In a normal immune response to P. aeruginosa infection, human bronchial epithelial cells release cytokines that signal neutrophils and macrophages to phagocytose the bacteria and clear the infection.
With arsenic present, the cytokine response is reduced by 50%, allowing the bacteria to remain, resulting in a prolonged, chronic infection. The Dartmouth Toxic Metals SRP is investigating several pathways where arsenic might regulate microRNA expression modulating the cytokine response.
