Inorganic arsenic (arsenite and arsenate) in drinking water has been associated with skin cancers and increased incidence of cardiovascular diseases. Additionally, studies have demonstrated the pro-angiogenic effect of arsenite and its potential promotion of tumor angiogenesis and tumor progression. Furthermore, recent reports demonstrated reversal of skin co-carcinogenesis by an organoselenium compound. The present study was undertaken to determine the effect and mechanism on angiogenesis of arsenite at low level and its potential reversal by various selenium-derived compounds. The pro-angiogenesis effects and mechanisms of sodium arsenite were determined using the chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) model over 3 days and compared with standard pro-angiogenesis factors, such as basic fibroblast growth factor (b-FGF). Additionally, the potential effect of various selenium-derived compounds-such as dimethyl selenone, diphenyl selenone, sodium selenite or Se-methyl selenocysteine-in reversing the pro-angiogenesis effect of arsenite or b-FGF was also determined in the CAM model. The pro-angiogenesis effect of arsenite or b-FGF was significantly (P < 0.01) blocked by dimethyl selenone, diphenyl selenone, sodium selenite or Se-methyl selenocysteine. The pro-angiogenesis effect of either sodium arsenite at 33 nM or b-FGF was blocked (P < 0.01) by the extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) activation inhibitor, PD 98059. Additionally, the pro-angiogenic effect of arsenic or b-FGF was blocked as well (P < 0.01) by the alpha v beta 3 antagonist, XT199. These data suggest that the pro-angiogenesis effect of arsenic is initiated at the plasma membrane integrin alpha v beta 3, involves activation of the ERK1/2 pathway and is effectively reversed by various selenium-derived compounds.
