Metformin 77-86 epidermal growth factor receptor Homo sapiens 115-119 28391030-4 2017 EGFR downstream signaling evaluation further demonstrated that metformin, at its IC50 value, modified apoptosis caused in erlotinib or chemotherapeutic agent-treated cells via AKT activation and the inhibition of caspase 3 and PARP cleavages. Metformin 63-72 epidermal growth factor receptor Homo sapiens 0-4 28391030-8 2017 Consequently, the application of metformin for T2D NSCLC patients receiving chemo or EGFR targeted therapy should be considered with caution. Metformin 33-42 epidermal growth factor receptor Homo sapiens 85-89
