Metformin Redirects Autophagy from Bulk Turnover to Mitochondrial Clearance
Metformin is the most widely prescribed antidiabetic drug and an active candidate for repurposing in oncology. How it engages autophagy - a pathway central to both its metabolic and its anti-tumor effects - has remained unresolved, with reports of induction, suppression, and no effect. Here we show that metformin reroutes rather than induces or inhibits autophagy in human cancer cells: at therapeutic concentrations, it suppresses bulk cytosolic turnover by selectively blocking WIPI2-mediated...
