タイトル Effect of pentavalent inorganic arsenic salt on erythropoietin production and autophagy induction.
ジャーナル Arch Biochem Biophys
Abstract Arsenic is abundant in the environment and takes the form of trivalent and pentavalent arsenic compounds. Arsenite has been reported to both promote and suppress erythropoietin (EPO) production and autophagy induction. EPO production is involved in hematopoiesis, and autophagy induction is involved in cytoprotection, both of which are thought to be cellular responses to arsenic stress. While there are reports that show the effects of EPO on autophagy induction, the relationship between EPO production and autophagy induction is unclear. Therefore, this study analyzed the effect of the pentavalent inorganic arsenic salt arsenate on EPO production in vitro and in vivo and EPO-induced autophagy in HepG2 cells. Exposure of HepG2 cells to low-concentration arsenate was observed to increase EPO production and induced autophagy. Moreover, a ROS scavenger suppressed the arsenate-induced increase in autophagy and EPO mRNA levels. Both EPO production and autophagy induction contributed to protection from arsenate-induced cytotoxic stress. HepG2 cells expressed the EPO receptor and production of EPO by HepG2 cells acted in an autoregulatory manner to suppress autophagy induction. In vivo administration of low-concentration arsenate to rats increased EPO mRNA levels in the liver and kidney. These results suggested that low-concentration arsenate promotes EPO production and autophagy induction in HepG2 cells, and the resultant EPO production contributes to cytoprotection of cultured cells via EPO receptor activation.
