1 We found that metformin suppressed HSY cell growth in vitro in a time and dose dependent manner associated with a reduced expression of MYC onco-protein, and the same inhibitory effect of metformin was also confirmed in HSG cells. Metformin MYC proto-oncogene, bHLH transcription factor Homo sapiens
2 In association with the reduction of MYC onco-protein, metformin significantly restored p53 tumor suppressor gene expression. Metformin MYC proto-oncogene, bHLH transcription factor Homo sapiens
3 The distinctive effects of metformin and PP242 on MYC reduction and P53 restoration suggested that metformin inhibited cell growth through a different pathway from PP242 in salivary carcinoma cells. Metformin MYC proto-oncogene, bHLH transcription factor Homo sapiens
