Abstract

Irradiated cells induce chromosomal instability in unirradiated bystander cells in vitro. Although bystander effects are thought to be linked to radiation-induced secondary cancers, almost no studies have evaluated bystander effects in vivo. Furthermore, it has been proposed that epigenetic changes mediate bystander effects, but few studies have evaluated epigenetic factors in bystander tissues in vivo. Here, we describe studies in which mice were unilaterally exposed to X-irradiation and the levels of DNA damage, DNA methylation and protein expression were evaluated in irradiated and bystander cutaneous tissue. The data show that X-ray exposure to one side of the animal body induces DNA strand breaks and causes an increase in the levels of Rad51 in unexposed bystander tissue. In terms of epigenetic changes, unilateral radiation suppresses global methylation in directly irradiated tissue, but not in bystander tissue at given time-points studied. Intriguingly, however, we observed a significant reduction in the levels of the de novo DNA methyltransferases DNMT3a and 3b and a concurrent increase in the levels of the maintenance DNA methyltransferase DNMT1 in bystander tissues. Furthermore, the levels of two methyl-binding protein...Continue Reading
