The survival of Chinese hamster ovary cells in culture following graded doses of X rays delivered under aerobic and hypoxic conditions, or treatment with the bioreductive drug SR 4233 under hypoxic conditions, was evaluated as a function of whether cells were plated onto glass or Permanox plastic petri dishes. In the case of treatment with SR 4233, the influence of varying the total volume of medium in the dishes was also studied. While the Permanox petri dishes were sufficient to yield "radiobiological" hypoxia, that is, oxygen enhancement ratios of approximately 3.0 were obtained for X irradiation, they were inferior to glass petri dishes with respect to the hypoxia-selective cytotoxicity of SR 4233. For a 90-min hypoxic exposure to 40 microM SR 4233, the surviving fraction of cells plated on plastic dishes averaged about 50-fold higher than that of cells plated on glass dishes. Although varying the total medium volume did affect the extent of SR 4233-induced cytotoxicity for glass dishes--drug toxicity decreased slightly with increasing medium volume--this was not the case for the plastic dishes, in which the cell survival following a fixed SR 4233 exposure was essentially constant as a function of medium volume. These results suggest, at least for SR 4233, and under these experimental conditions, that Permanox petri dishes are not satisfactory for such studies.
