Abstract

Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can inhibit colorectal tumorigenesis and are among the few agents known to be useful for the chemoprevention of neoplasia. Here, we show that the tumor suppressive effects of NSAIDs are not likely to be related to a reduction in prostaglandins but rather are due to the elevation of the prostaglandin precursor arachidonic acid (AA). NSAID treatment of colon tumor cells results in a dramatic increase in AA that in turn stimulates the conversion of sphingomyelin to ceramide, a known mediator of apoptosis. These results have significant implications for understanding and improving colon cancer chemoprevention.

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.
