Arsenic trioxide has been successfully used in the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia, and this study established a method to determine arsenic species in red blood cells, finding that the concentration of DMA is highest in plasma while MMA is the most predominant methylated arsenic in RBCs. High affinity of MMA with human Hb contributes to the accumulation of arsenic in RBCs of APL patients.
Background: Arsenic trioxide (ATO) has been successfully applied in the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). Arsenic metabolites including inorganic arsenic and methylated arsenic could lead to different toxicity and curative effect. This study aims to establish a method to determine arsenic species in red blood cells (RBCs), clarify the distribution characteristics of arsenic species in RBCs. Methods: Steady state blood samples were collected from 97 APL patients. H2O2 and HClO4 were used to release the hemoglobin bounding arsenic and precipitate protein. Arsenite (iAs(III)), arsenate (iAs(V)), monomethylarsonic acid (MMA(V)) and dimethylarsinic acid (DMA(V)) in plasma and RBCs were detected by HPLC-HG-AFS. Free and bound arsenic species in RBCs were separated by 30 kDa molecular mass cutoff filters and determined to evaluate hemoglobin binding capacity of different arsenic species. Results: The method was validated with accuracy ranged from 84.75% to 104.13%. Arsenic species in RBCs followed the trend iAs > MMA > DMA (p < 0.01), while the concentration of DMA was significantly higher than iAs and MMA in plasma (p < 0.01). The correlation between iAs concentration in plasma and corresponding RBCs arsenic level was weak. And the concentrations of DMA and MMA in plasma were moderately positive correlated with those in RBCs. Hemoglobin-binding ratios of iAs, MMA and DMA were all over 70 %. Conclusions: In this study, we provided a reliable method to determine arsenic species in RBCs of APL patients treated with ATO by HPLC-HG-AFS. It was confirmed that the concentration of DMA is the highest in plasma, while MMA is the most predominant methylated arsenic in RBCs. High affinity of MMA with human Hb was responsible for the accumulation of arsenic in RBCs of APL patients. (C) 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
