Overexpression of cyclooxygenase-2 in NCI-H292 human alveolar epithelial carcinoma cells: Roles of p38 MAPK, ERK-1/2, and PI3K/PKB signaling proteins

Abstract: Evidence suggests overexpression of COX-2 and its role in many human cancers, including lung. However, the regulatory mechanism underlying COX-2 overexpression in lung cancer is not fully understood. We herein investigated whether COX-2 is overexpressed in human airway cancer cell lines, including A549 (lung), Hep-2 (bronchial), and NCI-H292 (alveolar). When grown in cell culture medium containing 10% FBS (serum), of note, there was strong and transient induction of COX-2 protein and mRNA in NCI-H292 cells, bu… Show more

“…In H292 cells, culture medium containing 10% serum alone (without LPS) strongly up-regulates COX-2 expression (34). Here 2% FBS was used to reduce, but not eliminate, the background signaling for which serum components are co-factors and to demonstrate the suppression of LPS-stimulated signaling by heparin.…”

“…COX-1 is up-regulated in cervical, ovarian and gallbladder cancers [1]. COX-2, which is normally undetectable in healthy tissue, is markedly over-expressed in colorectal, lung [76], prostate [77], cervical [78], ovarian [79], breast, gastric, pancreatic [80] and certain head and neck squamous cell [81] cancers. In the following paragraphs, we will examine the involvements of COXs in tumor initiation and progression in more depth.…”
