The COX-2/PGE2 Response Pathway Upregulates Radioresistance in A549 Human Lung Cancer Cells through Radiation-Induced Bystander Signaling

This study aimed to determine the mechanism underlying the modulation of radiosensitivity in cancer cells by the radiation-induced bystander effect (RIBE). We hypothesized that the RIBE mediates cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and its metabolite prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in elevating radioresistance in unirr...
