چکیده
OBJECTIVE(S) Radiation effect induced in nonirradiated cells which are adjacent or far from irradiated cells is termed radiation-induced bystander effect (RIBE). Published data on dose-response relationship of RIBE is controversial. In the present study the role of targeted and bystander cells in RIBE dose-response relationship of two cell lines have been investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two cell lines (QU-DB and MRC5) which had previously exhibited different dose-response relationship were selected. In the previous study the two cell lines received medium from autologous irradiated cells and the results showed that the magnitude of damages induced in QU-DB cells was dependent on dose unlike MRC5 cells. In the present study, the same cells irradiated with 0.5, 2 and 4 Gy gamma rays and their conditioned media were transferred to nonautologous bystander cells; such that the bystander effects due to cross-interaction between them were studied. Micronucleus assay was performed to measure the magnitude of damages induced in bystander cells (RIBE level). RESULTS QU-DB cells exhibited a dose-dependent response. RIBE level in MRC5 cells which received medium from 0.5 and 2 Gy QU-DB irradiated cells was not statistically different, but surprisingly when they received medium from 4Gy irradiated QU-DB cells, RIBE was abrogated. CONCLUSION RESULTS pertaining to QU-DB and MRC5 cells indicated that both target and bystander cells determined the outcome. Triggering the bystander effect depended on the radiation dose and the target cell-type, but when RIBE was triggered, dose-response relationship was predominantly determined by the bystander cell type.

The role of dose fractionation in the level of Radiation- Induced Bystander Effect in QU-DB Cells
Introduction: Radiation effects induced in non-irradiated cells are termed radiation- induced bystander effects (RIBE). The present study intends to examine the RIBE response of QU-DB bystander cells to first, second and third radiation fractions and compare their cumulative outcome with an equal, single acute dose. Materials and Methods: This experimental ...

Introduction: Radiation-induced bystander effect (RIBE) is a well-known response associated with the induction of radiation effects in non-irradiated cells via signaling of hit ones. As this so-called phenomenon has been largely investigated in low dose levels, few studies focused on higher dose levels such as grid therapy. Grid therapy or spatially fractionated gri...
متن کاملRadiation Induced Bystander Effect
Introduction: Radiation effects observed in cells that are not irradiated are known as non-targeted effects. Radiation induced bystander effect (RIBE) as a kind of non-targeted effect has been introduced in recent years. RIBE occurs in unexposed cells which are related to adjacent or distant irradiated cells. RIBE contradict with "target theory" which necessitates radiation tr...

Background: Radio-adaptive response and bystander effects are known phenomena occurring in cells following exposure to ionizing radiation (IR). In this study we examined possible radio-adaptation of lymphocytes following bystander effects induced by CHO-K1 cells. Materials and Methods: Whole blood and CHO-K1 cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 complete medium. Cells were separately irradiated with...
متن کاملAn Investigation of the Effects of Raw Garlic on Radiation-induced Bystander Effects in MCF7 Cells
Introduction Radiation-induced bystander effect (RIBE) is a phenomenon in which radiation signals are transmitted from irradiated cells to non-irradiated ones, inducing radiation effects in these cells. RIBE plays an effective role in radiation response at environmentally relevant low doses and in radiotherapy, given its impact on adjacent normal tissues or those far from the irradiated tumor. ...
