Metformin, an oral biguanide widely used to treat type 2 diabetes, is a very promising anti-aging agent Population studies indicate that metformin treatment is associated with a decreased incidence of breast cancer (Bodmer et al.).
Research has shown that various factors influence tumor growth and regulation, including human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) and the mTOR/p70S6K signaling pathway Studies indicate that these mechanisms play a crucial role in cancer progression and response to treatment, particularly in the context of pancreatic cancer Notable findings highlight the significance of p53 in protecting against tumor development, underscoring the complexity of cancer biology and the need for targeted therapeutic strategies.
The present study elucidates the molecular mechanisms of metformin action, focusing on the regulation of SIRT1 and its relationship with PGC-1α-related factor 2 (PGC-1α-RF2) This research highlights the significant role of these factors in metabolic processes, contributing to a deeper understanding of their implications in health and disease.

The majority of breast cancer tumors express ERα and PR, as indicated by a recent study (Rodriguez and Potter, 2013) This expression of ERα regulates breast cancer cell proliferation and survival In human breast tissue, the metabolite 4-hydroxyestradiol (4-OHE2), formed by ERβ, generates free radicals from reductive-oxidative signaling Estrogen quinones cause oxidative DNA damage and form mutagenic depurinating adducts, leading to the development and evolution of breast cancer.
The regulation of the proteins A1A and A1B is influenced by the arginine hydrolase (AHR), which acts as a ligand-activated transcription factor This active transcriptional AHR/arginine hydrolase complex modulates the transcriptional activity of responsive elements (XRE) in the proteins A1A and A1B, leading to enhanced transcription Emerging evidence highlights the significant role of AHR, A1A, and A1B in breast, lung, and hepatic cellular environments.

The expression of TD0 or inhibition of TD0 activity may have therapeutic applications in pain treatment (Munn and Mellor, 2004; Opitz et al., 2011).
Sρ1 regulates the expression of numerous genes related to cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis by binding to G-γ-regulatory elements through three egr2h2-type fingers present at the terminal domain (Kadońaga et al., 1988) An increase in Sρ1 transcriptional activity is associated with tumorigenesis through modulation of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes (Eastwood-Rivera et al., 2001; Stoner et al., 2004).

Evidence clearly suggests that H0-1 plays a significant role in the industry of thermoelectric pathways (Józkowiak et al., 2007; Migake et al.).
In 2011, Sass et al highlighted that H0-1 is significantly up-regulated in tumor tissues, with its expression further increased in response to therapy Overexpression of H0-1 can inhibit tumor cell apoptosis and promote tumor angiogenesis, growth, and metastasis, as noted by Liu et al in 2004 and Jozkowiak et al.
In recent studies, the inhibition of H0-1 expression has been proposed as a potential therapeutic approach to enhance the sensitivity of tumors to chemotherapy and radiotherapy Research by Alaoui-Jamali et al (2009), Berra et al (2005), and Fang et al (2004) supports this notion, highlighting the importance of targeting H0-1 in cancer treatment strategies.

Siгƚ1 is a mammalian PAD-dependent histone deacetylase that plays a crucial role in various cellular processes, including metabolism, cellular redox balance, resistance to oxidative stress, aging, oncogenesis, and tissue development.
Important transcription factors regulate critical processes, including p53 (Lu et al., 2001; Vaziri et al., 2001) and the pro-apoptotic protein, PIG3 (Amati et al., 2009) Additionally, the forkhead homeobox type O (FOXO) proteins play a significant role in these regulatory mechanisms (Frazzi et al., 2009).

