PTGS2 — VIP

Text-mined interactions from Literome

Fernández-Martínez et al., Mol Cell Endocrinol 2007 (Disease Progression...) : The effect of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) on cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression was analyzed in human prostate non-neoplastic ( RWPE-1 ) as well as cancer androgen dependent ( LNCaP ) and independent ( PC3 ) cells ... Furthermore, VIP induced higher levels of COX-2 protein expression in cancer cells as compared with non-neoplastic cells ... The anti-inflammatory agent curcumin blocked VIP induced COX-2 expression in all cell lines studied supporting the involvement of nuclear factor-kappaB (NFkappaB) in such a response ... These results together with the existence of two NFkappaB sites in the COX-2 gene promoter together suggest that COX-2 may be a target for VIP in prostate cancer progression
Gonzalez-Rey et al., Brain Behav Immun 2008 (Inflammation) : In this work we show the inhibitory effect of VIP on COX-2 expression and subsequent production of PGE2 by macrophages, dendritic cells, and microglia activated with different inflammatory stimuli
Fernández-Martínez et al., Peptides 2009 (Prostatic Neoplasms) : The regulatory role of VIP on cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF ) expression as well as on matrix metalloproteinase-2 and 9 ( MMP-2 and 9 ) activities was examined
