Sex-Specific Modulation of Drug Metabolizing Enzymes, Transporters, and Pro-Inflammatory Cytokines by Arsenic Trioxide in C57Bl/6 Mice. (PubMed, Chem Res Toxicol)
These transcriptional changes paralleled a transient inflammatory response, including early Tnf-α induction and female-specific Il-6 elevation. Collectively, these findings highlight sex-dependent modulation of hepatic ATO handling and drug metabolizing capacity, with important implications for risk assessment and individualized ATO containing regimens.

Evaluating Outcomes in Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia Patients Treated with All-Trans-Retinoic Acid and Arsenic Trioxide. (PubMed, Indian J Hematol Blood Transfus)
Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APML) is characterized by promyelocytic leukemia retinoic acid receptor alpha (PML-RARA) fusion gene resulting from at (15;17) translocation. While, TLC significantly decreased from baseline in high risk cases to last follow-up (24 × 109/L vs. 9 × 109/L; P = 0.016). Patients with APML can be successfully treated with a combination of ATO and ATRA.

Lysosomal acidity perturbation activates a non-canonical Ca2+-mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. (PubMed, Cell Signal)
RTS exhibited superior selectivity compared with inorganic arsenic trioxide (ATO) and paclitaxel, significantly reducing the viability of TNBC cells (MDA-MB-231, BT-549, and MDA-MB-468) while sparing non-malignant MCF-10 A cells.. Collectively, these in vitro findings establish a "lysosome-mitochondria" signaling axis in which early pH perturbation represents a potential vulnerability in TNBC. While the multicomponent nature of RTS requires further characterization, this study provides preliminary insights into targeting organelle-specific Ca2+ hubs as a complementary strategy for refractory solid tumors.

Synergistic effects of arsenic trioxide and atorvastatin on proliferation and apoptosis in acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells. (PubMed, Leuk Res Rep)
Moreover, the combination therapy resulted in a marked increase in anti-proliferative effects. These findings provide new insights into the potential use of ATO and atorvastatin as a combined therapeutic strategy, highlighting their promise as a novel approach in the treatment of ALL.

The autophagy switch: A critical determinant of arsenic-induced carcinogenesis and cancer therapy. (PubMed, Toxicol Rep)
Additionally, we critically assess the therapeutic potential of targeting this switch, emphasizing how drugs that either inhibit or promote autophagy can work together with arsenic trioxide (ATO) to combat drug resistance in solid tumors such as glioblastoma and ovarian cancer. By shifting from simple descriptions to a detailed mechanistic and contextual understanding, this review offers a valuable guide for future research aiming to harness the autophagy switch for cancer prevention and personalized treatment.

An all-in-one theranostic platform for enhanced TACE: self-developing embolization with dual-targeted arsenic trioxide delivery. (PubMed, J Nanobiotechnology)
In vitro, ATO demonstrated superior cytotoxicity over doxorubicin against multiple HCC cells under hypoxia. Most importantly, in an orthotopic rat HCC model, the combined treatment exhibited powerful synergistic efficacy, attaining a remarkable 96% tumor suppression rate and significantly prolonging survival, with a favorable safety profile. This work presents a novel "embolization‑imaging‑targeted chemotherapy" strategy that simultaneously overcomes the key limitations of conventional TACE and ATO delivery, offering a promising and translatable nanoplatform for the effective treatment of advanced HCC.

Perindopril and L‑arginine protect against arsenic trioxide-induced neurotoxicity via Keap1/Nrf2/HO‑1 activation and suppression of neuroinflammation and apoptosis. (PubMed, Naunyn Schmiedebergs Arch Pharmacol)
Both agents mitigate ATO‑induced neurotoxicity through antioxidant, anti‑inflammatory, and anti‑apoptotic mechanisms, with their co‑administration surpassing individual efficacy. The Keap‑1/Nrf2/HO‑1 axis emerges as a critical therapeutic node, underscoring the translational potential of combined intervention.

A hybrid nanoadjuvant cascading activation of the cGAS-STING-IFN-Ⅰ pathway to enhance radio-immunotherapy. (PubMed, Biomaterials)
Arsenic trioxide (ATO)-mediated radiosensitization suppresses DDR, enhances immunogenic cell death, and increases tumor-associated antigens and cytosolic dsDNA levels...The synchronized delivery of Mn2+ and accumulated cytosolic dsDNA amplifies cGAS-STING activation, promoting dendritic cell (DC) maturation, enhancing CD8+ T cell infiltration, reducing immunosuppressive Treg infiltration, and significantly inhibiting both irradiated local tumors and non-irradiated distal CRC tumors while inducing robust immune memory effects, all with no notable toxicity. This study demonstrates that effective RT sensitization, coupled with synchronized STING activation, represents a robust strategy to overcome radio-immunotherapy resistance in colorectal cancer.
