Metformin Improves the Function of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Patient-Derived Aortic Smooth Muscle Cells.
Objective: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a cardiovascular risk factor. Paradoxically, a decreased risk of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) presence and growth rate is described among patients with T2DM, associated with metformin use. This study aimed to investigate the effect of metformin on AAA patient-derived aortic smooth muscle cell (SMC) function.
Methods: Aortic biopsies were obtained from patients with AAA (n = 21) and controls (n = 17) during surgery. The SMCs of non-pathological aortic controls, non-diabetic patients with AAA, and diabetic patients with AAA were cultured from explants and treated with or without metformin. The SMC contractility was measured upon ionomycin stimulation, as well as metabolic activity, proliferation, and migration. mRNA and protein expression of markers for contraction, metabolic activity, proliferation, and inflammation were measured.
Results: mRNA expression of KLF4 and GYS1, genes involved in metabolic activity, differed between SMCs from non-diabetic and diabetic patients with AAA before metformin stimulation (p < .041). However, the effect of metformin on the various SMC functions was similar between non-diabetic and diabetic patients with AAA. Upon stimulation, metformin increased the contractility of AAA patient SMCs (p = .001). mRNA expression of smoothelin, a marker for the contractile phenotype, increased in SMCs of patients with AAA after treatment with metformin (p = .006). An increase in metabolic activity (p < .001) and a decrease in proliferation (p < .001) and migration were found in the SMCs of controls and patients with AAA with metformin. Increased mRNA expression of PPARγ, a nuclear receptor involved in mitochondrial biogenesis (p < .009), and a decrease in gene expression of Ki-67, a marker for proliferation (p < .005), were observed. Gene expression of inflammation markers MCP-1 and IL-6, and protein expression of NF-κB p65 decreased after treatment with metformin in patients with AAA.
Conclusion: This study found that metformin increases contractility and metabolic activity, and reduces proliferation, migration, and inflammation in aortic SMCs in vitro.
期刊介绍:
The European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery is aimed primarily at vascular surgeons dealing with patients with arterial, venous and lymphatic diseases. Contributions are included on the diagnosis, investigation and management of these vascular disorders. Papers that consider the technical aspects of vascular surgery are encouraged, and the journal includes invited state-of-the-art articles.
Reflecting the increasing importance of endovascular techniques in the management of vascular diseases and the value of closer collaboration between the vascular surgeon and the vascular radiologist, the journal has now extended its scope to encompass the growing number of contributions from this exciting field. Articles describing endovascular method and their critical evaluation are included, as well as reports on the emerging technology associated with this field.
