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
