Radiation-induced bystander effects (RIBE) refer to a unique process, in which factors released by irradiated cells or tissues exert effects on other parts of the animal not exposed to radiation, causing genomic instability, stress responses, and altered apoptosis or cell proliferation. Despite important implications in radioprotection, radiation safety and radiotherapy, the molecular identities of RIBE factors and their mechanisms of action remain elusive. Here we use C. elegans as an animal model to study RIBE and have identified a cysteine protease CPR-4, a human cathepsin B homolog, as the first RIBE factor in nematodes. CPR-4 is secreted from animals irradiated with ultraviolet (UV) or ionizing gamma rays (IR) and is the major factor in the conditioned medium that leads to inhibition of cell death and increased embryonic lethality in unirradiated animals. Moreover, CPR-4 causes these effects and stress response at unexposed sites distal to the irradiated tissue. The activity of CPR-4 is regulated by the p53 homolog cep-1 in response to radiation and CPR-4 appears to act through the insulin-like growth factor receptor, DAF-2, to exert RIBE. Our study provides critical insights into the elusive RIBE and will facilitate identification of additional RIBE factors and their mechanisms of action.
