It has been found that expression of 15-lipoxygenase-1 (15-LOX-1) and its main product, 13-S-hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid (13-S-HODE), are decreased in human colorectal and esophageal cancers and that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can therapeutically induce 15-LOX-1 expression to trigger apoptosis in those cancer cells. We found that a specific cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor SC-236 similarly induced apoptosis in gastric cancer cells. In the present study, we tested whether SC-236 induced apoptosis through up-regulation of 15-LOX-1 in gastric cancer. We found that: (i) SC-236 inhibited growth of gastric cancer cells mainly by inducing apoptosis; (ii) SC-236 induced 15-LOX-1 expression and increased endogenous 13-S-HODE product, instead of 15-S-HETE during apoptosis; (iii) SC-236 did not affect expression of COX-1, COX-2, 5-LOX and 12-LOX; and (iv) 15-LOX-1 inhibition suppressed SC-236 induced apoptosis. These findings demonstrated that SC-236 induced apoptosis in gastric cancer cells via up-regulation of 15-LOX-1, and 13-S-HODE. These are potential and new targets for prevention and treatment of gastric cancer.
