MicroRNA-21 targets tumor suppressor genes in invasion and metastasis
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of naturally occurring small non-coding RNAs that target protein-coding mRNAs at the post-transcriptional level. Our previous studies suggest that mir-21 functions as… Expand
Lipoxygenase metabolism: roles in tumor progression and survival

Prostaglandin endoperoxide H synthases and their arachidonate products have been implicated in modulating angiogenesis during tumor growth and chronic inflammation. Here we report the involvement of… Expand
Differential expression of thromboxane synthase in prostate carcinoma: role in tumor cell motility.
Arachidonic acid metabolism through cyclooxygenase, lipoxygenase, or P-450 epoxygenase pathways can generate a variety of eicosanoids. Thromboxane synthase (TxS) metabolizes the cyclooxygenase… Expand
Thromboxane A2 receptors in prostate carcinoma: expression and its role in regulating cell motility via small GTPase Rho.
Thromboxane A(2) (TxA(2)) is a prostanoid formed by thromboxane synthase using the cyclooxygenase product prostaglandin H(2) as the substrate. Previously, increased expression of thromboxane synthase… Expand
