Cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) has been reported to be commonly expressed in advanced
stages of human lung adenocarcinoma. In this study, the COX-2 constitutive expression
vector was transfected into a human lung adenocarcinoma cell line CL1. 0 and several
clones were obtained which stably expressed COX-2. These COX-2-overexpressed clones
demonstrated remarkable resistance to apoptosis induced by Ultraviolet B (UVB) irradiation,
vinblastine B (VBL) cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), or other anti-cancer drugs. To understand how …
