Description

Cellular signalling associated with soluble factors secreted from tumor cells plays a critical role in pathogenesis and therapy of cancer. In present study, we have investigated mechanism of soluble factors induced survival and radioresistance in bystander human lung adenocarcinoma (A549) cells. Our results showed that IL-8 and VEGF, as major soluble factors in conditioned medium (CM), facilitate survival and proliferation of bystander A549 cells through activation of JNK- and p38-MAPK pathways. Hence, role of intracellular Ca+2 and cyclic AMP (cAMP), the two upstream secondary messengers of these pathways were studied
