Metformin Counteracts HCC Progression and Metastasis Enhancing KLF6/p21 Expression and Downregulating the IGF Axis

METF action on p21 nuclear translocation: METF stimulated p21 nuclear translocation, confirming that it is able to arrest cell growth by inhibiting cyclin-dependent kinases. These images showed the different localization of the signal in cells treated with METF in respect to MEM control. Scale bars: 200 μm (20X) and 100 μm (40X).
