    1. 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.

      Gene→Variant (gene-first): KRAS(3845):G12V

      Genes: KRAS(3845)

      Variants: G12V

    2. Next, we determined whether metformin had superior antitumor activity in KRAS-mutated CRC cell lines to those with KRAS wild type through a cell-viability test. As shown in SI Appendix, Fig. S2A, metformin inhibited the

      [Paragraph-level] PMCID: PMC7293710 Section: RESULTS PassageIndex: 7

      Evidence Type(s): Predictive, Oncogenic

      Justification: Predictive: The passage discusses how the KRASG12V mutation correlates with increased sensitivity to the antiproliferation therapy of metformin, indicating a predictive relationship between the variant and treatment response. Oncogenic: The KRASG12V mutation is implicated in tumor development as it is mentioned in the context of its effect on cell viability and sensitivity to therapy in colorectal cancer cell lines.
