Memory T cells respond faster and more vigorously than their naive counterparts and are critical for adaptive immunity. However, it is unknown whether and how memory T cells react in the face of irrelevant Ags. It is generally accepted that bystander memory T cells are neutral in immune responsiveness. In this study, we present the first evidence that bystander central memory (TCM), but not eff...
Direct cellular DNA damage may lead to genome destabilization in unexposed, bystander, cells sharing the same milieu with directly damaged cells by means of the bystander effect. One proposed mechanism involves double strand break (DSB) formation in S phase cells at sites of single strand lesions in the DNA of replication complexes, which has a more open structure compared with neighboring DNA....
Cells without intact mitochondrial DNA have been shown to lack the bystander effect, which is an energy-dependent process. We hypothesized that cells harboring mutations in mitochondrial genes responsible for ATP synthesis would show a decreased bystander effect compared to normal cells. Radiation-induced bystander effects were analyzed in two normal and four mitochondrial mutant human lymphobl...
Previously, we reported on the target cell-restricted fratricide apoptotic activity of scFvC54:sTRAIL, a fusion protein comprising human-soluble tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) genetically linked to the antibody fragment scFvC54 specific for the cell surface target antigen EGP2. In the present study, we report that the selective binding of scFvC54:sTRAIL to EGP2-...
The "radiation-induced bystander effect," in which irradiated cells can induce genomic instability in unirradiated neighboring cells, has important implications for cancer radiotherapy and diagnostic radiology as well as for human health in general. Although the mechanisms of this effect remain to be elucidated, we reported previously that DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), directly measured by g...
Radiation therapy is a primary treatment modality for brain tumors, yet it has been linked to the increased incidence of secondary, post-radiation therapy cancers. These cancers are thought to be linked to indirect radiation-induced bystander effect. Bystander effect occurs when irradiated cells communicate damage to nearby, non-irradiated 'bystander' cells, ultimately contributing to genome de...
The main goal of this study is to elucidate the mechanisms of the signal transmission for radiation-induced bystander response. The NF-kappaB-dependent gene expression of IL8, IL6, PTGS2/COX2, TNF and IL33 in directly irradiated human skin fibroblasts produced the cytokines and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) with autocrine/paracrine functions, which further activated signaling pathways and induced NF-...
The bystander effect is a biological phenomenon whereby cells not directly targeted by DNA-damaging agents elicit a response similar to that of targeted cells. Understanding the mechanisms underlying the bystander effect is important not only for radiation risk assessment but also for evaluation of protocols for radiotherapy of tumors. Identification of DNA repair and signal transduction protei...
Bystander activation, i.e., activation of T cells specific for an antigen X during an immune response against antigen Y may occur during viral infections. However, the low frequency of bystander-activated T cells has rendered it difficult to define the mechanisms and possible in vivo relevance of this nonspecific activation. This study uses transgenic mice expressing a major histocompatibility ...
Radiation-induced bystander effect represents a paradigm shift in our understanding of the radiobiological effects of ionizing radiation in that extranuclear and extracellular effects may also contribute to the final biological consequences of exposure to low doses of radiation. Evidence suggests that targeted cytoplasmic irradiation results in mutation in the nucleus of the "hit" cells and tha...
