1 | Metformin induced apoptosis by arresting cells in G1 phase and reducing cyclin D level and increasing the expression of p21 and cyclin E. Molecular and cellular studies indicated that metformin significantly elevated p53 and Bax levels and reduced STAT3 and Bcl-2. | Metformin | tumor protein p53 | Homo sapiens |
2 | Metformin induced apoptosis by arresting cells in G1 phase and reducing cyclin D level and increasing the expression of p21 and cyclin E. Molecular and cellular studies indicated that metformin significantly elevated p53 and Bax levels and reduced STAT3 and Bcl-2. | Metformin | tumor protein p53 | Homo sapiens |
3 | Furthermore, MEK inhibitor significantly suppressed metformin-induced p53 and Bax elevation while ERK inhibitor generated a slight reduction in p53 levels. | Metformin | tumor protein p53 | Homo sapiens |
4 | All these results suggested that metformin activated p53, Bax, and induced tumor cell apoptosis through the ERK signaling pathway. | Metformin | tumor protein p53 | Homo sapiens |
