摘要

A tumour-suppressor protein that mediates DNA repair and has ties with a metabolic disorder1 - this might sound far-fetched. But in fact the reported link between responsiveness to metformin and a cancer gene is not without precedent. Previous work has shown that activation of AMPK by metformin requires the activity of the kinase enzyme LKB1. The gene encoding LKB1 was originally identified for causing an inherited cancer disorder, and is one of the most commonly mutated genes in human lung cancer6. Animal studies also point to a role for this gene in a variety of spontaneously arising cancers. Notably, deletion of Lkbl in mouse liver leads to loss of AMPK activity in that organ and to the development of metabolic dysfunction, including hyperglycaemia and hepatic steatosis - symptoms resembling those of type 2 diabetes7. Furthermore, a genetic survey revealed that DNA-base variations in LKB1 affect how women with poly-cystic ovary syndrome respond to treatment with metformin.
