Metformin 0-9 5'-nucleotidase ecto Homo sapiens 40-44 29374065-2 2018 We show here that metformin treatment blocks the suppressive function of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) in patients with ovarian cancer by downregulating the expression and ectoenzymatic activity of CD39 and CD73 on monocytic and polymononuclear MDSC subsets. Metformin 18-27 5'-nucleotidase ecto Homo sapiens 217-221 29374065-3 2018 Metformin triggered activation of AMP-activated protein kinase alpha and subsequently suppressed hypoxia-inducible factor alpha, which was critical for induction of CD39/CD73 expression in MDSC. Metformin 0-9 5'-nucleotidase ecto Homo sapiens 170-174 29374065-4 2018 Furthermore, metformin treatment correlated with longer overall survival in diabetic patients with ovarian cancer, which was accompanied by a metformin-induced reduction in the frequency of circulating CD39+CD73+ MDSC and a concomitant increase in the antitumor activities of circulating CD8+ T cells. Metformin 13-22 5'-nucleotidase ecto Homo sapiens 207-211 29374065-4 2018 Furthermore, metformin treatment correlated with longer overall survival in diabetic patients with ovarian cancer, which was accompanied by a metformin-induced reduction in the frequency of circulating CD39+CD73+ MDSC and a concomitant increase in the antitumor activities of circulating CD8+ T cells. Metformin 142-151 5'-nucleotidase ecto Homo sapiens 207-211 29374065-5 2018 Our results highlight a direct effect of metformin on MDSC and suggest that metformin may yield clinical benefit through improvement of antitumor T-cell immunity by dampening CD39/CD73-dependent MDSC immunosuppression in ovarian cancer patients.Significance: The antitumor activity of an antidiabetes drug is attributable to reduced immunosuppressive activity of myeloid-derived tumor suppressor cells. Metformin 76-85 5'-nucleotidase ecto Homo sapiens 180-184 33747526-11 2021 Regulation of the CD39/CD73/adenosine pathway using metformin may represent a therapeutic option to reverse HBV-induced immune pathogenesis.
