Metformin selectively inhibits metastatic colorectal cancer with the KRAS mutation by intracellular accumulation through silencing MATE1
[Paper-level Aggregated] PMCID: PMC7293710
Evidence Type(s): Oncogenic, Predictive
Justification: Oncogenic: The KRASG12V mutation is associated with increased sensitivity to metformin, indicating its role in promoting tumor growth and response to therapy in colorectal cancer cell lines. Predictive: The presence of the KRASG12V mutation predicts the response of CRC cells to metformin treatment, as evidenced by the differential effects observed in KRAS-mutated versus KRAS wild type cells.
