On the contrary, As<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>O<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub> has been an ancient drug used in traditional Chinese medicine with substantial anticancer activities, especially in the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia as well as chronic wound healing. However, the cytotoxicity and detail mechanisms of As<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>O<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub> action in solid cancer cells, such as oral cancer cells, are largely unknown. In this study, we have primarily cultured four pairs of tumor and nontumor cells from the oral cancer patients and treated the cells with As<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>O<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub> alone or combined with dithiothreitol <jats:bold>(<\/jats:bold>DTT). The results showed that 0.5 \u03bcM As<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>O<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub> plus 20 \u03bcM DTT caused a significant cell death of oral cancer cells but not the nontumor cells. Also As<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>O<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub> plus DTT upregulated Bax and Bak, downregulated Bcl\u20102 and p53, caused a loss of mitochondria membrane potential in oral cancer cells. On the other way, As<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>O<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub> also triggered endoplasmic reticulum stress and increased the levels of glucose\u2010regulated protein 78, calpain 1 and 2. Our results suggest that DTT could synergistically enhance the effects of As<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>O<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub> on killing oral cancer cells while nontoxic to the nontumor cells. The combination is promising for clinical practice in oral cancer therapy and worth further investigations. \u00a9 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
