The roles of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in the development of gastric cancer are unknown. We investigated the effects of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which are specific and nonspecific inhibitors of COX-2, on proliferation of the gastric cancer cell lines KATOIII, MKN28, and MKN45. The protein level of COX-2 was examined in these cell lines by Western analysis, and mRNA levels of COX-1/2 by Northern analysis. These cell lines expressed comparable levels of COX-1 mRNA. However, mRNA and protein expression of COX-2 in these cell lines was different. MKN45 expressed higher levels of COX-2 mRNA and protein than KATOIII and MKN28. We also examined the effects of NS-398 and indomethacin, specific and nonspecific inhibitors of COX-2, on the increase in cell number and [H-3]thymidine uptake of these cell lines. NS-398 and indomethacin suppressed proliferation of MKN45 cells that overexpressed COX-2, although they exerted minimal effects on proliferation of KATOIII and MKN28, which expressed lower levels of COX-2. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that COX-2 is expressed in certain groups of gastric cancers and is related to their cell proliferation. It was proposed that COX-2 plays an important role in development of gastric cancer cells. Furthermore, NSAIDs may exert antiproliferative activity against gastric adenocarcinomas that overexpress COX-2.
