Analysis on the Prevention of NASH Progression by NSAIDs () - Feb 19, 2025 - Abstract #APASL2025APASL_2451; In summary, current research results on whether NSAIDs can prevent the progression of NASH are inconsistent and somewhat controversial. Although certain NSAIDs, such as sulindac, may have potential anti-NASH activity, the overall safety issues of NSAIDs and the differences in results among studies make their effectiveness in practical application uncertain.

Journal: Aspirin-based PROTACs as COX-2 degraders for anti-inflammation. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 15, 2025 Moreover, we show AspPROTACs could significantly affect proteasome degradation and inflammatory signaling pathways through quantitative proteomic data analysis. These COX-2 degraders offer valuable chemical tools and novel insights for research in anti-inflammatory drugs.

Journal: Combined Endocannabinoid and Cyclooxygenase Inhibition Additively Attenuates Post-Surgical Pain. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 14, 2025 The dose-dependent anti-allodynic effects of the MAGL inhibitors (irreversible MAGL inhibitor [JZL184] and selective MAGL inhibitor [MJN110]) and the NSAID diclofenac, as well as the additive potential of combined MAGL and cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibition, were assessed...Similarly, the anti-allodynic effects of the CB2-selective agonist (LY2828360) were tested...The anti-allodynic effects of JZL184 (40 mg/kg) were blocked by pre-treatment of the CB2 antagonist SR144528 (3 mg/kg) but not the CB1-selective antagonist rimonabant (SR141716A; 3 mg/kg), suggesting a CB2-mediated mechanism of anti-allodynia via MAGL inhibition...Finally, HPI per se increased pro-inflammatory cytokine levels, which were unaltered by MAGL inhibition despite the anti-allodynia assessed behaviorally. These data support simultaneously targeting endocannabinoids and COX enzymes as a potential post-operative pain management approach.

Our study demonstrates the positive feedback loop linking nNOS-mediated NO signaling to the COX-2/PGE2 signaling axis in melanoma, which further potentiates the pro-tumorigenic activity of IFN-?.
- |||||||||| Review, Journal: Significance of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in the prevention and treatment of cervical cancer. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 7, 2025
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have demonstrated the capability to significantly inhibit COX activity, playing a crucial preventive and therapeutic role in various tumors. This paper explores the therapeutic value and potential clinical applications of NSAIDs in cervical cancer by examining the mechanistic interactions between HPV and COX and the carcinogenic effects of COX in cervical cancer.

Journal: Relocating NSAIDs into the endoplasmic reticulum induces ER stress-mediated apoptosis in cancer cells. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 6, 2025 The resulting ER stress triggered autophagy by upregulating Beclin and LC3-II/LC3-I as autophagy markers, followed by apoptosis, culminating in significant cancer cell death, particularly when combined with bafilomycin A, 10-hydroxycamptothecin and obatoclax. This NSAID-based ER stress inducer provides a powerful tool for exploring the chemical biology of NSAIDs in the ER and holds great potential for advancing ER-targeted cancer therapies in combination with other anti-cancer drugs.

Journal: Calcitonin gene-related peptide promotes epithelial reparative and anti-colitic functions of IL-4 educated human macrophages. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 17, 2024 Moreover, M(IL4,CGRP)s displayed increased cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 and prostaglandin D2 (PGD2), and CM from M(IL4,CGRP)s treated with indomethacin or SC-560 to inhibit COX-1 activity failed to promote repair of wounded CaCo2 cell monolayers...These data confirm the human M(IL4)s' anti-colitic effect that was enhanced by CGRP, and may be partially dependent on macrophage COX1/PDG2 activity. Thus, input from neurone-derived molecules is a local modifier capable of boosting the anti-colitic effect of autologous M(IL4) transfer.

Preclinical, Journal: Optogenetic screening of MCT1 activity implicates a cluster of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) as inhibitors of lactate transport. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 12, 2024 Since these molecules form a distinct structural cluster with known NSAID MCT4 inhibitors, such as diclofenac, ketoprofen, and indomethacin, we hypothesize that these newly identified inhibitors may also inhibit both transporters. Consequently, NSAIDs as a class, and piroxicam specifically (IC50 4.4 ?M), demonstrate MCT1 inhibition at theoretically relevant human dosages, suggesting immediate potential for standalone MCT inhibition or combined anticancer therapy.

Journal: Concomitant suppression of COX-1 and COX-2 is insufficient to induce enteropathy associated with chronic NSAID use. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 9, 2024 Here we report that concomitant postnatal deletion of Cox-1 and -2 over 10 months failed to cause intestinal injury in mice unless they were treated with naproxen or its structural analog, phenylpropionic acid, which is not a COX inhibitor...These results show that prostaglandin suppression plays a trivial role in NSAID-induced enteropathy. However, Cox deletion causes dysbiosis of the gut microbiome that amplifies the enteropathic response to NSAIDs.
