metformin and B-Cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

metformin has been researched along with B-Cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia in 4 studies

Metformin: A biguanide hypoglycemic agent used in the treatment of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus not responding to dietary modification. Metformin improves glycemic control by improving insulin sensitivity and decreasing intestinal absorption of glucose. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p289)
metformin : A member of the class of guanidines that is biguanide the carrying two methyl substituents at position 1.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Metformin was administered in vitro either to quiescent cells or during CLL cell activation stimuli, provided by classical co-culturing with CD40L-expressing fibroblasts."5.42Metformin inhibits cell cycle progression of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells. ( Bruno, S; Casciaro, S; DeCensi, A; Fais, F; Ghiotto, F; Ledda, B; Marini, C; Mazzarello, AN; Orengo, AM; Pesenti, E; Racchi, O; Ravera, S; Sambuceti, G; Tenca, C, 2015)
" We observed that Metformin alone exhibited a dose-dependent anti-leukemic activity in both B leukemic cell lines and primary B-chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) patients' cells and its anti-leukemic activity was enhanced when used in combination with DCA."1.43Metformin combined with sodium dichloroacetate promotes B leukemic cell death by suppressing anti-apoptotic protein Mcl-1. ( Bertolasi, V; Casciano, F; Gilli, P; Melloni, E; Rigolin, GM; Rimondi, E; Secchiero, P; Voltan, R; Zauli, G, 2016)
"Ritonavir and metformin have been administered in humans for the treatment of diabetes in patients with HIV, demonstrating the tolerance to this combination in humans."1.42Investigating and targeting chronic lymphocytic leukemia metabolism with the human immunodeficiency virus protease inhibitor ritonavir and metformin. ( Adekola, KU; Dalva Aydemir, S; Ma, S; Rosen, ST; Shanmugam, M; Zhou, Z, 2015)
