Project description:Analysis of gene expression profiles in Induced T-to-Natural Killer (ITNK), compared to DN3 parental T cells and IL-2-expanded NK cells (LAK). The hypothesis tested in the present study was that gene expression profiles of ITNK that were derived from DN3 T cells after deletion of Bcl11b were more similar to LAK, rather than DN3 T cells. Results provide important information of the ITNKs, such as canditate genes regulated by Bcl11b, up-regulated important genes expressed in NK cells, and down-regulated T cell genes. Total RNA obtained from DN3-derived ITNKs in vitro compared to DN3 parental T cells and LAKs.

Project description:Natural Killer cells (NK), a major constituent of innate immune system, have the ability to kill the transformed and infected cells without prior sensitization; can be put to immunotherapeutic use against various malignancies. NK cells discriminate between normal cells and transformed cells via a balance of inhibitory and activating signals induced by interactions between NK cell receptors and target cell ligands. Present study investigates whether expansion of NK cells could augment their anti-myeloma (MM) activity. For NK cell expansion, peripheral blood mononuclear cells from healthy donors and myeloma patients were co-cultured with irradiated K562 cells transfected with 4-1BBL and membrane-bound IL15 (K562-mb15-41BBL). A genome-wide profiling approach was performed to identify gene expression signature in expanded NK (ENK) cells and non-expanded NK cells isolated from healthy donors and myeloma patients. A specific set of genes involved in proliferation, migration, adhesion, cytotoxicity, and activation were up regulated post expansion, also confirmed by flow cytometry. Exp-NK cells killed both allogeneic and autologous primary MM cells more avidly than non-exp-NK cells in vitro. Multiple receptors, particularly NKG2D, natural cytotoxicity receptors, and DNAM-1 contributed to target lysis, via a perforin mediated mechanism. In summary, vigorous expansion and high anti-MM activity both in vitro and in vivo provide the rationale for testing exp-NK cells in a clinical trial for high risk MM. Differential gene expression profile in expanded natural killer (ENK) cells and non-expanded natural killer (NK) cells from healthy donors and myeloma patients Eight healthy donor and eight myeloma patients were used in the study. Non-expanded natural killer (NK) cells were isolated from PBMCs of healthy donors and myeloma patients. Expanded natural killer (ENK) cells were generated from same set of samples as mentioned in expansion protocol. All ENK and NK cells were used for gene expression profiling.

Project description:Epigenetic landscapes can provide insight into regulation of gene expression and cellular diversity. Here, we examined the transcriptional and epigenetic profiles of seven human blood NK cell populations, including adaptive NK cells. The BCL11B gene, encoding a transcription factor (TF) essential for T cell development and function, was the most extensively regulated, with expression increasing throughout NK cell differentiation. Several Bcl11b-regulated genes associated with T cell-signaling were specifically expressed in adaptive NK cell subsets. Regulatory networks revealed reciprocal regulation at distinct stages of NK cell differentiation, with Bcl11b repressing RUNX2 and ZBTB16 in canonical and adaptive NK cells, respectively. A critical role for Bcl11b in driving NK cell differentiation was corroborated in BCL11B mutated patients and by ectopic Bcl11b expression. Moreover, Bcl11b was required for adaptive NK cell responses in a murine CMV model, supporting expansion of these cells. Together, we define the TF regulatory circuitry of human NK cells and uncover a critical role for Bcl11b in promoting NK cell differentiation and function.

Project description:Ex vivo activation and expansion of natural killer (NK) cells is a strategy to produce sufficient numbers of these effector cells for adoptive immunotherapy. Therefore we aimed at the development of an automated, clinical scale NK cell expansion process and compared NK cells after manual and automated expansion.We found only a small subset of 124 genes that significantly varied between both sample groups. These genes were associated with movement of leukocytes were identified including a group of genes for NK cell movement (CMKLR1, CX3CR1, S1PR5, GNLY and CXCR1) which were slightly higher expressed after automated compared to manual expansion. Nevertheless, the expansion profiles of NK cells after automated or manual expansion were rather similar in comparison to the remarkable difference between primary and expanded NK cells in general represented by the vast majority of regulated genes between the analyzed sample groups. Pathway analysis revealed that most of regulated genes upon expansion were associated with cell cycle regulation, DNA replication, DNA recombination and DNA repair, regulation of apoptosis and cell survival as well as cytokine signaling. Furthermore, the expression of many NK cell relevant markers was changed upon expansion with the strongest effects on up regulation of TRAIL and FASL, inhibitory TIGIT and chemokine receptors CCR2, CCR5 and CXCR6. In addition, granzyme M was down regulated but other important effector molecules like TNFa, perforin and granzymes A, B and K were up regulated. In summary we could show that manual and automatically expanded NK cells show a similar expansion profile while the differ significantly from primary NK cells. Up regulation of many NK cell relevant markers indicate for an enhanced NK cell functionaility after ex vivo activation and expansion. 24 samples were analyzed in total. 6 biological replicates represented by cells from different donors. 4 different samples per donor: freshly isolated NK cells (d0) and NK cells expanded for 14 days under 3 different conditions: in co-culture with EBV-LCL feeder cells and 500 U/mL IL2 either cultivated manually in T75 flasks (T) or automatically using the CliniMACS Prodigy system (P); NK cells cultured with 500 U/ml IL2 without feeder cells (I)

