The heat shock response is a highly conserved mechanism of protection elicited in the cell by various kinds of stimuli, such as heat, sodium arsenite, oxidants and inflammation.

We found that production of peroxynitrite, a strong oxidant formed from the coupling of nitric oxide and superoxide anion, was significantly increased in bovine aortic endothelial (BAE) cells exposed to sodium arsenite at concentrations as low as 0.5 microM.

In addition, over-expression of mutant p53 and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) frequently occurs in a variety of human malignancies.
In this study, the relative genotoxicity of sodium arsenite was evaluated in SV-40 immortalized human uroepithelial cells (SV-HUC-1) using the alkaline comet assay.

We report here the use of a combination of sodium arsenite, an inhibitor of NF-kappaB activation, and NS398, a cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor, for restoration of the surface FasL expression.

In vitro studies have suggested that iAs can modulate the activity of macrophages producing an over-expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and resulting in an increase in prostaglandin E (2) (PGE (2)) concentrations in endothelial cells.
Rats were given a single dose of sodium arsenite (0.1, 1 and 10 mg/kg i.p.) or submitted to subchronic exposure to arsenic added to the drinking water for 4 weeks (0.1, 1, 10 and 100 ppm).
