Apoptosis protects the organism by removing cells with DNA damage. The balance between mechanisms leading to apoptosis and those suppressing apoptosis has a major impact on tumors growth [38]. Waggoner and Wang [50] studied the effect of nicotine on cellular proliferation of human ectocervical, endocervical, malignant and human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 DNA-transformed cervical cell lines. Proliferation of nicotine-exposed cells was compared to unexposed cells with one-way analysis of variance. The authors observed that nicotine significantly stimulated epithelial cell growth in ectocervical and HPV DNA-transformed cell lines and did not significantly alter proliferation of endocervical cell lines.
