Metformin 0-9 dihydrofolate reductase Homo sapiens 72-95 34601503-3 2021 Herein, we report that metformin treatment increases the sensitivity of hepatocarcinoma cells to methotrexate (MTX) by suppressing the expression of the one-carbon metabolism enzyme DHFR. Metformin 23-32 dihydrofolate reductase Homo sapiens 182-186 34601503-5 2021 Mechanistically, metformin not only transcriptionally represses DHFR via E2F4 but also promotes lysosomal degradation of the DHFR protein. Metformin 17-26 dihydrofolate reductase Homo sapiens 64-68 34601503-5 2021 Mechanistically, metformin not only transcriptionally represses DHFR via E2F4 but also promotes lysosomal degradation of the DHFR protein. Metformin 17-26 dihydrofolate reductase Homo sapiens 125-129 34601503-7 2021 Taken together, our findings identify an important role for DHFR in the suppressive effects of metformin on therapeutic resistance, thus revealing a therapeutically targetable potential vulnerability in hepatocarcinoma. Metformin 95-104 dihydrofolate reductase Homo sapiens 60-64
