228-307 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Inflammation is believed to be a critical component in skin cancer progression. |
T4 |
308-436 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Therefore, understanding genes involved in the regulation of inflammatory pathways is vital to the design of targeted therapies. |
T5 |
437-540 |

Tpl2 (MAP3K8) is a protein kinase in the MAP Kinase signal transduction cascade. |
T7 |
622-810 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Previous research using a two-stage skin carcinogenesis model revealed that Tpl2(-/-) mice have significantly higher tumor incidence and inflammatory response than wild-type (WT) controls. |
T8 |
811-1049 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The current study investigates whether cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and COX-2- regulated prostaglandins and prostaglandin receptors drive the highly tumorigenic state of Tpl2(-/-) mice by investigating the relationship between Tpl2 and COX-2. |
T9 |
1050-1191 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Keratinocytes from newborn WT or Tpl2(-/-) mice were treated with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) for various times over 24 hours. |
T10 |
1192-1308 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Western analysis revealed significant differences in COX-2 and COX-2 dependent prostanoids and prostanoid receptors. |
T11 |
1309-1483 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Additionally, in vivo experiments confirmed that COX-2 and COX-2 downstream factors were elevated in TPA-treated Tpl2(-/-) skin, as well as in papillomas from Tpl2(-/-) mice. |
T12 |
1484-1627 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Use of the selective COX-2 inhibitor Celecoxib showed the increased tumorigenesis in the Tpl2(-/-) mice to primarily be mediated through COX-2. |
T13 |
1628-1771 |
Sentence |
denotes |
These experiments illustrate COX-2 induction in the absence of Tpl2 may be responsible for the increased tumorigenesis found in Tpl2(-/-) mice. |
T14 |
1772-1895 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Defining the relationship between Tpl2 and COX-2 may lead to new ways to downregulate COX-2 through the modulation of Tpl2. |
