Fig. 29: Comparison of percent S and G2/M phase arrest between MPN and control groups after<br />
BPDE exposure. There difference between mean percent cell arrested in S (a) and G2/M phase (b) at<br />
both 6 h and 24 h time points is no statistically significant between the two groups. The difference was<br />
not statistically significant between the two groups at both BPDE concentrations and both time points.<br />
Vertical line on each bar shows standard deviation.<br />
4.2.4 Apoptotic response in MPN and control samples in vitro<br />
A method of Annexin-V-PI double labelling was used to measure percent cell<br />
death after γ-radiation and BPDE exposure. The apoptotic response was performed on<br />
LCLs from 20 MPN and 10 controls.<br />
4.2.4.1 Percent cell death after γ-radiation exposure<br />
Percent cell death after radiation exposure was higher in control cell lines with<br />
average percent cell death of 19.22% at 5 Gy and 22.09% at 10 Gy, as compared to<br />
MPN cell lines where the average percent cell death was 9.84% at 5 Gy and 10.84% at<br />
10 Gy. The mean difference between the two groups was 9.38% at 5 Gy and 11.25% at<br />
10 Gy which was statistically significant with a p value=0.0003 at 5 Gy and p=0.0002<br />
at 10 Gy (Fig. 30). A comparison between the two groups in terms of percent cell death<br />
after γ-radiation exposure at both radiation doses is shown in Table 12 (Fig. 32).<br />
