Metformin reduces PD-L1 on tumor cells and enhances the anti-tumor immune response generated by vaccine immunotherapy

Luis Enrique Munoz et al.

Summary: Our study found that the combination of metformin and vaccine immunotherapy reduced surface PD-L1 expression in responsive tumors. In vitro experiments showed that metformin's effect on tumor cell PD-L1 expression is mediated in part by AMP-activated protein kinase signaling. While vaccination increased T cell infiltration in all tumor models, this effect was not potentiated by metformin. However, metformin did lead to an increase in CD8 T cells expressing certain markers and effector cytokine production after treatment with tumor membrane vesicle vaccine.

Sensitizing tumors to anti-PD-1 therapy by promoting NK and CD8+T cells via pharmacological activation of FOXO3

Young Min Chung et al.

Summary: The study explored the efficacy of low-dose antineoplastic agents SN-38 or metformin in sensitizing unresponsive tumors to respond to immune-checkpoint blockade therapy. Results showed these agents could suppress c-Myc and STAT3 through FOXO3 activation, thus boosting antitumor immunity by promoting NK and CD8+ T cell infiltration in the tumor microenvironment. These findings offer potential insights for improving patient responses to immunotherapy for tumors.

Metformin generates profound alterations in systemic and tumor immunity with associated antitumor effects

Ratna Veeramachaneni et al.

Summary: Metformin has complex systemic and local immune effects that vary depending on treatment duration. Acute metformin exposure does not show significant antitumor activity, but long-term treatment can reduce tumor growth velocity, increase the CD8+/T-reg ratio, and enhance tumor infiltrating lymphocyte levels. Combinatorial strategies with immune checkpoint inhibitors need to consider these effects in order to maximize antitumor activity in future clinical trials.

Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species trigger metformin-dependent antitumor immunity via activation of Nrf2/mTORC1/p62 axis in tumor-infiltrating CD8T lymphocytes

Mikako Nishida et al.

Summary: Metformin stimulates oxidative stress in CD8TILs, promoting antitumor immunity, and combined treatment with anti-PD-1 antibody effectively inhibits tumor growth by altering the tumor microenvironment.

Metformin promotes anticancer activity of NK cells in a p38 MAPK dependent manner

Wenjiao Xia et al.

Summary: Metformin enhances the cytolytic activity of NK cells by activating the JAK and AKT signaling pathways, leading to improved cancer surveillance and therapy response rates in vivo. It also increases NK cell and T cell infiltration in tumors, providing potential for metformin in cancer treatment strategies.
