Effects of administration styles of arsenic trioxide on intracellular arsenic concentration, cell differentiation and apoptosis.

چکیده
We studied the effects of varying and steady-state concentrations of arsenic trioxide (As2O3) on apoptosis and differentiation of several cell lines in vitro. We also studied the same effects of fluctuating vs constant concentrations of As2O3 in vivo in patients treated with daily 3-hour fast infusions or daily slow, continuous infusions. Intracellular concentrations of arsenic and apoptosis rate were higher whereas differentiation was reduced in cells exposed to constant concentrations of As2O3.

Background: Arsenic trioxide (ATO) has been reported as an effective anti-cancer and a US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved drug for treatment of some cancers. The aim of this study is to determine the underlying apoptosis molecular and cellular mechanisms of ATO in the presence or absence of ionizing radiation (IR) in vitro in the glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) cell line, U87MG. Metho...
متن کاملDithiol compounds at low concentrations increase arsenite toxicity.
Inorganic trivalent arsenicals are vicinal thiol-reacting agents, and dithiothreitol (DTT) is a well-known dithiol agent. Interestingly, both decreasing and increasing effects of DTT on arsenic trioxide-induced apoptosis have been reported. We now provide data to show that, at high concentrations, DTT, dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA), and dimercaptopropanesulfonic acid (DMPS) decreased arsenic t...
متن کاملEnhancement of arsenic trioxide-induced apoptosis in HeLa cells by diethyldithiocarbamate or buthionine sulfoximine.
Arsenic trioxide (ATO) affects many biological functions such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation and angiogenesis in various cells. We investigated the in vitro effects of ATO as a reactive oxygen species (ROS) generator or a glutathione (GSH) depletor on apoptosis in HeLa cells. ATO decreased the viability of HeLa cells in a dose-dependent manner with an IC50 of approximately 5-...
متن کاملMechanisms of action of arsenic trioxide.
Arsenic trioxide has shown substantial efficacy in treating both newly diagnosed and relapsed patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). As a single agent, it induces complete remissions, causing few adverse effects and only minimal myelosuppression. These successes have prompted investigations to elucidate the mechanisms of action underlying these clinical responses. Substantial data sh...

Background and Aim: Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a distinct subtype of acute myeloid leukemia. APL is characterized by a balanced reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 15 and 17, t(517)). Important therapeutic strategies for this disease are ATRA and Arsenic trioxide. To eliminate tumor cells with arsenic, high dose of arsenic is needed. But high dose is toxic for normal tissue....
