The genotoxicity of acrylamide was investigated by methods of single cell clone culturing, two-way screening count, multiplex PCR amplification and electrophoresis technique. Acrylamide only showed clear mutagenesis until dose raised 700 mg*L-1 in HL-60 cells. The most frequent spontaneous mutation were point mutation (≥90.0%) and acrylamide-induced mutation mainly included partial deletion and point mutation (respectively 40.0%～66.7%/33.3%～60.0%). Total gene deletion wasnt discovered in both of cells. There were deletion mutation in all exons of hprt gene(except 7/8 exon), and toward the 3 end of the hprt gene. The most frequent acrylamide-induced mutation were point mutation and single exon deletion (93.3%/86.1%). There were not clear difference in both of cells. The results suggest that the spectra of spontaneous and acrylamide-induced mutants were different. and the smaller changes in genetic structure have something to do with mechanism.
