摘要:
Inorganic arsenic, a ubiquitous environmental contaminant, is associated with an increased risk of cancer. There are several hypotheses regarding arsenic-induced carcinogenesis. The mechanism of action remains obscure, although hyper-proliferation of cells is involved. In the present study, the molecular mechanisms underlying the proliferation and malignant transformation of human embryo lung fibroblast (HELF) cells induced by a low concentration of arsenite were investigated. The results reveal that a low concentration of arsenite induces cell proliferation and promotes cell cycle transition from the G(1) to the S phase. Moreover, arsenite activates the JNK1/c-Jun signal pathway, but not JNK2, which up-regulates the expression of cyclin D1/CDK4 and phosphorylates the retinoblastoma (Rb) protein. Blocking of the iNK1/c-Jun signal pathway suppresses the increases of cyclin D1 expression and Rb phosphorylation, which attenuates cell proliferation, reduces the transition from the Cl to the S phase, and thereby inhibits the neoplastic transformation of HELF cells induced by a low concentration of arsenite. Thus, activation of the JNK1/c-Jun pathway up-regulates the expression of cyclin D1, which is involved in the tumorigenesis caused by a low concentration of arsenite. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
