History of Arsenic
 Used
over 2,400 years for medical
purposes
 In the 18th century: used therapeutically
 Fowler’s solution: 1% arsenic trioxide in
potassium bicarbonate, major therapy for
leukemia treatment
 In the 19th century: materia medica
 In the 1970s: Chinese researcher studied
as a treatment for acute promyelocytic
leukemia (APL)
Arsenic

Two main categories of compounds





Organic
Inorganic
Organic arsenic compounds are
combined with Hydrogen and Carbon
Inorganic arsenic compounds contain
Oxygen, Chlorine, and Sulfur.
Inorganic arsenic is more harmful than
organic arsenic.

Arsenic is Toxic





Arsenic has been linked to several forms of
cancer
Arsenic is associated with heart, lung,
immunological, nerve and hormone problems.
Inorganic arsenic has both acute and chronic
toxic effects.
How arsenic causes cancer is not well
understood.
Apoptosis may be involved.

PLHC-1 Cell lines
 Poeciliopsis
lucida hepatocellular
carcinoma
 Derived from a liver tumor from topminnow
 Used to screen heavy metals and other
environmental toxins using a combined
stress protein and cytotoxicity assay.
Comet Assay – DNA Damage
DNA fragmentation assay

Monitor apoptosis using PLHC-1 cells induced
by As2O3 and Cadmium Chloride
 Apoptosis





Nuclear chromatin condensation
Shrinkage of cells
Disintegration of nuclear membrane
Break down of plasma membrane and formation of
membrane-bound broken down cells (apoptotic
bodies)
Degraded nuclear DNA into ‘DNA ladder’ (Wyllie,
1981).
This picture shows that arsenite-treated TO-2 cell
line has no DNA ladder and arsenite-treated JF
cell line detect apoptosis (Wang et al. 2004).
Materials and Methods
Cells were grown in T-75 cm2 flasks at 30oC CO2
Incubator in Minimum essential medium (Eagle)
with 2 mM L-glutamine and Earle's BSS
adjusted to contain 1.5 g/L sodium bicarbonate,
0.1 mM non-essential amino acids, and 1.0 mM
sodium pyruvate, 95%; fetal bovine serum, 5%
and 1% penicillin streptomycin.
 Cadmium Chloride 0.1M solution 1, 2 and 10 mM
was prepared for comet

Why Does DNA Laddering Occur?

The FragELTM DNA fragmentation Detection
Kit, Fluorescent TdT Enzyme from
CalBiochem
 Enzymatic
addition of labeled
nucleotides was carried out by using
Terminal Deoxynucleotidyl
Transferase (TdT) and fluorescein
labeled deoxynucleotides.
 The Bio-Rad MRC1024 Confocal
Scanning Microscope
No arsenic treatment control cells.

Future Directions


Comet Assay: Controls have background
problems and it could be trypsin or cell growth
pattern.
DNA ladder assay: PLHC-1 may have different
pathway
MTT assay: I am repeating this assay for my
class, if it works I will add to the thesis.
Western blot: I am repeating this assay for my
class, if it works I will add to the thesis.
Other experiments: DAPI, HSP-70, Caspase,
TUNEL assay etc..
Conclusions
 PLHC-1
cells can be useful for comet
assay
 As2O3 causes DNA damages in PLHC-1
cells a dose dependent fashion. 1 hour
had better data in comet assay than 2
hours because cells were more damaged
after 2 hours.
 As2O5 also cause DNA damage but it was
less consistent than As2O3
Conclusions

As2O3 did not cause DNA laddering in PLHC-1
cells.
 Camptothecin and Cadmium also did not cause
DNA laddering in PLHC-1 cells.
 Wang et al. shows that some fish cells do not
have DNA laddering during apoptosis.
 The FragELTM DNA fragmentation Detection Kit
Assay was positive for apoptosis DNA damages
with PLHC-1 cell in As2O3 treatment.
