摘要: The bioactive lipid prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is involved in several steps of carcinogenesis some the most common cancers, e.g. colon cancer, lung prostate cancer and breast cancer. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) that target cyclooxygenase (COX) activity, first step PGE2 biosynthesis, has been found to reduce incidence Due severe adverse effects on gastrointestinal tract cardiovascular system, their use as chemopreventing agent hampered. Genetic deletion microsomal E synthase-1 (mPGES-1), enzyme responsible for second resulted reduced tumor progression mouse models Inhibition mPGES-1 would potentially be beneficial a great number patients without side associated with long-term treatment traditional NSAIDs.
