1 Inhibition of p42 MAPK using a nonviral vector-delivered siRNA potentiates the anti-tumor effect of metformin in prostate cancer cells. Metformin mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 Homo sapiens
2 AIMS: The aim of this work was to study if a G1-polyamidoamine dendrimer/siRNA dendriplex can remove the p42 MAPK protein in prostate cancer cells and to potentiate the anti-tumoral effect of the antidiabetic drug metformin and taxane docetaxel. Metformin mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 Homo sapiens
3 RESULTS: The dendriplex siRNA/G1-polyamidoamine dendrimer decreased both p42 MAPK mRNA and protein levels by more than 80%, which potentiates the anti-tumoral effects of metformin. Metformin mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 Homo sapiens
