ABSTRACT
In this study, 60 male albino rats [average weight 100-150 g] were used. They were randomly divided into four groups, each comprised 15 rats The first group served as a control; rats in the second and third groups were subcutaneously injected with 1,2 dimethylhydrazine [DMH] 20 mg/kg b.w. once a week for 20 weeks as well as rats in the third and fourth groups were orally administered celecoxib 20 mg/kg b.w. daily for 20 weeks. At the end of the trial, all animals were sacrificed to study the possible effects of selective cox-2 inhibitor on induced colon cancer tumor cell proliferation, angiogenesis and migration in the experimental animals. Colons, livers and lungs were taken, put in 10% neutral formalin, processed and stained for histopathological and immunohistopathological study. The tumor incidence in DMH treated group [2nd group] was 100%. Celecoxib + DMH treated group had fewer tumors and less angiogenesis compared with DMH treated group and control group [4th and 1st group]. Also, liver and lung metastasis were less in celecoxib + DMH treated group than the DMH treated group
