Recent studies demonstrated that metformin exerts anti-neoplastic effect in a
spectrum of malignancies. However, the mechanism whereby metformin affects
various cancers, including gastric cancer, is poorly elucidated. Considering
apoptosis plays critical role in tumorigenesis, we, in the present study,
investigated the in vitro apoptotic effect of metformin on human gastric cancer
cell and the underlying mechanism. Three differently-differentiated gastric
cancer cell lines, MKN-28, SGC-7901 and BGC-823, along with one noncancerous
gastric cell line GES-1 were used. We found that metformin treatment selectively
induces apoptosis in the 3 cancer cell lines, but not the noncancerous one, as
confirmed by flow cytometry, Caspase-Glo assay and western blotting against PARP
and cleaved caspase 3. Moreover, the apoptotic effect of metformin seems to
correlate negatively with the differentiation degree of gastric cancer.
Metformin-induced apoptosis may be partially mediated through inhibition of
anti-apoptotic survivin. Additionally, AMPK and mTOR, 2 important regulatory
molecules responsible for metformin action, were investigated for their possible
involvements in metformin-induced apoptosis of gastric cancer cell. AMPK
knockdown by siRNA restores metformin-inhibited survivin expression and partially
abolishes metformin-induced apoptosis. Similarly, forced overexpression of mTOR
downstream effector p70S6K1 relieves metformin-induced inhibition of survivin and
partly attenuates metformin-induced apoptosis. More importantly, survivin
overexpression alleviates metformin-induced apoptosis. Xenograft nude mouse
experiment also confirmed that AMPK/mTOR-mediated decrease of suvivin is in vivo
implicated in metformin-induced apoptosis. Taken together, these evidences
suggest that AMPK/mTOR-mediated inhibition of survivin may partly contribute to
metformin-induced apoptosis of gastric cancer cell.
