Background

Metformin has been shown to reduce cardiovascular risk in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, but the exact mechanism remains unclear. Proposed processes include angiogenesis modification and endothelial repair potentials. However, angiogenesis properties of metformin has been reported to be pleiotrophic. 

Methods

We performed systematic review and meta-analysis conducted from MEDLINE, ScienceDirect, ProQuest, Web of Science, EBSCOhost, and Cochrane Library. The authors screened the articles based on inclusion criteria: (1) Diabetes mellitus type 2 patients; (2) Metformin as interventional therapy; (3) Human studies that have an angiogenesis endothelial marker as an outcome; (4) Written in English. Endothelial markers such as Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), von-Wille-factor (vWf), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), soluble vascular adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), sE-selectin, tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), urinary albumin excretion (UAE), platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1), and thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI) were assessed as angiogenesis outcomes. 

Results

Seven randomized control trials (RCT) and one cross sectional study involving 1,119 patients were included. vWF (OR -0.28 [-0.50, -0.06]; p=0.01), sVCAM-1 (OR -0.33 [-0.46, -0.20]; p<0.00001), ICAM-1 (OR -0.25 [-0.38, -0.11]; p=0.0003), sE-selectin (OR -0.19 [-0.33, -0.05]; p = 0.007), and tPA (OR -0.62 [-0.88, -0.36]; p < 0.00001) were significantly reduced compared before and after metformin treatment using random effect methods. 

Conclusion

Metformin has additional benefits in the improvement of endothelial function, as demonstrated by reduced antiangiogenic levels such as vWF, PAI-1, sVCAM-1, ICAM-1, sE-selectin, and tPA, after metformin treatment.
