Construction of a metabolomics profile of arsenic trioxide effect in gastric carcinoma cell line SGC7901.

ABSTRACT: Arsenic trioxide (ATO) is highly effective for treating acute promyelocytic leukemia. It also holds the promise for treating solid tumors, including gastric carcinoma. However, the molecular mechanism of the effectiveness of ATO to solid tumor is still poorly understood. In this study, we chosed gastric carcinoma as an example and tried to reveal the antitumor mechanism through metabolomics. Gastric carcinoma cell line SGC7901 was treated with ATO for 6, 12, and 24 h. The global metabolite profiles were monitored by metabolomics analysis using gas chromatography (GC)/mass spectrometry (MS) and liquid chromatography/MS/MS. A total of 281 certified metabolites were reliably detected. Bioinformatics analysis showed that glycerophospholipid synthesis, one-carbon synthesis, and glutathione synt
