Although radiation induced bystander effects (RIBE) have been investigated for decades for their potential health risk, the underlying gene regulation is still largely unclear, especially the roles of immune system and inflammatory response in RIBE. In the present study, macrophage U937 cells and epithelial Beas-2B cells were co-cultured to disclose the cascades of bystander signaling factors and intercellular communications. After a-particle irradiation, both ERK and p38 pathways were activated in Beas-2B cells and were associated with the autocrine and paracrine signaling of TNF-alpha and IL-8, resulting in direct damage to the irradiated cells. Similar upregulation of TNF-alpha and IL-8 was induced in the bystander U937 cells after co-culture with a-irradiated Beas-2B cells. This upregulation was dependent on the activation of NF-kappa B pathway and was responsible for the enhanced damage of a-irradiated Beas-2B cells. Interestingly, the increased expressions of TNF-alpha and IL-8 mRNAs in the bystander U937 cells were clearly relayed on the activated ERK and p38 pathways in the irradiated Beas-2B cells, and the upregulation of TNF-alpha and IL-8 mRNAs in co-cultured Beas-2B cells was also partly due to the activated NF-kappa B pathway in the bystander U937 cells. With the pretreatment of U0126 (MEK1/2 inhibitor), SB203580 (p38 inhibitor) or BAY 11-7082 (NF-kappa B inhibitor), the aggravated damage in the a-irradiated Beas-2B cells could be largely alleviated. Our results disclosed novel signaling cascades of macrophage-mediated bilateral bystander responses that the release of TNF-alpha and IL-8 regulated by MAPK and NF-kappa B pathways synergistically increased cellular injury after a-particle irradiation.
