In this contribution we consider sequences of monic polynomials orthogonal with respect to the Sobolev-type inner product f,g=⟨uM,fg⟩+λTjf(α)Tjg(α), where uM is the Meixner linear operator, λ∈R+, j∈N, α≤0, and T is the forward difference operator Δ or the backward difference operator ∇. Moreover, we derive an explicit representation for these polynomials. The ladder operators associated with these polynomials are obtained, and the linear difference equation of the second order is also given. In
