4 germline mutation on the other hand did not have increased COX-2 expression, even though SMAD4 germline mutation carriers have been described as possessing a more aggressive intestinal phenotype 15.…”

“…This mutation causes abnormal splicing between exons 3 and 4 and potentially alters PTEN phosphatase function 23. One patient diagnosed with JPS was found to carry a germline mutation in BMPR1A 28. DNA from 3 of the 4 remaining patients was sequenced for mutations in PTEN and SMAD4 and the dominant mutations in BMRP1A (1 patient was not available for DNA analysis).…”

“…23 One patient diagnosed with JPS was found to carry a germline mutation in BMPR1A. 28 We performed microdissection followed by microsatellite analysis on domains from familial hamartomatous polyps in an attempt to characterize the genetic pattern that could drive neoplastic pathogenesis or transformation. The numbers of domains (consisting of surface epithelium, cystic epithelium, and lamina propria) as well as the number of polyps examined are listed in Table 1.…”