Project description:B-cell lymphoma/leukemia (BCL) 11B represents a major regulator of vital processes in post-thymic lymphocytes as well as of lymphocyte differentiation by blocking NK cell and promoting T cell development and is thus considered a \\"guardian of T cell fate\\". Interestingly, on the one hand, NK cell maturation correlates with increased expression of BCL11B, on the other hand, native or induced T cell populations characterized by multiple NK cell features showed reduced BCL11B expression. Both NK cells or T cells display unique and desired features for cellular therapies. NK cells are able to efficiently lyse cancerous or virally infected cells but can only be poorly expanded in vitro. In contrast, T cell cytotoxic activity is limited by T cell receptor (TCR) but in vitro expansion is easily achievable. We show that from buffy coats of healthy donors isolated and CRISPR/Cas9-mediated BCL11B knock-out CD8+ T cells stimulated with IL-15 acquired remarkable innate characteristics and combine spontaneous and antibody-dependent NK cell cytotoxicity with T cell capability for rapid in vitro expansion. The observed features of the induced innate CD8+ (iiT8) cells make them an interesting and promising tool for cellular therapy.

Project description:The transcription factor B Cell CLL/Lymphoma 11B (BCL11B) is indispensable for T lineage development of lymphoid progenitors. Here we show that chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) expression early in ex vivo generated lymphoid progenitors suppresses Bcl11b, leading to suppression of T cell-associated gene expression and acquisition of natural killer (NK) cell-like properties. These results give important insights into differentiation of murine and human lymphoid progenitors driven by synthetic CAR transgene-expression and inform the potential use of ex vivo generated CARiK cells as a broadly applicable product for targeted immunotherapy.

Project description:<p>Natural killer (NK) cells are forced to cope with different oxygen environments even under resting conditions. The adaptation to low oxygen is regulated by oxygen-sensitive transcription factors, the hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs). The function of HIFs for NK cell activation and metabolic rewiring remains controversial. Activated NK cells are predominantly glycolytic, but the metabolic programs that ensure the maintenance of resting NK cells are enigmatic. By combining <em>in situ</em> metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses in resting murine NK cells, our study defines HIF-1a as a regulator of tryptophan metabolism and cellular nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) levels. The HIF-1a/NAD+ axis prevents ROS production during oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) and thereby blocks DNA damage and NK cell apoptosis under steadystate conditions. In contrast, in activated NK cells under hypoxia, HIF-1a is required for glycolysis, and forced HIF-1a expression boosts glycolysis and NK cell performance <em>in vitro</em> and <em>in vivo</em>. Our data highlight two distinct pathways by which HIF-1a interferes with NK cell metabolism. While HIF-1a-driven glycolysis is essential for NK cell activation, resting NK cell homeostasis relies on HIF-1a-dependent tryptophan/NAD+ metabolism.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Linked cross omic data sets:</strong></p><p>RNA-seq data associated with this study are available in ArrayExpress (BioStudies): accession <a href='https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/arrayexpress/studies/E-MTAB-12082' rel='noopener noreferrer' target='_blank'>E-MTAB-12082</a>.</p>

Project description:The release of soluble ligands of activating Natural Killer (NK) cell receptors may represent a regulatory mechanism of NK cell function both in physiologic and in pathologic conditions. Here, we identified the extracellular matrix protein Nidogen-1 (NID1) as a ligand of NKp44, an important activating receptor expressed by activated NK cells. When released as soluble molecule, NID1 can regulate NK cell function by modulating NKp44-induced IFN-γ production or cytotoxicity. We also show that NID1 may be present at the cell surface. In this form or when bound to a solid support (bNID1), NID1 failed to induce NK cell cytotoxicity or cytokine release. However, analysis by mass spectrometry revealed that exposure to bNID1 can induce relevant changes in the proteomic profiles suggesting an effect on different, biological processes of human NK cells.
