 note = {Microbeams made it possible to deliver a defined number of charged particles on a single cell with a resolution of a few micrometers, and are most advantageous for the studies of biological response on low dose radiation. Our microbeam irradiation system, the Single-Particle Irradiation system to CEll (SPICE) provides a 3.4 MeV proton microbeam focused with a quadrupole magnetic lens on an upward vertical beam line. At present, SPICE can target mammalian cells from single ion with stability and high throughput using an upward vertical beam of below 2-micrometer in diameter [1]. A variety of irradiation modes have been established for radiation-induced bystander effects, cytoplasm irradiation etc. Within these several years, we have focused on the radio-induced bystander effects, especially on the aspect on the damaging and protective bystander response and signaling between two different kinds of cells, such as 1) human lung cancer and normal cells [2], and 2) cancer stem-like cells, CSCs and non stem-like cancer cells, NSCCs in human fibro-sarcoma HT1080 cells[3]. We also expanded our studies to bystander effect in vivo using Zebrafish embryos for bystander effect induced adaptive response[4].
