Signaling in Radiation-Induced Bystander Effects
نویسندگان
چکیده
Although radiation-induced bystander effects have been well described over the past decade, the mechanisms of the signaling processes involved in the bystander phenomenon remain unclear. In the present study, using the Columbia University charged particle microbeam, we found that mitochondrial DNA–depleted human skin fibroblasts (R) showed a higher bystander mutagenic response in confluent monolayers when a fraction of the same population were irradiated with lethal doses compared with their parental mitochondrial–functional cells (R). However, using mixed cultures of R and R cells and targeting only one population of cells with a lethal dose of A-particles, a decreased bystander mutagenesis was uniformly found in nonirradiated bystander cells of both cell types, indicating that signals from one cell type can modulate expression of bystander response in another cell type. In addition, we found that Bay 11-7082, a pharmacologic inhibitor of nuclear factor-KB (NF-KB) activation, and 2-(4-carboxyphenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline1-oxyl-3-oxide, a scavenger of nitric oxide (NO), significantly decreased the mutation frequency in both bystander R and R cells. Furthermore, we found that NF-KB activity and its dependent proteins, cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and inducible NO synthase (iNOS), were lower in bystander R cells when compared with their R counterparts. Our results indicated that mitochondria play an important role in the regulation of radiation-induced bystander effects and that mitochondriadependent NF-KB/iNOS/NO and NF-KB/COX-2/prostaglandin E2 signaling pathways are important to the process.

Radio-adaptive response of peripheral blood lymphocytes following bystander effects induced by preirradiated CHO-K1 cells using the micronucleus assay
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 کاملRadiation-induced bystander effect following hypo- fraction technique of grid therapy by use of sensitive molecular markers
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...

Radiation 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...
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. ...
متن کاملThe Mechanisms of Radiation-Induced Bystander Effect
The radiation-induced bystander effect is the phenomenon which non-irradiated cells exhibit effects along with their different levels as a result of signals received from nearby irradiated cells. Responses of non-irradiated cells may include changes in process of translation, gene expression, cell proliferation, apoptosis and cells death. These changes are confirmed by results of some In-Vivo s...
