Metformin 50-59 protein kinase AMP-activated catalytic subunit alpha 2 Homo sapiens 90-94 23942093-8 2013 Activation of AMPK by metformin not only inhibited HCC cells growth in vitro and in vivo, but also augmented cisplatin-induced growth inhibition in HCC cells. Metformin 22-31 protein kinase AMP-activated catalytic subunit alpha 2 Homo sapiens 14-18 23942093-9 2013 Knockdown of AMPKalpha expression can greatly decrease the inhibitory effect of metformin, indicating that AMPK activation is required for the anticancer action of metformin. Metformin 80-89 protein kinase AMP-activated catalytic subunit alpha 2 Homo sapiens 13-17 23942093-9 2013 Knockdown of AMPKalpha expression can greatly decrease the inhibitory effect of metformin, indicating that AMPK activation is required for the anticancer action of metformin. Metformin 164-173 protein kinase AMP-activated catalytic subunit alpha 2 Homo sapiens 13-17 23942093-10 2013 Mechanistically, metformin/AMPK activation inhibited NF-kappaB signaling through upregulation of IkappaBalpha. Metformin 17-26 protein kinase AMP-activated catalytic subunit alpha 2 Homo sapiens 27-31
