Micronuclei-induction and its correlation to cell survival in HeLa cells treated with different doses of adriamycin

The treatment of HeLa cells with different concentrations of adriamycin (0, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 μg/ml) resulted in a significant and dose-dependent decline in the cell survival. Conversely, the frequency of micronuclei increased in a concentration-dependent manner. The micronuclei-induction and cell survival were found to be inversely related.
