Metformin is a first-line antidiabetic agent taken by 150 million people across
the world every year, yet its mechanism remains only partially understood and
controversial. It was proposed that suppression of glucose production in
hepatocytes by metformin is AMPK-independent; however, unachievably high
concentrations of metformin were employed in these studies. In the current study,
we find that metformin, via an AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)-dependent
mechanism, suppresses glucose production and gluconeogenic gene expression in
primary hepatocytes at concentrations found in the portal vein of animals (60-80
?M). Metformin also inhibits gluconeogenic gene expression in the liver of mice
administered orally with metformin. Furthermore, the cAMP-PKA pathway negatively
regulates AMPK activity through phosphorylation at Ser-485/497 on the ? subunit,
which in turn reduces net phosphorylation at Thr-172. Because diabetic patients
often have hyperglucagonemia, AMPK? phosphorylation at Ser-485/497 is a
therapeutic target to improve metformin efficacy.
