In a second experiment, B and T lymphocytes and monocyte-derived macrophages cultured from healthy human peripheral blood were stimulated with sodium arsenite, sodium arsenate, lipopolysaccharide and interferon-gamma.

Sodium arsenite (Ars) or hyperthermia (43 degrees C) induced the synthesis of hsp72 messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein in hepatocytes, indicating activation of the HSR.
In the absence of the HSR, combinations of interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), and interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) stimulated high levels of NOS2 mRNA and nitric oxide (NO) synthesis.

Pretreatment with sodium arsenite strongly inhibited IL-6-inducible STAT3 tyrosine phosphorylation in HepG2 cells and did not affect its serine phosphorylation.
Both cellular and subcelluar experiments showed that the inhibition of JAK-STAT signaling resulted from JAK tyrosine kinase's direct interaction with arsenite, and that arsenic's suppression of JAK tyrosine kinase activity also occurred in the interferon gamma (IFNgamma) pathway.

Intra-gastric exposure to arsenic (as sodium arsenite) for 30 days (1, 0.1, or 0.01 mg/kg/day), reduced the proportion of CD4+ cells and the CD4+/CD8+ ratio in the spleen, increasing the proportion of CD11b+ cells.
Arsenic exposure reduced the proliferative response of SMC to Con-A, and also reduced secretion of IL-2, IL-6, IL-12 and IFNgamma.

When these endothelial cells were treated first with tumor necrosis factor-alpha followed by induction of the heat shock response with either heat or sodium arsenite (As), a standard chemical inducer of the heat shock response in vitro, a tumor necrosis factor dose-dependent cytotoxicity was observed, similar to that which we had seen previously in porcine endothelial cells primed with LPS.

Mol Biol Rep. 2010 Mar 26.

Relative quantification of expression of IFNgamma and IL2 revealed that both genes were significantly down regulated (P < 0.001) at both concentrations at each time point. iNOS gene was rapidly down regulated in splenocytes at 24 h at the high doses of As treated splenocyte, a gradual decreasing trend at low doses.

The expression of bradyzoite-specific proteins has been induced by modifying the culture conditions in any of the following three ways: increasing the pH of the culture medium (pH 8), shifting temperature from 37 to 43 degrees C, or performing a sodium arsenite treatment.
Interferon-gamma, described as involved in the control of toxoplasmosis in vivo, was inefficient to trigger bradyzoite proteins expression in HFF host cells in vitro.

In the FRTL5 rat cell line, which had been heated at 42.5 degrees C or treated with sodium arsenite, expression of hsp-72 was examined with immunoperoxidase staining and immunoprecipitation of the metabolically labelled protein using a specific MoAb.
