Cyclooxygenase and its derived prostaglandin E-2 (PGE(2)) have been shown to stimulate the growth of cancer cells and promote tumor angiogenesis. Here, we show that PGE2 activated the beta-catenin/T cell factor-dependent transcription in colon cancer cells through the cAMP/protein kinase A pathway. The expression of cyclin D1 and vascular endothelial growth factor was induced by PGE(2) in LS-174T cells. Moreover, PGE(2) and mutated beta-catenin stimulated the transcription of cyclin D1 and vascular endothelial growth factor in a synergistic fashion. Mechanistically, PGE(2) increased the phosphorylation of glycogen synthase kinase-3 and consequently accumulated beta-catenin. In addition, PGE(2) induced the expression of T cell factor-4 transcription factor, which formed transcriptionally active complex with beta-catenin. In animal experiments, administration of 16,16-dimethyl PGE(2) strongly increased the expression of cyclin D1 and vascular endothelial growth factor in APC(min/+) mouse polyps. Thus, our results provide a novel mechanism, suggesting that cyclooxygenase-2/PGE(2) may exert pro-oncogenic actions through stimulating the beta-catenin/T cell factor-mediated transcription, which plays critical roles in colorectal carcinogenesis.
