Genome-wide CRISPR screening reveals a PKA-driven resistance mechanism to metformin for oral cancer prevention that can be exploited by combination with NSAIDs
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is among the ten most common cancers worldwide and is associated with high morbidity and poor survival. Diminished HNSCC outcomes are often related to delayed diagnosis and treatment of occult progression of premalignant lesions, underscoring the need for effective and low risk chemoprevention strategies. In this regard, metformin has shown promising clinical activity for HNSCC prevention. Here, we performed a genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 screen of metformin-treated HNSCC cells and identified activation of PKA signaling as the top resistance pathway.
