Abstract
Objective
To explore the mechanism of metformin in treating CCRCC.
Methods
Prospective cohort study was conducted. SOD and cyclin D in six CCRCC samples donated by volunteers were detected to compare the degree of oxidative stress injury and the status of cell proliferation. 786-0 CCRCC cells were cultured in vitro with different concentrations of metformin, and MTT assay and Transwell cell migration and wound healing assay were used to detect their proliferation and migration. After culture, SOD and cyclin D in 786-0 CCRCC cells were also detected.
Results
In the edge tissue, SOD was lower than in the tumor nest and normal tissue, and cyclin D was highly expressed. In grade II CCRCC, SOD was higher than in grade IV CCRCC, but cyclin D was also highly expressed in grade IV CCRCC. The cell proliferation rate and density of the metformin group were lower than the control group, while in the high-concentration metformin group, it was lower than medium- and low-concentration groups. After culture, the migration of 786-0 cells in the metformin group was significantly lower than that in the control group, the wound healing rate was decreased, and the migration and wound healing rates in the high-concentration metformin group were significantly lower than those in the medium- and low-concentration groups. However, the SOD of the metformin group was higher than the control group, but the cyclin D was lower, while the SOD was higher than medium- and low-concentration groups in the high-concentration group, but the cyclin D was lower after cultured.
Conclusion
High-concentration metformin can reduce oxidative stress injury, increase the expression of SOD in CCRCC, and reduce cyclin D in CCRCC to inhibit proliferation and migration, which has optimistic prospects and application value in controlling the progression of CCRCC.
