The FHIT gene is known to be susceptible to environmental carcinogens. Formation of prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) is catalyzed by cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and may influence malignant phenotype in colorectal cancer. We explored whether FHIT might play a role in progression of colorectal cancer through
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major cause of chronic hepatitis that can lead to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. To study the effects of HCV protein expression on host cells, we established conditional expression of the full-length open reading frame (ORF) of an infectious cDNA clone of HCV
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are used to reduce inflammation and as analgesics by inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2. At higher concentrations, some NSAIDs inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis of cancer cells. Although several molecular mechanisms have been postulated to explain
