Abstract Background This study has investigated the ability of tobacco smoke and ingredients of tobacco smoke to induce apoptosis in the airway epithelial cell line A549. Method A549 cells were treated with 80 g ml Tobacco smoke condensate TSC 10 mM Nicotine 10 1M paraldehyde 10 1M hydrogen peroxide 1 1M Taxol Paclitaxel 100 50 and 25 cigarette smoke extract CSE . Following 4-48 h incubation apoptosis was measured morphologically following staining of cells with DAPI. TUNEL staining was also used to assess DNA damage after 24 and 48 h incubation. In addition loss of mitochondrial cytochrome C and activation of Bax-a early events in the apoptotic process were measured after 4 h of incubation. Results Incubation of A549 cells with vehicle Taxol TSC nicotine paraldehyde hydrogen peroxide and CSE caused a time-dependent detachment of the cells from the flask between 6 and 48 h. DAPI staining revealed that the cells remaining adhered to the flask appeared healthy whereas some of those that had detached .
