- W2168688045 abstract "Vestibular schwannomas (VSs) are the most common tumors of the cerebellopontine angle. Significant clinical need exists for pharmacotherapies against VSs. Motivated by previous findings that immunohistochemical expression of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) correlates with VS growth rate, we investigated the role of COX-2 in VSs and tested COX-2 inhibiting salicylates against VSs. COX-2 was found to be aberrantly expressed in human VS and primary human VS cells in comparison with control human nerve specimens and primary Schwann cells (SCs), respectively. Furthermore, levels of prostaglandin E2, the downstream enzymatic product of COX-2, were correlated with primary VS culture proliferation rate. Because COX-2 inhibiting salicylates such as aspirin are well tolerated and frequently clinically used, we assessed their repurposing for VS. Changes in proliferation, cell death, and cell viability were analyzed in primary VS cultures treated with aspirin, sodium salicylate, or 5-aminosalicylic acid. These drugs neither increased VS cell death nor affected healthy SCs. The cytostatic effect of aspirin in vitro was in concurrence with our previous clinical finding that patients with VS taking aspirin demonstrate reduced tumor growth. Overall, this work suggests that COX-2 is a key modulator in VS cell proliferation and survival and highlights salicylates as promising pharmacotherapies against VS.

Stankovic, MD, PhD, FACS, is an Assistant Professor of Otology and Laryngology at Harvard Medical School, Associate Surgeon at Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary (MEEI) and Principal Investigator at Eaton Peabody Laboratories at MEEI. The pre-clinical data described in this manuscript provide the basis for a prospective clinical trial that Dr. Stankovic's research team is now designing. Currently, there is no FDA-approved drug therapy for the vestibular schwannomas; the only drug with some efficacy in clinical trials is bevacizumab, which can cause substantial side effects, including kidney failure. Dr. Stankovic's pre-clinical data with salicylates suggest that this class of well-tolerated and widely used drugs may be effective against vestibular schwannomas." @default.
