## Abstract The __HER‐2/neu__ oncogene encodes a 185 kD protein that is phosphorylated upon ligand binding to other HER/erbB members and regulates cell growth and differentiation. Given that HER‐2 receptor blockade can inhibit the growth of colon cancer cell lines and tumor xenografts, we investiga

Cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 is one of the rate-limiting enzymes in the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins and other eicosanoids. Recent studies have shown enhanced expression of COX-2 in cancer cells of several tissues. We investigated the expression of COX-2 and prostaglandin (PG) E 2 prod
## Abstract Accumulating evidence indicates that androgens and the androgen receptor modulate the development and progression of breast adenocarcinoma; however, the precise role and actions remain poorly defined. We examined previously the steroid hormone regulation of 2 known androgen‐regulated ka
## Abstract Ghrelin, a newly identified gastric peptide, is known for its potent activity in growth hormone release and appetite. Our recent study showed that ghrelin could stimulate protein kinase C‐mediated activation of nuclear factor‐κB (NF‐κB) and interleukin‐8 secretion in human colonic epith
## Abstract Cyclooxygenase‐2 (COX‐2) expression and peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor‐γ (PPARγ) inactivation are linked to increased risk of human breast cancer. The purpose of our study was to examine the relationship between COX‐2 (with the resulting prostaglandins E~2~, PGE~2~) and PPAR
