acetanilide
Introduction:

A.
Conclusions:
With higher doses of acetanilide, cell survival rate
decreased.

Methods:
Cell Culture:
A sample of adenoma mouse lung cells were passaged by standard
culture methods.The cells were washed in a 1X PBS solution and
Trypsin-EDTA and incubated at 37. Cells were then counted and the
appropriate amount of media was added depending on the cell
count.
Trypan Blue:
Quantitative cell survival rate was determined by the use of trypan
blue. Dead cells were indicated by blue dye.
LIVE/DEAD (Viability/Cytotoxicity) Assay:
Qualitative data collected to view toxicity assay of cells. Cells were
prepared by incubating and then by adding calcein-AM and ethidium
homodimer-1. The cells were then viewed under the fluorescent
microscope. Living cells were identified by green-fluorescent calceinAM. Dead cells were identified by red-fluorescent ethidium
homodimer-1.
qRT-PCR:
Quantitative analysis was done for p53 expression normalized to the
GAPDH control.. The samples were pelleted in microcentrifuge tubes
and the cDNA was added to the wells. The samples were then
analyzed by the qRT-PCR computer program for data analysis.
Western Blotting:

through membrane staining of

The secondary antibody used for p53 was anti-mouse IgG HRP-linked
antibody, and the secondary antibody for actin was rabbit antibody.
SDS-PAGE ran the gel in order to perform the Western blot.These
were both added to a milk-TBST buffer.
Future Studies:
Collect qualitative data that represents protein
expression of p53 by Western blot.
This study should be repeated with additional
chemicals from cigarette smoke as possible.
This will allow scientists to find out which
chemicals are toxic.
Further research on mutagenesis to observe
mutations that occur in genetic DNA and its
correlation with cancer development.
By further studying each new isolated
chemical, the cellular mechanisms, and
proteins it may utilize, future researchers could
discover exactly which chemicals in cigarette
smoke, lead to particular cancer types.
