Microtubules as a Critical Target for Arsenic Toxicity in Lung Cells in Vitro and in Vivo

To understand mechanisms for arsenic toxicity in the lung, we examined effects of sodium m-arsenite (As(3+)) on microtubule (MT) assembly in vitro (0–40 µM), in cultured rat lung fibroblasts (RFL6, 0–20 µM for 24 h) and in the rat animal model (intratracheal instillation of 2.02 mg As/kg body weight...