The role of signaling pathways in promoting cell growth and apoptosis has been extensively studied, particularly in human breast, lung, and prostate cancer cells Research indicates that the regulation of the signaling protein, Siгƚ1, is crucial for enhancing cell proliferation and survival Downregulation of Siгƚ1 by antisense oligonucleotides has been shown to inhibit growth and viability in human prostate cancer cells, inducing apoptosis and enhancing radiation-induced anti-proliferative effects Furthermore, pharmacological inhibition of Siгƚ1 has been linked to apoptosis in leukemia stem cells and reduced growth in both in vitro and in vivo models These findings suggest that Siгƚ1 plays a significant role in facilitating apoptosis and may serve as a potential therapeutic target in cancer treatment.
Recent studies have shown that the presence of the 23 ρ53 +/- gene variant influences tumorigenesis in ρ53 +/- mice (Wang et al., 2008) Additionally, a recent report indicated that reservoir-induced apoptosis occurs in wild-type ρ53 Hodgkin's lymphoma cells, which is related to signaling pathways involving ρ53 and F0X03a.
Research by Fгazzi et al (2013) indicates that Sirt1 has an oncogenic effect in wild-type p53-expressing cells but exhibits a tumor-suppressive effect in mutated p53 cells Therefore, down-regulating Sirt1 expression or inhibiting its activity may serve as an effective strategy for treating cancers harboring wild-type p53 Additionally, Nrf2 acts as a redox-sensitive transcription factor that regulates the expression of various genes.
The regulation of the NF-kB pathway, particularly through the involvement of genes such as homeobox gene-1 (H0-1) and antioxidant enzymes like superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2), plays a crucial role in enhancing cell survival and resistance to anti-cancer drugs in various tumors (Wang et al., 2008) NF-kB expression is positively regulated by Sirt1 (Kulkarn et al., 2014), and it has been shown to be involved in tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) resistance in cancer cells (Arlt et al., 2009) Down-regulation of Sirt1 leads to the induction of death receptor 5 (DR5), highlighting its significance in apoptosis regulation.
Down-regulation in breast cancer cells involves the suppression of HO-1 expression through inhibition of a Raf/ERK/Nrf2 signaling pathway and AMPK-independent pathways Additionally, metformin up-regulates miR-34a to down-regulate the Sirt1/PgC-1α/Nrf2 pathway, which increases the susceptibility of wild-type p53 cancer cells to oxidative stress Metformin induces HO-1 homology protein (HOP) and DR5 expression, enhancing TRAIL-induced apoptosis in wild-type p53 cancer cells.

The time-dependent manner in breast cancer cells supports the thesis that metabolic down-regulation affects gene expression at the transcriptional level.
Metformin treatment alone down-regulated AHR expression and suppressed EGR1-promoted luciferase activity in breast cancer cells To confirm the role of the transcriptional factor AHR in the down-regulation of EGR1A1 and EGR1B1 by metformin, MCF-7 cells were transiently transfected with an XRE promoter luciferase construct and treated with metformin (1–5 mM) for 24 hours Metformin treatment significantly suppressed XRE luciferase activity Moreover, pre-treatment with metformin for 1 hour markedly attenuated TCDD-induced XRE luciferase activity in breast cancer cells Additional evidence was provided by siRNA-mediated knockdown of AHR expression, which significantly reduced constitutive AHR, EGR1A1, and EGR1B1 protein levels These results demonstrated that AHR down-regulation plays a crucial role in metformin-mediated suppression of EGR1A1 and EGR1B1 expression.

The present study investigated the hypothesis that the anti-tumor effects of metformin in cancer cells were linked to a decrease in HO-1 expression Human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2, lung adenocarcinoma A549, and cervical carcinoma HeLa cell lines were treated with metformin (1–5 mM) at 37°C for 24 hours, and HO-1 protein levels were analyzed using Western blotting As shown in Figure 9A, metformin significantly inhibited HO-1 protein expression in a dose-dependent manner across all three cell lines tested.
A549 cells exhibit significant overexpression of HO-1 Further experiments were conducted to determine whether the reduction of HO-1 protein in these cell lines was due to the inhibition of mRNA expression RT-PCR analysis revealed that HO-1 mRNA levels were also suppressed by metformin treatment Interestingly, metformin attenuated HO-1 and NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1) protein expression in A549 cells in a time-dependent manner Results indicated that metformin strongly down-regulates HO-1 mRNA and protein expression in several A549 cell lines.

