Long-term exposure of human endothelial cells to metformin modulates miRNAs and isomiRs

Abstract excerpt

Increasing evidence suggest that the glucose-lowering drug metformin exerts a valuable anti-senescence role. The ability of metformin to affect the biogenesis of selected microRNAs (miRNAs) was recently suggested. MicroRNA isoforms (isomiRs) are distinct variations of miRNA sequences, harboring addition or deletion of one or more nucleotides at the 5' and/or 3' ends of the canonical miRNA sequence. We performed a...
