The purpose of this study was to determine mPGES-1, mPGES-2, and cytosolic PGES (cPGES) expression in gastric cancer and to evaluate the correlation between mPGES-1 and mPGES-2 expression and clinicopathological factors and cyclooxygenase-2 expression," scientists in Tokyo, Japan report.

"PGES protein expression was examined by Western blot in gastric cancer cell lines and in biopsy samples from patients with gastric cancer. mPGES-1, mPGES-2, and cPGES protein localizations were examined immunohistochemically in 129 archival gastric cancer surgical resections. mPGES-1 protein...
