18996220 Ruiz-Ramos R, Lopez-Carrillo L, Rios-Perez AD, De Vizcaya-Ruiz A, Cebrian ME: Sodium arsenite induces ROS generation, DNA oxidative damage, HO-1 and c-Myc proteins, NF-kappaB activation and cell proliferation in human breast cancer MCF-7 cells. Mutat Res. 2009 Mar 31;674(1-2):109-15. Epub 2008 Oct 18.

Therefore, our aim was to further explore the ability of sodium arsenite to induce MCF-7 epithelial breast cell proliferation and some of its underlying mechanisms by studying ROS production, c-Myc and HO-1 protein levels, 8-OHdG formation and NF-kappaB activation.

Total cell numbers, as well as c-myc expression and incorporation of [3H] thymidine, both indicators of cell proliferation, were also elevated in keratinocyte cultures treated with sodium arsenite.

Treatment with sodium arsenite resulted in a significant increase in cell proliferation, as indicated by increases in cell numbers, c-myc gene expression, and incorporation of [3H] thymidine into cellular DNA.

Liver tumors and nontumorous liver samples were taken at necropsy from adult male mice exposed in utero to either 42.5 or 85 ppm arsenic as sodium arsenite or unaltered water from day 8 to 18 of gestation.
Overexpression of alpha-fetoprotein, c-myc, cyclin D1, proliferation-associated protein PAG, and cytokeratin-18 were more dramatic in arsenic-induced HCC than spontaneous tumors.

Analysis of positive proliferative regulators revealed an increase in the expression of c-myc and E2F-1, thereby supporting the hypothesis that arsenic increases activity of positive growth modulators.

Amplification of the c-myc or c-Ha-ras oncogene was detected in 3 of 5 and 4 of 5 tumorigenic cell lines, respectively.
In order to investigate the ability of inorganic arsenics to transform normal cells into a neoplastic state, mass cultures of normal, diploid Syrian hamster embryo (SHE) cells exposed to various concentrations of sodium arsenite or sodium arsenate for 48 hr were continually passaged and tested for neoplastic transformation, as determined by anchorage-independent growth in semisolid agar and tumorigenicity in newborn hamsters.

These include AP-1, AP-2, NF-kB, C/EBP, c-Myc and a metal-responding element identified in the promoter region, and two Sp-1 elements in intron 1.
Transient expression studies in transfected primary cultures of chick embryo liver cells showed that a CAT reporter gene construct containing 2.8 kb of the cHO-1 promoter region responded to sodium arsenite, H2O2, transition metals and 12-0-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate, but not to heme.

Human small airway epithelial cells (SAECs) previously immortalized with human telomerase reverse transcriptase (h-TERT) were continuously treated with sodium arsenite at a dose of 0.5 microg/mL in culture for up to 6 months.
In addition, arsenic-treated cells showed an increase in c-H-ras, c-myc, and c-fos protein expression relative to controls.
