Particularly, the biological and molecular events underlying the role of gap junction intercellular communication (GJIC) cross-talk between irradiated-cancer and non-irradiated bystander normal cells after protons microbeam irradiation remain largely undefined. In this context, we investigated the role of primary-and secondary bystander response cross-talk between human lung cancer (A549) and normal lung fibroblasts (WI38) cells using Single-Particle Irradiation system to Cell (SPICE) microbeam facility in National Institute of Radiological Sciences (NIRS), Japan (3.4 MeV protons, 2 µm beam diameter, LET 11 keV/µm). Our results suggest that proton microbeams-induced primary bystander responses in both A549 and WI-38 cells. Furthermore, the secondary bystander responses are propagated from the primary bystander A549 cells to non-irradiated bystander WI-38 cells via GJIC detecting by using the transwell insert co-cultured model. In conclusion, these data demonstrated that GJIC play a critical role in mediating protons-irradiation induced primary- and secondary bystander responses, which is directly relevant to cancer radiotherapy., 5th International Symposium on Space Radiation and Particle Radiotherapy}, title = {The Importance of the Primary-and Secondary Bystander Responses Cross-Talk between Human Lung Cancer and Lung Normal Cells after Proton Microbeam Irradiation}, year = {2017} }
