This study investigated the relationship between Dicer expression levels and urinary arsenic metabolites both in vivo and in vitro, as well as examined the role of Dicer in cell proliferation. For the epidemiological analysis, workers from a high arsenic-polluted factory in Yunnan Province were selected as the arsenic-exposed group, while residents from nearby villages without arsenic exposure history were recruited as controls. Urinary arsenic species（inorganic arsenic, monomethylarsonic acid [MMA], and dimethylarsinic acid [DMA]）were quantified, and Dicer mRNA expression levels in peripheral blood were measured. It was found that the relative Dicer mRNA expression in the arsenic-exposed group was significantly elevated compared to controls. Furthermore, Dicer mRNA levels were positively correlated with urinary inorganic arsenic, MMA, and DMA concentrations. For in vitro experiments, human bronchial epithelial cells（16HBE）were treated with sodium arsenite（1.5, 3, 4.5µmol/L）or 4.5µmol/L MMA, DMA, or sodium arsenite. Dicer mRNA and protein expression were analyzed by RT-qPCR and Western blot. Additionally, Dicer expression was knocked down in 16HBE cells using siRNA, and cell viability and proliferation were assessed via CCK-8 and EdU assays. It was observed that Dicer mRNA and protein levels in 3 and 4.5µmol/L sodium arsenite-treated cells were significantly upregulated compared to untreated controls, whereas no changes were detected in MMA- or DMA-treated groups. Knockdown of Dicer was shown to suppress cell viability and proliferation. Notably, sodium arsenite exposure combined with Dicer knockdown resulted in a more pronounced reduction in cell proliferation rates.
