摘要

We and others have hypothesized that a mechanism of arsenic carcinogenesis could involve alteration of DNA methylation since this process utilizes a methyltransferase and consumes S-adenosyl-methionine (SAM) as the methyl donor. We analyzed differentially methylated regions of genomic DNA from human lung A549 cells and three human kidney cell lines (UOK cell lines) after arsenite treatment using methylation-sensitive arbitrarily primed PCR (MS-APPCR). Relative to untreated controls, six DNA fragments identified by MS-APPCR were hypermethylated and two were hypo-methylated in DNA from these lung and kidney cell lines. Two of the DNA fragments contained repeat sequences of mammalian-apparent long terminal repeat retrotransposons (MaLRs), and five were identified to be promoter-like sequences. DNA methylation alterations were manifested at low nanomolar concentrations in some cell lines. The mRNA for DNA methyltransferase (MTase) increased in cells exposed to arsenite over a 2-week period. Our results show the occurrence of both hypermethylation and hypomethylation of DNA after exposure to arsenite. The results support the existence of a state of methylation imbalance (hypo- and hypermethylation) that could conceivably disrupt gene expression in arsenic exposed cells in vitro.
