## Abstract Cyclooxygenase (COX)‐2 derived prostaglandins (PGs) play a major role in intestinal inflammation and colorectal carcinogenesis. Because COX‐2 is the rate‐limiting step in the production of PGs, mechanisms that regulate COX‐2 expression control PG production in the cell. Using the non‐tu
Over-expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) has been demonstrated to be tumorigenic in transgenic mice. Chronic treatment with NSAIDs is chemoprotective for colorectal cancer. Gastrin is a growth factor for gastric mucosa and has been shown to promote proliferation of colorectal cells. Recent studie
IL-4 also decreased expression of CD14, which is the LPS-LPS-binding protein (LBP) receptor. Down-regulation of this receptor correlated with decreased expression of PGHS-2 and release of PGEz. MATERIALS AND METHODS ## Reagents Recombinant human IL-1p and recombinant human IL-4 were purchased fr
