Abstract:
:Growth factors upregulate cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) activity, yet little is known regarding the interaction between COX-2 and ERK in terms of mitogenic signal transduction pathways in gastric epithelial cells. Therefore, we examined the role of COX-2 in EGF-induced proliferation of gastric epithelial RGM1 cells. EGF treatment significantly induced ERK activity (peaked at 30 min) and significantly increased COX-2 protein (peaked at 6 hr), production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), and cell proliferation. MEK inhibitor (PD98059) decreased ERK activity and cell proliferation induced by EGF. The selective COX-2 inhibitor (NS-398) significantly reduced EGF-induced cell proliferation. Exogenous PGE2 partly reversed the NS-398-induced inhibitory action on cell proliferation, clearly indicating the importance of PGE2 in mitogenic pathway. The induction of COX-2 protein by EGF was completely blocked by preincubation with MEK inhibitor. These results suggest that the ERK-COX-2 pathway is critical for EGF-induced proliferation of gastric epithelial cells.
