Abstract

0.05). CAT expression of pCAT 1.28 and pCAT 0.65 are 2 and 1.6 times as high as the control group's. CAT expression of pCAT 1.28, pCAT 0.65 and pCAT 0.54 were 2.5, 2.2 and 1.3 times as high as the control group's. Aspirin inhibited the promoter activities of pCAT 1.28, pCAT 0.65. And the inhibition of Aspirin was reversed by PMA. CONGCLUSION:Aspirin can inhibit the expression of human MMP-9 gene in the transcriptional level and can inhibit the formation and development of prostatic carcinoma.
