Preventative effect of celecoxib in dimethylbenzaanthracene-induced ovarian cancer in rats.
Summary of "Preventative effect of celecoxib in dimethylbenzaanthracene-induced ovarian cancer in rats."
The present study investigated the preventive effect of the cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 inhibitor, celecoxib, in 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced ovarian cancer in a rat model.

Fibrosis of mesothelial cell-induced peritoneal implantation of ovarian cancer cells.
Peritoneal metastasis frequently occurs in patients with advanced ovarian cancer and is the main basis for a poor prognosis. The mechanism underlying preferential ovarian cancer spread to the peritone...
We recently reported that celecoxib, a selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2) inhibitor, counteracts the adverse circulatory and renal actions of cyclosporine (CSA). Despite the seemingly advantageous natu...
DHA but not AA Enhances Cisplatin Cytotoxicity in Ovarian Cancer Cells.
Clinical and epidemiological studies show that docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (AA) exert multiple effects on ovarian cancer. While DHA seems to inhibit growth and prevent carcinogenic...
The Warburg effect is one of the main metabolic features for cancers, with long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) being involved as a class of crucial regulators. Our previous studies have shown that ginsenosid...
KDM6B, also known as JMJD3, is a member of the family of histone lysine demethylase (KDMs), which is closely related to many types of cancers. However, its role and the underlying mechanisms in ovaria...
Clinical Trials
The aim of this study is to evaluate the antitumor activity and potential adverse effects of the combination celecoxib plus carboplatin in patients with recurrent, heavily pre-treated Ova...
RATIONALE: Chemoprevention therapy is the use of certain drugs to try to prevent the development or recurrence of cancer. The use of celecoxib before prophylactic oophorectomy may be an ef...
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Celecoxib may stop the growth of cancer by ...
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. C...
Celecoxib With Chemotherapy in Localized, Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer
The purpose of this study is to compare patient tumor tissue before and after treatment with chemotherapy plus celecoxib. Investigators will look at gene expression, to see what effect cel...
Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome
Autosomal dominant HEREDITARY CANCER SYNDROME in which a mutation most often in either BRCA1 or BRCA2 is associated with a significantly increased risk for breast and ovarian cancers.
Rats, Long-evans
An outbred strain of rats developed in 1915 by crossing several Wistar Institute white females with a wild gray male. Inbred strains have been derived from this original outbred strain, including Long-Evans cinnamon rats (RATS, INBRED LEC) and Otsuka-Long-Evans-Tokushima Fatty rats (RATS, INBRED OLETF), which are models for Wilson's disease and non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, respectively.
Aphidicolin
An antiviral antibiotic produced by Cephalosporium aphidicola and other fungi. It inhibits the growth of eukaryotic cells and certain animal viruses by selectively inhibiting the cellular replication of DNA polymerase II or the viral-induced DNA polymerases. The drug may be useful for controlling excessive cell proliferation in patients with cancer, psoriasis or other dermatitis with little or no adverse effect upon non-multiplying cells.
Drug-induced Liver Injury, Chronic
Liver disease lasting six months or more, caused by an adverse drug effect. The adverse effect may result from a direct toxic effect of a drug or metabolite, or an idiosyncratic response to a drug or metabolite.
Rats, Hairless
Mutant strains of rats that produce little or no hair. Several different homozygous recessive mutations can cause hairlessness in rats including rnu/rnu (Rowett nude), fz/fz (fuzzy), shn/shn (shorn), and nznu/nznu (New Zealand nude). Note that while NUDE RATS are often hairless, they are most characteristically athymic.

Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian Cancer is cancer that starts in the female reproductive organs, the ovaries. It is the fifth most common cancer among women.
Women at risk of Ovarian Cancer are those who have had few children (or had children at an older age), carriers o...
