Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is reported to be one of the early-response gene products induced by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA). However, the relevance of COX-2 in TPA-induced cell transformation and the underlying mechanisms remains to be explored. Initially, we verified COX-2 induction after TPA treatment in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEF) and mouse epidermal cells Cl 41. More importantly, introduction of COX-2 small interfering RNA in MEFs or Cl 41 cells suppressed the cell transformation caused by TPA treatment. This inhibition could be reversed by overexpression of human full-length COX-2, indicating that COX-2 is at least one of the critical molecules involved in TPA-induced cell transformation. We further showed that TPA-promoted cell cycle progression was partially suppressed by COX-2 small interfering RNA, indicating that COX-2 also participated in TPA-associated cell cycle progression. Investigation of the upstream signaling pathways revealed that c-Jun-NH2-kinase 1 (JNK1), but not JNK2, played important roles in COX-2 induction, because knockout ofJNK1gene rather thanJNK2gene markedly impaired COX-2 induction. Furthermore, inhibition of c-Jun/activator protein 1 pathway or JNKs/c-Jun pathway by overexpression of dominant negative mutants of c-Jun, or MKK4 and MKK7 together, resulted in impairment of COX-2 induction, suggesting that JNK1/c-Jun/activator protein 1 pathway is involved in TPA-associated COX-2 induction. In contrast, IKK/p65 nuclear factor-κB pathway was not implicated because knockout of IKKα, IKKβ, orp65gene did not affect COX-2 induction although nuclear factor-κB was activated by TPA. In addition, the TPA-promoted cell cycle progression was found impaired in JNK1-deficient, but not in JNK2-deficient, MEFs. Our results show that JNK1-associated COX-2 induction is implicated in TPA-associated cell transformation and cell cycle progression. (Mol Cancer Res 2008;6(1):165–74)
