Both acute (24 h) and chronic (10-20 week) exposure of human fibroblast cells to low dose sodium arsenite (As (III)) significantly affects activating protein-1 (AP-1) and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappa B) DNA binding activity.

To investigate the mechanism of arsenic-induced apoptosis and related alterations in NF-kappa B and AP-1 activity, we exposed cultured human foreskin keratinocytes to different concentrations of sodium arsenite.

The transcription factor nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappa B), normally sequestered in the cytoplasm by its inhibitory protein, I kappa B, regulates many genes involved in inflammatory responses to critical illness.
METHODS: The stress response was induced in mice by hyperthermia (42 degrees C) or injection with sodium arsenite (10 mg/kg).

Responsiveness of LEC to oxidative stress caused by arsenic exposure was further evaluated with mobility shift assay involving redox-sensitive transcription factor NF-kappa B.

Because HSP induction inhibits genetic expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, the transcription of which is dependent on NF-kappa B activation, we explored the relationship between the anti-inflammatory effect of HSP induction and the NF-kappa B/I kappa B alpha pathway.
Both HS and sodium arsenite treatment increased HSP70 expression time dependently at mRNA and protein levels.

N-acetyl-L-cysteine at 50 microM concentration inhibited arsenite-induced NF-kappa B and AP-1.
These mesencephalic cells were treated with low concentrations of sodium arsenite (0.1, 0.5, 1, 5, and 10 microM) and incubated for different periods of time (0-4 h).
