1 | GADD153 mediates celecoxib-induced apoptosis in cervical cancer cells. | Celecoxib | DNA damage inducible transcript 3 | Homo sapiens |
2 | Screening of a cDNA microarray chip containing 225 different genes revealed that GADD153 (growth arrest and DNA damage inducible gene), a transcription factor involved in apoptosis, showed the strongest differential expression following celecoxib treatment in all three cervical cancer cell lines. | Celecoxib | DNA damage inducible transcript 3 | Homo sapiens |
3 | Notably, siRNA-induced silencing of GADD153 suppressed celecoxib-induced apoptosis in all three cell lines, and exogenous expression of GADD153 triggered apoptosis in cervical cancer cells in the absence of other apoptotic stimuli. | Celecoxib | DNA damage inducible transcript 3 | Homo sapiens |
4 | A luciferase reporter gene assay and mRNA stability tests revealed that the expression of GADD153 was regulated at both the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels following celecoxib treatment. | Celecoxib | DNA damage inducible transcript 3 | Homo sapiens |
5 | The region between -649 and -249, containing an intact C/EBP-ATF binding site, is required for celecoxib-induced stimulation of GADD153 promoter activity. | Celecoxib | DNA damage inducible transcript 3 | Homo sapiens |
6 | These novel findings collectively suggest that GADD153 may play a key role in celecoxib-induced apoptosis in cervical cancer cells by regulating the expression of proapoptotic proteins such as Bak. | Celecoxib | DNA damage inducible transcript 3 | Homo sapiens |
