Journal ArticleDOI
Induction of vascular endothelial growth factor expression in synovial fibroblasts by prostaglandin E and interleukin‐1: a potential mechanism for inflammatory angiogenesis
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that PGE2 and IL‐1 induces the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a selective angiogenic factor by rheumatoid synovial fibroblast cells, suggesting that signalling from the EP2 receptor via the protein kinase A pathway is important.
Journal Article
Non-small cell lung cancer cycloxygenase activity and proliferation are inhibited by non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs
Toyoaki Hida,J. Leyton,Makheja An,Pazit Ben-Av,Timothy Hla,Alfredo Martínez,James L. Mulshine,Malkani S,P. Chung,Terry W. Moody +9 more
TL;DR: Data suggest that COX enzymes may be important regulatory components of NSCLC, and the effects of non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dissociation of Basal Turnover and Cytokine-Induced Transcript Stabilization of the Human Cyclooxygenase-2 mRNA by Mutagenesis of the 3′-Untranslated Region☆☆☆
TL;DR: Three distinct regions of the 3'-UTR of the Cox-2 transcript are involved in the regulation of basal and cytokine-induced mRNA metabolism, indicating that it determines mRNA stability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prostaglandin E2 and vasoactive intestinal peptide increase vascular endothelial cell growth factor mRNAs in lung cancer cells.
Marchessini Casibang,Sally Purdom,Sonia B. Jakowlew,Len Neckers,Farah Zia,Pazit Ben-Av,Timothy Hla,Liang You,David M. Jablons,Terry W. Moody +9 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that VEGF synthesis in and secretion from lung cancer cells can be regulated by agents, which cause adenylyl cyclase activation.
Book ChapterDOI
Role of the Early Response Gene Cyclooxygenase (Cox)-2 in Angiogenesis
Timothy Hla,Ari Ristimäki,Kirsi Narko,Pazit Ben-Av,Menq-Jer Lee,Mark Evans,Catherine Liu,Hajime Sano +7 more
TL;DR: Data suggest that the dysregulated expression of the early response gene Cox-2 is an important component of many proliferative diseases and that induction of angiogenesis may be a critical component.
