The alterations in microenvironment upon chronic arsenic exposure may contribute
to arsenic-induced lung carcinogenesis. Immune cells, such as macrophages, play
an important role in mediating the microenvironment in the lungs. Macrophages
carry out their functions after activation. There are two activation status for
macrophages: classical (M1) or alternative (M2); the latter is associated with
tumorigenesis. Our previous work showed that long-term arsenic exposure induces
transformation of lung epithelial cells. However, the crosstalk between
epithelial cells and macrophages upon arsenic exposure has not been investigated.
In this study, using a co-culture system in which human lung epithelial cells are
cultured with macrophages, we determined that long-term arsenic exposure
polarizes macrophages towards M2 status through ROS generation. Co-culture with
epithelial cells further enhanced the polarization of macrophages as well as
transformation of epithelial cells, while blocking macrophage M2 polarization
decreased the transformation. In addition, macrophage M2 polarization decreased
autophagy activity, which may account for increased cell transformation of
epithelial cells with co-culture of macrophages.
