Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is associated with tumour promotion, inhibition of apoptosis, angiogenesis and metastasis. Celecoxib, a selective COX-2 inhibitor was investigated, in patients with clinically localized prostate cancer using immunohistochemistry.
Patients with cT1-2 prostate cancer (n=45) were randomized to celecoxib 400mg b.d. or no treatment for four weeks prior to radical prostatectomy. Histological sections of preoperative biopsy and matched radical prostatectomy specimens were stained for markers of cell proliferation (MIB-1/Ki-67), microvessel density (CD-31 with Weidner scoring), COX-2, apoptosis (TUNEL analysis), angiogenic factors (VEGF and KDR) and HIF-1.
Celecoxib decreased tumour cell proliferation, microvessel density, angiogenesis and HIF-1 whilst enhancing apoptosis. These effects approached statistical significance in a multivariate model and the cell proliferation index approached statistical significance on univariate analysis.
In this pilot study a 4 week regimen of celecoxib resulted in measurable biological effects in prostate cancer tissue. These findings warrant further investigation.
环氧化酶-2(COX-2)与肿瘤促进、细胞凋亡抑制、血管生成和转移相关。使用免疫组织化学方法,对临床局限性前列腺癌患者研究了选择性COX-2抑制剂塞来昔布。
cT1-2期前列腺癌患者(n = 45)在根治性前列腺切除术前行随机分组,一组服用塞来昔布400mg,每日两次,另一组不治疗,为期四周。术前活检和配对的根治性前列腺切除术标本的组织学切片进行细胞增殖标志物(MIB-1/Ki-67)、微血管密度(采用魏德纳评分的CD-31)、COX-2、细胞凋亡(TUNEL分析)、血管生成因子(VEGF和KDR)以及HIF-1染色。
塞来昔布可降低肿瘤细胞增殖、微血管密度、血管生成和HIF-1,同时增强细胞凋亡。在多变量模型中这些效应接近统计学意义,在单变量分析中细胞增殖指数接近统计学意义。
在这项初步研究中,为期4周的塞来昔布治疗方案在前列腺癌组织中产生了可测量的生物学效应。这些发现值得进一步研究。
