Elevated tumor cyclooxygenase (COX-2) expression is associated with increased
angiogenesis, tumor invasion, and suppression of host immunity. We have previously shown
that genetic inhibition of tumor COX-2 expression reverses the immunosuppression induced
by non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). To assess the impact of COX-2 expression in lung
cancer invasiveness, NSCLC cell lines were transduced with a retroviral vector expressing
the human COX-2 cDNA in the sense (COX-2-S) and antisense (COX-2-AS) orientations …
