Overexpression of Cyclooxygenase-2 in Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor and Selective Cyclooxygenase-2 Inhibitor-Induced Apoptosis by Activating Caspases in Human Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor Cells

BACKGROUND: Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is a key enzyme in the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostanoids, and its activation is associated with carcinogenesis as well as inflammation. The antitumor effect of selective COX-2 inhibitors has been noted in various malignancies. Malignant peripheral ner...
