Elevated tumor cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 activity plays a multifaceted role in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). To elucidate the role of COX-2 in the in vitro and in vivo expression of two known NSCLC angiogenic peptides, CXC ligand (CXCL) 8 and CXCL5, we studied two COX-2 gene-modified NSCLC cell lines, A549 and H157. COX-2 overexpression enhanced the in vitro expression of both CXCL8 and CXCL5. In contrast, specific COX-2 inhibition decreased the production of both peptides as well as nuclear translocation of nuclear factor kappaB. In a severe combined immunodeficient mouse model of human NSCLC, the enhanced tumor growth of COX-2-overexpressing tumors was inhibited by neutralizing anti-CXCL5 and anti-CXCL8 antisera. We conclude that COX-2 contributes to the progression of NSCLC tumorigenesis by enhancing the expression of angiogenic chemokines CXCL8 and CXCL5.
肿瘤中环氧化酶(COX)-2活性升高在非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)中发挥多方面作用。为阐明COX-2在两种已知的NSCLC血管生成肽CXC配体(CXCL)8和CXCL5的体外和体内表达中的作用,我们研究了两种COX-2基因修饰的NSCLC细胞系A549和H157。COX-2过表达增强了CXCL8和CXCL5的体外表达。相反,特异性COX-2抑制降低了这两种肽的产生以及核因子κB的核转位。在人NSCLC的严重联合免疫缺陷小鼠模型中,中和抗CXCL5和抗CXCL8抗血清可抑制COX-2过表达肿瘤的增强肿瘤生长。我们得出结论,COX-2通过增强血管生成趋化因子CXCL8和CXCL5的表达促进NSCLC肿瘤发生的进展。
