Arsenic trioxide (As(2)O(3)) is an effective therapeutic against acute promyelocytic leukemia and certain solid tumors. Because As(2)O(3) inhibits mitochondrial respiration in cells, we hypothesized that might enhance the radiosensitivity of tumors by increasing tumor oxygenation [partial pressure oxygen (pO(2))] via a decrease consumption. Two murine models radioresistant hypoxic cancer were used to study effects As(2)O(3). We measured pO(2) consumption rate vivo electron paramagnetic...
