Autocrine prostaglandin E2 signaling promotes tumor cell survival and proliferation in childhood neuroblastoma.
BACKGROUND: Prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) is an important mediator in tumor-promoting inflammation. High expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) has been detected in the embryonic childhood tumor neuroblastoma, and treatment with COX inhibitors significantly reduces tumor growth.
