Genotoxicity of multi-walled carbon nanotubes at occupationally relevant doses

Table 2 Distribution of the cell cycle in BEAS-2B cells 24 hours after treatment

Treatment	% G1	% S	% G2
24 hour PBS	43.25 ± 5.6	32.11 ± 6.5	18.30 ± 5.3
24 hour As	35.6 ± 6.9	26.38 ± 7.9	32.10 ± 6.7*
24 hour MWCNT	39.8 ± 4.0	40.1 ± 5.6*	15.90 ± 3.3

The table demonstrates the mean of percent of cells in G1, S and G2 phase of the cell division 24 hours following treatment with media, 5 μM arsenic or to 24 μg/cm² MWCNT. The data is based on replicates of 6 that were repeated in 9 independent experiments.
*: p <0.05 of the treated cells compared to diluent control exposed cultures.
