U937 cells (1000 cells/ml) were pretreated for 1 h with NAC (1 mM) and then exposed to arsenic for 3h (0, 10, 50 or 200 ppb). Cells were stained with HEt and staining detected by flow cytometry (A). Alternatively, cells were fluorescently-labelled with orange tracker and incubated on VCAM-1/Fc coated plates (B). The non-adherent cells were washed away, and the adherent fluorescent cells were counted. Values are expressed as mean ± S.D., n ≥ 3. * p < 0.05: **: p < 0.01; ***: p < 0.001, compared to unexposed controls.
