Here we found that metformin significantly suppressed IL-13 induced M2- like polarization of macrophages, as illustrated by reduced expression of CD206, down-regulation of M2 marker mRNAs, and inhibition of M2-1ike macrophages promoted migration of cancer cells and endothelial cells. Metformin triggered AMPKαl activation in macrophage and silencing of AMPKotl partially abrogated the inhibitory effect of metformin in IL-13 induced M2-1ike polarization. Administration of AICAR, another activator of AMPK, also blocked the M2-1ike polarization of macrophages. Metformin greatly reduced the number of metastases of Lewis lung cancer without affecting tumor growth. In tumor tissues, the percentage of M2-1ike macrophage was decreased and the anti-metastatic effect of metformin was abolished the area of pericyte-coated vessels was increased. Further, when the animals were treated with macrophages eliminating agent clodronate liposome. These findings suggest that metformin is able to block the M2-1ike polarization of macrophages partially through AMPKαl, which plays an im- portant role in metformin inhibited metastasis of Lewis lung cancer.展开更多

Studies were carried out at the frequency range of 0 - 1 MHz. It was found that the variation of the volume of filler content of fishbone and aluminum nanoparticles might be prepared composite materials with the required dielectric parameters.展开更多
