A series of bioassays such as sister chromatid exchange frequencies ( SCE.), chromosomal aberration ( CA ), micronuclel rate (MN) and cell-cycle delay have been used to detecting the genotoxic effect of cigarette smoke condensate (CSC) on human diploid cell 2BS strain. The results suggested that a higher SCE, ( 17. 0/ cell) was observed In 2BS cells treated with CSC at 100 μg/ml, as compared with 6. 9/cell of the background (P0. 001). CA rate was significantly increased from 4% to 36% In cells treated with 10 μg/ml CSC (P 0.001). MN rate varied from 9 -26‰ In cells treated with CSC compared to that of control (6‰). Meanwhile, the cell-cycle of cells was markedly delayed by CSC. The survival rate of 2BS cells declined to 59. 6% for treatment with CSC at 200 μg/ ml. There was a dose-effect response In SCE., CA, MN rate. We proposed that active oxygen might responsible for genotoxiclty of CSC on cells.
