It is known that cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 expression is increased in Barrett's esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinomas. We studied COX-2 expression and the effect sulindac has on the genesis of Barrett's esophagus and adenocarcinoma in rats undergoing esophagogastroduodenal anastomosis (EGDA).
Fifty-one rats were divided into a control group (n=27), a 500 ppm sulindac-treated group (n=15) and 1000 ppm sulindac-treated group (n=9). Randomly selected rats were killed by diethyl ether inhalation at 20 and 40 weeks after surgery.
At 40 weeks, rats treated with 1000 ppm sulindac showed narrower esophageal diameter and milder inflammation than the control rats. At 40 weeks, the incidence of Barrett's esophagus was similar between control and sulindac-treated groups, but the incidence of adenocarcinoma was significantly lower in the 1000 ppm sulindac-treated group than either the control or 500 ppm sulindac-treated groups. COX-2 was significantly increased in the lower esophagus of control rats killed at 40 weeks. Cyclin D1 expression was negligible in the sulindac- treated group compared with the control group.
We suggest that the chemopreventive effect of sulindac is related to decreased COX-2 and cyclin D1 expression, which may be influenced by reduced inflammation.
已知环氧化酶(COX)-2在巴雷特食管和食管腺癌中表达增加。我们研究了COX-2的表达以及舒林酸对接受食管胃十二指肠吻合术(EGDA)的大鼠巴雷特食管和腺癌发生的影响。
51只大鼠分为对照组(n = 27)、500 ppm舒林酸治疗组(n = 15)和1000 ppm舒林酸治疗组(n = 9)。在术后20周和40周,通过吸入乙醚随机处死所选大鼠。
在40周时,接受1000 ppm舒林酸治疗的大鼠食管直径比对照大鼠窄,炎症也较轻。在40周时,对照组和舒林酸治疗组之间巴雷特食管的发生率相似,但1000 ppm舒林酸治疗组腺癌的发生率明显低于对照组或500 ppm舒林酸治疗组。在40周处死的对照大鼠的食管下段,COX-2显著增加。与对照组相比,舒林酸治疗组细胞周期蛋白D1的表达可忽略不计。
我们认为舒林酸的化学预防作用与COX-2和细胞周期蛋白D1表达降低有关,这可能受炎症减轻的影响。
