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
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. Lipoxygenases (__LOX__) are major enzymes that metabolize arachidonic acid to hydroxylβeicosatetraenoic acids and leukotrienes, which have been implicated in inflammation and colorectal cancer risk. Polymorphisms in __LOX__ genes may influence their function and/or expre
