    In endometrial adenocarcinomas COX-2 and F-series prostanoid (FP) receptor expression and prostanoid biosynthesis (PGE(2) and PGF(2alpha)) are elevated. In the present study, we investigated the effect of PGE(2) and PGF(2alpha) on the expression of COX-2 via the FP receptor in endometrial adenocarcinoma cells stably expressing the FP receptor (FPS cells). Using chemical inhibitors of intracellular signaling pathways, reporter gene assays and quantitative RT-PCR analysis, we show that PGE(2) and PGF(2alpha) can mobilize inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, induce ERK1/2 phosphorylation via the phospholipase Cbeta-protein kinase A-epidermal growth factor receptor pathway and induce cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression via the FP receptor. In addition we show that the PGE(2) or PGF(2alpha)-regulation of COX-2 via the FP receptor is mediated via the cAMP response element (CRE) binding site on the COX-2 promoter. These data indicate that PGE(2) and PGF(2alpha) biosynthesized locally within endometrial adenocarcinomas can regulate tumor cell function in an autocrine/paracrine manner via the FP receptor.
