Abstract

To explore the role of cyclooxygenase (COX) in endothelial cell migration and angiogenesis, we have used two in vitro model systems involving coculture of endothelial cells with colon carcinoma cells. COX-2-overexpressing cells produce prostaglandins, proangiogenic factors, and stimulate both endothelial migration and tube formation, while control cells have little activity. The effect is inhibited by antibodies to combinations of angiogenic factors, by NS-398 (a selective COX-2 inhibitor), and by aspirin. NS-398 does not inhibit production of angiogenic factors or angiogenesis induced by COX-2-negative cells. Treatment of endothelial cells with aspirin or a COX-1 antisense oligonucleotide inhibits COX-1 activity/expression and suppresses tube formation. Cyclooxygenase regulates colon carcinoma-induced angiogenesis by two mechanisms: COX-2 can modulate production of angiogenic factors by colon cancer cells, while COX-1 regulates angiogenesis in endothelial cells.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • HIF-1α-induced COX-2 expression leads to elevated PGE2 levels, which can induce PGE2-mediated vascularization.

    “HIF-1α-induced COX-2 expression leads to elevated PGE2 levels, which can induce PGE2-mediated vascularization [87,88].”

  • To ensure that the real-time PCR and Western blot analysis results refer to HESCs but not platelets, the HESCs co-cultured with platelets were washed with sterile PBS three times to remove the platelets.

    “To ensure that the real-time PCR and Western blot analysis results refer to HESCs but not platelets, we washed the HESCs that co-cultured with platelets with sterile PBS three times to remove the platelets as reported previously86.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
