چکیده انگلیسی
Meningioma is the most common primary brain tumor in cats and occurs less frequently in the spinal cord. This study aimed to investigate cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression in feline meningiomas, and the possible association between COX-2 immunoreactivity and tumor grade using eight low-grade and seven high-grade meningiomas. All tumors (n = 15/15) were immunoreactive to COX-2. The expression of COX-2 was not significantly correlated with tumor grade (P = 0.22 and 0.34 for staining and intensity, respectively) but was significantly associated with necrosis (P = 0.04 and 0.01 for staining and intensity, respectively). The findings in this study suggest that feline meningiomas express COX-2, but there were no differences in COX-2 immunoreactivity patterns between low- and high-grade meningiomas. However, the association between COX-2 expression and the presence of necrosis indicates a potential area for therapeutic intervention with selective COX-2 inhibitors.
