Celecoxib, a selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor, has anticancer effect on many cancers associated with chronic inflammation by both COX-2-dependent and COX-2-independent mechanisms. The non-COX-2 targets of celecoxib, however, are still a matter of research. Leukotriene B4 (LTB4) has been implicated in prostate and colon carcinogenesis, but little is known about the potential role of LTB4 in celecoxib-mediated anticancer effect. In this study, we evaluated whether LTB4 was involved in celecoxib-mediated inhibitory effect on human colon cancer HT-29 cells and human prostate cancer PC-3 cells. Our data showed that survival of both cell lines was obviously suppressed after celecoxib treatment for 72 h in a concentration-dependent manner. However, only in HT-29 cells, this inhibitory effect could be reversed by LTB4, which promoted survival of HT-29 cells rather than PC-3 cells. Consistent with these results, lioxygenase (LOX) potent inhibitor nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) had a higher inhibitory effect on HT-29 cells than PC-3 cells. Additionally, ELISA results showed that celecoxib could suppress expression of LTB4 in both cell lines, whereas, inhibition of PGE2 was only detected in HT-29 cells. These results indicate that the anticancer effect of celecoxib is COX-2-independent in HT-29 and PC-3 cells and in HT-29 cells primarily via down-regulating LTB4 production. |
