Activation of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and inhibition of peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) have been observed in human and animal models of breast cancer. Both inhibition of COX-2 and activation of PPARγ can inhibit proliferation of breast cancer cells in vitro. Here we examine the effects of the COX-2 inhibitor celecoxib and the PPARγ agonist F-L-Leu on mouse breast tumor cells in vitro and in vivo. We created and characterized a mouse mammary adenocarcinoma cell (MMAC1) line from C3 (1)-SV40 T-antigen mice to study COX-2 and PPARγ expression and response to celecoxib and F-L-Leu in vitro. To study the in vivo effects, C3 (1) SV40 T-antigen mice were given either control diet or diets containing three different concentrations of celecoxib and F-L-Leu as well as a combination of both agents. Mice were then followed for tumor formation up to one year. MMAC1 cells express both COX-2 and PPARγ mRNA and exhibited cooperative growth inhibition with a combination of celecoxib and F-L-Leu. In mice, the median age of death due to mammary tumors was significantly delayed in celecoxib treated animals at all three concentrations, but was not significantly affected by F-L-Leu treatment alone. A combination of celecoxib and F-L-Leu was significantly more effective than celecoxib alone. Our findings suggest that a combination of a COX-2 inhibitor and PPARγ agonist can delay breast cancer in a mouse model and suggest these agents should be studied in the context of human populations with high breast cancer risk.