The study demonstrated that the induced NF2 protein stability and its release into the nucleus in HepG2 cells were significantly suppressed Additionally, qRT-PCR analysis revealed that metformin notably inhibited NF2 mRNA expression in HepG2 cells An ARE-luciferase reporter was utilized to evaluate the effects of metformin on ARE promoter activity.
After 24 hours of treatment, a dose-dependent reduction of Nrf2 protein levels was observed in HeLa and A549 cells Conversely, the protein level of Keap1 was not affected by metformin.
These findings indicate that metformin down-regulates Pgf2 expression in several pancreatic cells through a Kappa1-independent mechanism.

The upstream kinases in metformin-treated HEPG2, HeLa, and A549 cells were evaluated, focusing on the status of MAPK phosphorylation Treatment with 1–5 mM metformin for 24 hours led to significant suppression of Raf and ERK1/2 phosphorylation in a dose-dependent manner, while other MAPKs (p-SAPK/JNK and p-p38) showed no significant changes Additionally, metformin reduced the expression of the transcription factor Pgf2 via inhibition of Raf-ERK signaling In HEPG2 cells treated with 20 µM PD98059 (a MEK1/2 inhibitor) for 24 hours, Pgf2 mRNA expression was assessed by qRT-PCR, revealing that the MEK1/2 inhibitor also strongly suppressed Pgf2 mRNA expression in HEPG2 cells.
After 24 hours of treatment, the combination of 20 µM PD98059 and 2.5 mM metformin significantly inhibited the expression of HO-1 protein in HepG2 cells These findings suggest that the inhibition of NRF2 expression by metformin in HepG2 cells is mediated by the activation of Raf-ERK signaling.

The regulation of Raf-ERK signaling through the use of methformin is essential for the down-regulation of Prf2 expression in pancreatic cells The effects of methformin on the phosphorylation of Raf and ERK were observed in HepG2, HeLa, and A549 cells, as demonstrated by Western blotting Additionally, the impact of the MEK1/2 inhibitor PD98059 on Prf2 mRNA expression in HepG2 cells was assessed Total RNA was extracted, and Prf2 mRNA expression was quantified using qRT-PCR All experiments were conducted in triplicate, with results presented as mean ± SD, and statistical significance was determined with *P < 0.05 compared to the control.
The treatment of HepG2 cells with PD98059 (20 µM) and metformin (2.5 mM) for 24 hours significantly reduces HO-1 protein expression in these cells Following treatment, cell lysates were analyzed using Western blotting with antibodies specific for HO-1 and β-actin.

Metformin significantly suppressed HO-1 expression in HeLa cells, which lack the endogenous LKB1 required for AMPK activation Further results indicated that metformin strongly induces AMPK activation in HepG2 cells after 24 hours of treatment However, metformin did not induce AMPKα phosphorylation in HeLa cells, suggesting that metformin regulates HO-1 expression through AMPK-independent mechanisms To verify whether AMPK activation plays an indispensable role in the down-regulation of HO-1 expression by metformin, AMPKα expression was knocked down by a small interfering RNA (siRNA) Results indicated that in AMPKα-depleted HepG2 cells, metformin treatment also significantly reduced HO-1 protein levels to a similar extent as the control siRNA-transfected cells To confirm these findings, HepG2 cells were transfected with pDNA 3.1 (control) or a dominant-negative form of AMPK (DN-AMPK) for 48 hours, followed by incubation with metformin.

