Chronic Oral Arsenic Exposure and Its Correlation with Serum S100B Concentration.

Abstract:

:Arsenic is one of the most important environmental pollutants especially in drinking water. The S100B protein is presented as a sensitive biomarker for assessment of the blood-brain barrier integrity previously. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of chronic arsenic exposure in drinking water and serum S100B correlation. Fifty-four male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into three groups. Group I and II subjects were treated with arsenic trioxide (1 ppm and 10 ppm, respectively), while the rest received normal drinking water. Arsenic concentration in serum and brain was measured by an atomic absorption spectrometer (Varian model 220-Z) conjugated with a graphite furnace atomizer (GTA-110). Also, a serum S100B protein concentration was determined using commercial ELISA kit during different times of exposure. It was observed that body weight gain was significantly lower from the 10th week onwards in arsenic-treated subjects. However, it did not induce any visible clinical signs of toxicity. Measured arsenic level in serum and brain was higher in espoused groups as compared to the control subjects (p < 0.001 and p < 0.0001, respectively). In addition, serum S100B content was increased over a period of 3 months and had significant differences as compared to the control and 1-ppm group especially after 3 months of exposure in the 10-ppm group (p < 0.0001). In conclusion, it could be inferred that long-term arsenic exposure via drinking water leads to brain arsenic accumulation with serum S100B elevated concentration as a probable BBB disruption consequence.
