## Abstract Cyclooxygenase 2 (COXโ2) has been suggested to be associated with liver carcinogenesis. Several reports have shown that NSAIDs inhibit the growth of hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines. There is little evidence of how COXโ2 inhibitors regulate the proliferation of hepatocellular carcino

We determined the effect of the highly selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor NS-398 on proliferation, apoptosis and COX-2 regulation in 3 pre-malignant human colorectal adenoma cell lines (RG/C2, AA/C1, RR/C1) and compared its effect on 3 colorectal carcinoma cell lines (HT29, KS, JW2). COX-2
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can induce tumor cells to undergo apoptosis in vitro. They have also shown cancer-preventive activity in vivo. The mechanism of their effects is, however, not well defined. We investigated the mechanism by which a new NSAID, NS398, induces apoptosis in
