| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To clarify the mechanisms underlying the toxicity of arsenite, we conducted a functional genetic screening of the genes involved in the sensitivity to arsenite using the gene trap insertion mutant cells library. From the analysis of 34 mutants showed decreased sensitivity to arsenite, eleven sensitivity-related candidate genes (one P450-related gene, one signaling-related genes, two protein synthesis-related genes, one cancer-related gene, six unidentified function genes) were identified. We also showed that the P450 enzyme system and Wnt / catenin pathway are the determining factors of sensitivity to arsenite.
