http://purl.uniprot.org/citations/15254709http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#comment"The management of ependymomas remains one of the most frustrating issues in pediatric neuro-oncology. Gross total resection is not always possible, and intensive chemotherapy and craniospinal radiotherapy have made no clear advances. Moreover, the chemoresistance of ependymomas may be explained by the expression of membrane transport molecule P-glycoprotein (P-gp). In this study the expression of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) and the role of the specific COX-2 inhibitor NS-398 in growth and multi-drug resistance of ependymomas were investigated. COX-2 protein expression was assessed in 19 ependymomas immunohistochemically, and the effect of NS-398 on growth and multi-drug resistance was investigated using two primary cultured ependymoma cell lines. COX-2 protein expression was observed in 15 (79%) of the 19 ependymomas. NS-398 was found to reduce the proliferation of monolayer cell cultures in a dose- and time-dependent manner and to induce apoptosis and lower bcl-2 protein levels. After NS-398 treatment, Western blotting showed reduced P-gp expression and a rhodamine 123 efflux assay demonstrated a significant decrease in P-gp activity. Our findings demonstrate that COX-2 is overexpressed in ependymomas and that NS-398 is able to induce apoptosis and suppress P-gp expression and activity."xsd:string
