Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Studies have found that sodium arsenite can cause the malignant transformation and tumorigenicity of HaCaT cels, but whether low concentrations of sodium arsenite can cause the malignant transformation is rarely reported.
OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of sodium arsenite on the malignant transformation of human immortalized keratinocyte cel lines.
METHODS:HaCaT cels were treated with different concentrations of sodium arsenite. MTT assay was used to determine the effect of sodium arsenite on HaCaT cel morphology and proliferation, flow cytometry used to detect the effect of sodium arsenite on HaCaT cel cycle, and soft agar colony formation experiments assay used to determine the effect of sodium arsenite on HaCaT cel colony formation capacity.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: HaCaT cels grew wel when the concentration of sodium arsenite was 5 mol/L, but the cel growth was inhibited under intervention with 10 and 50 mol/L sodium arsenite. HaCaT cels treated with 0.1 mol/L sodium arsenite were passaged to the 20th generation, and cel morphology had no notable changes; cels at passage 25 exhibited enlarged size and multiple nucleoli, which had a continued proliferation trend. Compared with the primarily cultured cels, 0.1 mol/L sodium arsenite-treated HaCaT cels at passages 15 and 25 had an increased proportion at S phase and G2/M phase, with strengthened proliferation ability and increased colony-forming efficiency, and moreover, the proliferation ability and colony-forming efficiency of passage 25 cels were higher than those of passage 15 cels. These experimental data show that high concentrations of sodium arsenite reduce HaCaT cel viability, and low concentrations of sodium sulfite have a certain influence on the morphology, cel cycle, proliferation ability and colony-forming efficiency of HaCaT cels, and moreover, the proliferation ability and colony-forming efficiency of human immortalized keratinocytes wil be strengthened with the increase of passage.
