| Research Abstract |
We prospectively randomized nondiabetic patients with ACF to treatment with metformin or no treatment.The metformin group had a significant decrease in the mean number of ACF per patient, whereas the mean ACF number did not change significantly in the control group. We examined the potential direct effects of metformin on ACF via PCNA immunostaining for colorectal cell proliferative activity and TUNEL for apoptosis. The PCNA index decreased significantly following metformin treatment, although the apoptotic index did not change significantly. These data suggest that metformin effects in suppressing cell proliferation mediate suppressive effects on ACF formation. This first reported trial of metformin for inhibiting colorectal carcinogenesis in humans provides preliminary evidence that metformin suppresses colonic epithelial proliferation and rectal ACF formation in humans.
