1 Metformin induces apoptosis of lung cancer cells through activating JNK/p38 MAPK pathway and GADD153. Metformin DNA damage inducible transcript 3 Homo sapiens
2 We also found that metformin treatment can activate AMP-activated protein kinase, JNK/p38 MAPK signaling pathway and caspases, as well as upregulate the expression of growth arrest and DNA damage inducible gene 153 (GADD153). Metformin DNA damage inducible transcript 3 Homo sapiens
3 We also found that metformin treatment can activate AMP-activated protein kinase, JNK/p38 MAPK signaling pathway and caspases, as well as upregulate the expression of growth arrest and DNA damage inducible gene 153 (GADD153). Metformin DNA damage inducible transcript 3 Homo sapiens
4 Either blockade of JNK/p38 MAPK pathway or knockdown of GADD153 gene abrogated the apoptosis-inducing effect of metformin. Metformin DNA damage inducible transcript 3 Homo sapiens
5 Taken together, our data suggest that metformin inhibits the growth of lung cancer cells and induces apoptosis through activating JNK/p38 MAPK pathway and GADD153. Metformin DNA damage inducible transcript 3 Homo sapiens
