Intestinal Epithelial Cell Dysfunction is Mediated by an Endothelial-Specific Radiation-Induced Bystander Effect
24 Jan 2007
Abstract excerpt
The response of endothelial cells (EC) to high radiation doses leads to damage of normal tissue or tumor. The precise mechanisms of the endothelial-tissue linkage are still largely unknown. We investigated the possible involvement of a bystander effect, secondary to endothelial damage, in tissue response to radiation. Proliferating human intestinal epithelial T84 cells were grown in a non-contact co-culture with...
