• The success of arsenic trioxide (ATO) in treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) attracts a great deal of attention to researchers to explore its activity of anti-leukemia. However, ATO has unavailable effect on chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), especially multidrug resistant (MDR)-CML, unless using high concentration. Realgar (As4S4) has been employed in Chinese traditional medicine for 1500 years. Research evidences confirmed realgar has similar effect on treating with APL as ATO, but the problem of large dose and long period in the CML/MDR-CML treatment still exist. By using a microbial leaching process with Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, we obtained realgar transforming solution (RTS) which showed significantly higher extent in inhibiting CML cell line K562 and MDR-CML cell line K562/ADM, and then trigger apoptosis. Both K562 and K562/ADM showed arsenic-dose-dependent effect on RTS. Interestingly, the overexpression of MDR1 mRNA and P-glucoprotein (P-gp) in K562/ADM cells were down-regulated by RTS, where there are no obvious effects on ATO and realgar and arsenic can be subsequently accumulated in K562/ADM cells efficiently. The intracellular accumulation of arsenic in K562/ADM cells treated with RTS for 4 h was 2-fold and 16-folds higher than those treated with realgar or ATO. Meanwhile, Western blot analysis of AQP9, the main transporter of arsenic, was increased by RTS treatment particularly in K562/ADM. Thus, these results suggested that the effect from a certain arsenical or a variety of arsenicals in RTS might be a promising candidate both for treating CML/MDR-CML alone and as combinations with currently used anti-CML/MDR-CML drug, although arsenical forms in RTS are undefined.
