In some cancers cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibition appears to be anti-mitogenic and anti-angiogenic, but the actions of COX-derived prostaglandins in pancreatic cancer (PaCa) are unknown. In this study COX-2 was detected in three of six PaCa cell lines while COX-1 was identified in all cell lines. COX-2 expression correlated with basal and arachidonic acid (AA) stimulated PGE(2) production. PGE(2) production was inhibited by the COX-2 inhibitor nimesulide. In COX-2 expressing cells, exogenous AA and PGE(2) increased VEGF synthesis via the EP(2) receptor. Whereas PGE(2) stimulated intracellular cAMP formation in COX-2 positive and negative cells, 8-bromo cAMP stimulated VEGF production only in COX-2 expressing cells. Stimulating COX-2 expressing PaCa cell lines with AA enhanced migration of endothelial cells, an effect which was inhibited by a COX-2 inhibitor and EP(2) receptor antagonist. These data identify a subset of human PaCa cell lines that express functional COX-2 enzyme. PGE(2) generated by specific COX-2 activity increases VEGF secretion in human PaCa cells through an autocrine mechanism.
