Recent epidemiologic studies have shown a 40-50% reduction in
mortality from colorectal cancer in individuals who take nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs on a regular basis compared with those not
taking these agents. One property shared by all of these drugs is their
ability to inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX), a key enzyme in the conversion
of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins. Two isoforms of COX have been
characterized, COX-1 and COX-2. COX-2 is expressed at high levels in
intestinal tumors in humans and rodents. Human colon cancer cells
(Caco-2) were permanently transfected with a COX-2 expression vector or
the identical vector lacking the COX-2 insert. The Caco-2 cells, which
constitutively expressed COX-2, acquired increased invasiveness
compared with the parental Caco-2 cells or the vector transfected
control cells. Biochemical changes associated with this phenotypic
change included activation of metalloproteinase-2 and increased
RNA levels for the membrane-type metalloproteinase. Increased
invasiveness and prostaglandin production were reversed by treatment
with sulindac sulfide, a known COX inhibitor. These studies demonstrate
that constitutive expression of COX-2 can lead to phenotypic changes
that alter the metastatic potential of colorectal cancer cells.
