Di Magno et al. investigate the therapeutic properties of phenformin in Hedgehog-dependent tumors. At clinically relevant doses, phenformin works independent of respiratory complex I through mGPD-mediated increase of the redox state. This promotes CtBP2/Gli1 complex formation and consequent inhibition of Hedgehog transcriptional output and tumor growth.

Abstract

Di Magno et al. investigate the therapeutic properties of phenformin in Hedgehog-dependent tumors. At clinically relevant doses, phenformin works independent of respiratory complex I through mGPD-mediated increase of the redox state. This promotes CtBP2/Gli1 complex formation and consequent inhibition of Hedgehog transcriptional output and tumor growth.
