1 Metformin induces apoptosis of melanoma B16 cells via PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathways. Metformin thymoma viral proto-oncogene 1 Mus musculus
2 PURPOSE: To investigate the influences of metformin on the proliferation and apoptosis of mouse melanoma B16 cells through regulating the phosphatidylinositol 3-hydroxy kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway. Metformin thymoma viral proto-oncogene 1 Mus musculus
3 CONCLUSIONS: Metformin can inhibit the proliferation of mouse melanoma B16 cells and induce their apoptosis probably through its regulation on the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway in cells. Metformin thymoma viral proto-oncogene 1 Mus musculus
