Metformin is a biguanide drug that is widely used in the treatment of diabetes.
Epidemiological studies have indicated that metformin exhibits anti-cancer
activity. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this activity currently
remain unclear. We hypothesized that metformin is cytotoxic in a tumor-specific
environment such as glucose deprivation and/or low oxygen (O2) tension. We herein
demonstrated that metformin was highly cytotoxic under glucose-depleted, but not
hypoxic (2% O2) conditions. In order to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of
this selective cytotoxicity, we treated exposed DNA repair-deficient chicken DT40
cells with metformin under glucose-depleted conditions and measured cellular
sensitivity. Under glucose-depleted conditions, metformin specifically killed
fancc and fancl cells that were deficient in FANCC and FANCL proteins,
respectively, which are involved in DNA interstrand cross-link repair. An
analysis of chromosomal aberrations in mitotic chromosome spreads revealed that a
clinically relevant concentration of metformin induced DNA double-strand breaks
(DSBs) in fancc and fancl cells under glucose-depleted conditions. In summary,
metformin induced DNA damage under glucose-depleted conditions and selectively
killed cells. This metformin-mediated selective toxicity may suppress the growth
of malignant tumors that are intrinsically deprived of glucose.
