Abstract:
Studies show that metformin inhibits the proliferation of several types of cancer cells.All evidences,therefore propose the anti-tumor effect of metformin.Metformin can repress the oxygen consumption of tumor cells,and suppress hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1ct) accumulation through the translational and posttranslational mechanisms,and suppress the expression of HIF-1α by activating AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK).
