摘要

Two isoforms of cyclooxygenase (COX) participate in growth control; COX-1 is constitutively expressed in most cells, and COX-2 is an inducible enzyme in response to cellular stimuli. An induction of COX-2 found in neoplastic tissues results in increased cell growth, inhibition of apoptosis, activation of angiogenesis, and decreased immune responsiveness. Although both COX-1 and COX-2 inhibitors are suppressors of cell proliferation and appear to be chemopreventive agents for tumorigenesis, the molecular mechanisms mediating antiproliferative effect of COX inhibitors are still not well defined. This study contrasts and compares the effects of aspirin and celecoxib, inhibitors of COX-1 and COX-2, in rat hepatoma HTC-IR cells. The following were assessed: cell proliferation and apoptosis, ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity, and pattern expression of three immediate-early genes, c-myc, Egr-1, and c-fos. We have shown that the treatment of hepatocytes in vitro with the selective COX-2 inhibitor, celecoxib, was associated with induction of apoptosis and complete inhibition of cellular proliferation. Aspirin exhibited a small antiproliferative effect that was not associated with apoptosis. Treatment with celecoxib produced dose- and time-dependent decrease in ODC activity. In addition, at higher drug concentration the decrease in ODC activity was greater in proliferating than in resting cells. Much lesser inhibitory effect on ODC activity was observed in aspirin-treated cells. The two COX inhibitors did not change c-myc expression, significantly decreased the expression of Egr-1, and differentially altered expression of c-fos; aspirin did not change, but celecoxib dramatically decreased the levels of c-fos-mRNA. Our study revealed that celecoxib and aspirin share the ability to inhibit ODC activity and alter the pattern of immediate-early gene expression. It seems that some of the observed effects are likely to be related to COX-independent pathways. The precise mechanisms of action of COX inhibitors should be defined before using these drugs for cancer chemopreventive therapy.