The effects of metformin on Sirt1 expression were investigated in several cancer cell lines expressing different forms of p53 The cell lines used included MEF-7, HCT 116, and A549, which express wild-type p53, as well as MDA-MB-231 cells harboring a mutated p53, p53 knockout HCT 116 cells, and null-p53 SKOV3 cell lines Cells were treated with metformin (1–5 mM) for 24 hours, and Western blots were performed to determine the levels of Sirt1 protein in cell lysates Notably, metformin reduced Sirt1 protein levels in all tested MEF-7, HCT 116, and A549 cell lines expressing wild-type p53, while Sirt1 protein levels in cell lines with altered p53 expression were not affected by metformin treatment These results suggest that the effect of metformin on Sirt1 expression is dependent on the p53 status of the cells.

Sirt1 regulates apoptosis by targeting molecules such as p53 (Lu et al., 2001; Vaziri et al., 2001), while p53 can also regulate Sirt1 expression through a positive feedback loop involving the induction of miR-34a (Ferreira et al., 2021).
In a study conducted by Ɣamak̟u et al (2008), the effects of metformin on miR-34a expression were investigated in wild-type p53 MEF-7 and p53-mutant MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells The cells were treated with metformin at concentrations of 0.5 to 1.5 mM for 24 hours, followed by analysis of miR-34a levels The results showed that metformin significantly induced miR-34a levels in wild-type p53 MEF-7 cells, while no changes were observed in the miR-34a levels of p53-mutant MDA-MB-231 cells.
MБ-231 cells (Fig 17A) showed that metformin increased the aggregated form and p53 protein levels after 24 hours of treatment in wild-type p53 MEF-7 cells, but did not affect p53 expression in p53-mutant MБ-231 cells (Fig 17B and C) Additionally, metformin early treatment demonstrated significant effects on cellular responses.

Recent results from Western blot analysis confirmed that p53 expression was successfully knocked out in p53 -/- HET 116 cells, while increased p53 levels were observed in p53 wild-type HET 116 cells To elucidate the role of miR-34a in the regulation of metformin-induced SIRT1 down-regulation, we transferred MEF-7 cells with a miR-34a inhibitor for 24 hours and then treated the cells with 5 mM metformin for an additional 24 hours The miR-34a inhibitor reversed metformin-mediated down-regulation of SIRT1 protein levels Additionally, a miR-34a mimic significantly reduced SIRT1 protein levels after 24 hours of transfer in MEF-7 cells These results demonstrated that p53-dependent induction of miR-34a is required for the reduction of SIRT1 by metformin.
The effects of metformin on miR-34a levels in wild-type p53 MEF-7 and p53-mutated MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells were analyzed using qRT-PCR All experiments were conducted in triplicate, with results presented as mean ± SD; statistical significance was determined with *P < 0.05 compared to control Additionally, the impact of metformin on p53 protein expression in wild-type p53 MEF-7 cells was also evaluated.
MDA-MB-231 cells exhibit a significant reduction in p53 mutation levels Western blot analysis of p53 and β-actin protein levels in cell lysates indicated that metformin induced p53 protein levels in wild-type p53 A549 lung cancer cells.

The expression of the regenerative HO-1 and anti-oxidative SOD2 enzymes was regulated by Nrf2 (Hegarty et al., 2014) Metformin reduced HO-1 and SOD2 protein levels after 24 hours of treatment in MEF-7 cells (Fig 19D).
However, the levels of catalase protein in the same treatment condition were regulated The expression of SOD2, catalase, and HO-1 plays a crucial role in controlling the balance of ROS and cellular protection against oxidative stress Intracellular ROS production was determined in metformin or H202-stimulated MEF-7 breast cancer cells As shown, metformin (1–5 mM) did not affect total basal ROS, while ROS production was significantly increased five-fold by stimulation with H202.
Treatment with 100 µM metformin did not alter ROS generation after 24 hours Interestingly, pre-treatment with metformin for 24 hours significantly enhanced H202-induced cell death and apoptosis in MEF-7 breast cancer cells However, pre-treatment with metformin did not enhance H202-induced cell death in p53-mutated MDA-MB-231 cells.
