Abstract
Prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)), a proinflammatory bioactive lipid, promotes cancer progression by modulating proliferation, apoptosis, and angiogenesis. PGE(2) is a downstream product of cyclooxygenase (COX) and is biochemically inactivated by prostaglandin dehydrogenase (PGDH). In the present study, we investigated the mechanisms by which PGDH is down-regulated in cancer. We show that epidermal growth factor (EGF) represses PGDH expression in colorectal cancer cells. EGF receptor (EGFR) signaling induces Snail, which binds conserved E-box elements in the PGDH promoter to repress transcription. Induction of PGE(2) catabolism through inhibition of EGFR signaling blocks cancer growth in vivo. In human colon cancers, elevated Snail expression correlates well with down-regulation of PGDH. These data indicate that PGDH may serve a tumor suppressor function in colorectal cancer and provide a possible COX-2-independent way to target PGE(2) to inhibit cancer progression.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
