Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression is a marker of poor prognosis in gastric cancer patients, and its inhibition suppresses gastric tumorigenesis in experimental animal models. The mechanism that leads to COX-2 overexpression in this tumor type is unknown. We have now shown that inhibition of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase by LY294002 suppresses both basal and phorbol myristate acetate-induced COX-2 expression in TMK-1 and MKN-28 gastric cancer cells. Furthermore, inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase-3beta (GSK-3beta) by SB415286 induced expression of COX-2 mRNA and protein as well as the enzyme activity in the gastric cancer cells. The effect of SB415286 was confirmed by the use of two additional GSK-3beta inhibitors, lithium chloride and SB216763. SB415286 had a modest 1.6-fold stimulatory effect on a 2-kb COX-2 promoter reporter construct, but more importantly, it was shown to block the decay of COX-2 mRNA. In contrast to modulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt/GSK-3beta pathway, inhibitors of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MEK 1/2, p38, JNK) or the mammalian target of rapamycin did not alter COX-2 expression in gastric cancer cells. Our data show that inhibition of GSK-3beta stimulates COX-2 expression in gastric cancer cells, which seems to be primarily facilitated via an increase in mRNA stability and to a lesser extent through enhanced transcription.
