Abstract

Osteosarcoma is the most comon primary bone tu-mor, but the pathogenesis is not well understood. While cyclooxygeanse-2 (COX-2) is known to be close-ly associated with tumor growth and metastasis in sev-eral kinds of human tumors, the function of COX-2 in osteosarcoma is unclear. Therefore, to investigate the function of COX-2 in osteosarcoma, we established stable cell lines overexpressing COX-2 in U2OS human osteosarcoma cells. COX-2 overexpression as well as prostaglandin E2 treatment promoted proliferation of U2OS cells. In addition, COX-2 overexpression enhanced mobility and invasiveness of U2OS cells, which was accompanied by increases of matrix metalloproteinase- 2 and -9 (MMP-2 and -9) activities. Selective COX-2 inhibitors, NS-398 and celecoxib, inhibited cell proliferation and abrogated the enhanced mobility, invasiveness and MMP activities induced by COX-2 overexpression. These results suggest that COX-2 is directly associated with cell proliferation, migrationand invasion in human osteosarcoma cells, and the therapeutic value of COX-2 inhibitors should be evaluated continuously.
