Abstract
Although arsenic and ultraviolet light B (UVB) are both causes for skin cancers, lesions of arsenic-induced Bowen's disease are often confined to sun-protected skin. UVB may play a modulatory role in skin carcinogenesis by arsenic. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects and interactions of arsenic and UVB on cell cycle progression and apoptosis. Cultured human keratinocytes were treated with sodium arsenite (1 microM) and/or UVB (50 mJ/cm(2)) irradiation in different combinations: (i) arsenic alone, (ii) UVB alone, (iii) arsenic followed by UVB (As-UVB), and (iv) UVB followed by arsenic (UVB-As) treatments. Cell cycle analysis and BrdU pulsing revealed S phase arrest in all treatment groups and growth arrest in As-UVB and UVB-As groups. The terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated deoxyuridine nick-end labeling assay showed a higher apoptosis rate in the UVB-As group as compared to that of the As-UVB and UVB groups. UVB irradiation significantly decreased Bcl-2 expression. In either the As-UVB or the UVB-As group, the expression of Bcl-2 was further suppressed as compared to the UVB group. The caspase-3, -8, and -9 relative activities were all increased in the UVB group; however, arsenic significantly enhan...Continue Reading
