Activity of receptor-bound urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) on the surface of colon cancer cells appears to be a function of the number of uPA receptors. The regulation of uPA therefore may determine the invasive phenotype. The effects of amiloride on the modulation of uPA mRNA and protein indu
Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) over-expression is critically involved in tumor formation. Intracellular pH (pHi) has been shown to be alkaline in cancer cells, and to be an important trigger for cell proliferation. This study therefore analyzed the relationship between pHi and COX-2 expression. HRT-18 and
