There is a plethora of evidence to support that inflammation is causally linked to carcinogenesis. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), a rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins, is inappropriately overexpressed in various cancers and hence recognized as one of the hallmarks of chronic inflammation-associated malignancies. However, the mechanistic role of COX-2 as a link between inflammation and cancer remains largely undefined. In this study, we found that 15-deoxy-Δ12,14-prostaglandin J2 (15d-PGJ2), one of the final products of COX-2, induced upregulation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and capillary formation and migration through nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2)-dependent heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) induction in MCF-7 cells. Analysis of the publicly available TCGA data set showed that high mRNA levels of both COX-2 and NRF2 correlated with the poor clinical outcomes in breast cancer patients. Moreover, human tissue analysis showed that the levels of 15d-PGJ2 as well the expression of COX-2, NRF2, and HO-1 were found to be increased in human breast cancer tissues. In conclusion, the elevated levels of 15d-PGJ2 during inflammatory response activate VEGF expression through NRF2-driven induction of HO-1 in human breast cancer cells, proposing a novel mechanism underlying the oncogenic function of 15d-PGJ2.
