Frontiers in pharmacology

Barbieri F, Würth R, Pattarozzi A, Verduci I, Mazzola C, Cattaneo MG, Tonelli M, Solari A, Bajetto A, Daga A, Vicentini LM, Mazzanti M, Florio T.
PMID: 30186163
Front Pharmacol. 2018 Aug 21;9:899. doi: 10.3389/fphar.2018.00899. eCollection 2018.

The antidiabetic biguanide metformin exerts antiproliferative effects in different solid tumors. However, during preclinical studies, metformin concentrations required to induce cell growth arrest were invariably within the mM range, thus difficult to translate in a clinical setting. Consequently, the...

Mitochondria-derived reactive oxygen species (mROS) are required for the survival, proliferation, and metastasis of cancer cells. The mechanism by which mitochondrial metabolism regulates mROS levels to support cancer cells is not fully understood. To address this, we conducted a...

Phenformin and ataxia-telangiectasia mutated inhibitors synergistically co-suppress liver cancer cell growth by damaging mitochondria.

FEBS open bio

Wu T, Zhou S, Qin M, Tang J, Yan X, Huang L, Huang M, Deng J, Xiao D, Hu X, Wu J, Yang X, Li G.
PMID: 33742560
