lüll gamma-H2AX in bystander cells: not just a radiation-triggered event, a cellular response to stress mediated by intercellular communication Sokolov MV; Dickey JS; Bonner WM; Sedelnikova OACell Cycle 2007[Sep]; 6 (18): 2210-2The recent years have witnessed a rapid accumulation of experimental data showing that ionizing radiation elicits a plethora of biological effects in unirradiated cells receiving bystander signals from hit cells. This so-called radiation-induced bystander effect (RIBE) manifests in various ways including changes in gene expression, genetic and epigenetic alterations, as well as increases in cell transformation and cell death. Our group and others found that DNA double-stranded breaks (DSBs), directly measured by the gamma-H2AX focus formation assay, accumulate in bystander cells in a number of experimental systems such as human cultured cells, human three-dimensional tissue models and in mice. In addition, we recently found that various other sources of cell stress, including media from cancerous cells resulted in a DNA damage response (DDR) in normal human cells that is reminiscent of RIBE. These results suggest that the RIBE may be part of a more general stress response, however, the molecular mechanism underpinning the formation of DNA DSBs in bystander cells is still unclear. This extra view points to some possibilities that might explain why DDR in human cells can be observed under bystander conditions.|*Radiation, Ionizing[MESH]|Animals[MESH]|Bystander Effect/*physiology/*radiation effects[MESH]|Cell Communication/*physiology/*radiation effects[MESH]|Histones/*metabolism/physiology/*radiation effects[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Oxidative Stress/*physiology/radiation effects[MESH]|Signal Transduction/physiology/radiation effects[MESH] |
