## Abstract ## Background Cyclooxygenase (COX)β2 is believed to be an important enzyme related to the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer (CRC). p53 has been reported to be a negative regulator of COXβ2 expression in in vitro studies. The aim of this study was to investigate COXβ2 expression and its
## Abstract Previous studies from our laboratory and others have suggested that increased expression of __coxβ2__ is important in the genesis of esophageal adenocarcinoma. __In vitro__ studies suggest that __coxβ2__ regulates expression of the antiβapoptotic protein bclβ2, thus possibly accounting
