Changes of RNA N6-methyladenosine in the hormesis effect induced by arsenite (cas 15502-74-6) on human keratinocyte cells

arsenite (cas 15502-74-6) exposure can induce a biphasic response called “hormesis”, and oxidative stress has been proposed to play critical roles in the hormesis effect. However, the precise mechanisms underlying the hormesis effect induced by arsenite is largely unknown. Recently, N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification has been implicated to play an important role in the biological processes of cells. Nevertheless, whether and how m6A is involved in the hormesis of cell growth and death caused by arsenite via oxidative stress have remained a mystery. Here, oxidative stress and m6A as well as its methyltransferases/demethylase of human keratinocyte cells after low/high doses of arsenite exposure were simultaneously evaluated. Our results demonstrated that the treatment of human HaCaT cells with low levels of arsenite up-regulated m6A modification as well as its methyltransferases (METTL3/METTL14/WTAP) and inactivated the demethylase (FTO), exerting “protective response” against oxidative stress and promoting HaCaT cells survival. On the contrary, high doses of arsenite induced down-regulation of m6A level and enhanced oxidative stress, showing “inhibitive effects” on cell viability in HaCaT cells. Our results suggest that the reversible m6A modification is associated with the arsenite-driven hormesis on cytotoxicity.
