I read this a while ago. It is a fascinating and informative article.

"High levels of COX-2 expression result in higher levels of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), which in turn increases CYP19 expression through increases in intracellular cyclic AMP levels and activation of promoter II. Thus, PGE2 produced by COX enzymes may act locally in paracrine and autocrine fashion to increase the biosynthesis of estrogen by aromatase in hormone-dependent breast cancer development."
