PG - 834-841 LID - 10.1124/mol.118.111831 [doi] AB - The cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) selective inhibitor celecoxib is widely used in the treatment of pain and inflammation. Celecoxib has been explored as a possible treatment of liver fibrosis with contradictory results, depending on the model. The present study reports the effect of celecoxib in a 5-week carbon tetrachloride (CCl(4))-induced liver fibrosis mouse model. Celecoxib alone and in combination with inhibitors of the enzyme-soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH), as well as a dual inhibitor that targets both COX-2 and sEH, were administered via osmotic minipump to mice receiving intraperitoneal injections of CCl(4) Collagen deposition was elevated in the mice treated with both celecoxib and CCl(4) compared with the control or CCl(4)-only groups, as assessed by trichrome staining. Histopathology revealed more extensive fibrosis and cell death in the animals treated with both celecoxib and CCl(4) compared with all other experimental groups. Although some markers of fibrosis, such as matrix metalloprotease, were unchanged or lowered in the animals treated with both celecoxib and CCl(4), overall, hepatic fibrosis was more severe in this group. Cotreatment with celecoxib and an inhibitor of sEH or treatment with a dual inhibitor of COX-2 and sEH decreased the elevated levels of fibrotic markers observed in the group that received both celecoxib and CCl(4) Oxylipid analysis revealed that celecoxib reduced the level of prostaglandin E(2) relative to the CCl(4) only group. Overall, celecoxib treatment did not decrease liver fibrosis in CCl(4)-treated mice. CI - Copyright (c) 2018 by The American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics.
