Project description:In an effort to define unique and common signatures of NK cell activity that is non-detected at the protein level, we studied the entire transcriptome of NK cells. We used Human Transcriptome Array (HTA) technology to investigate expression profiles of responding NK cells across the three stimulations in six donors.
Project description:Genome wide expression profiling of human NK cells stimulated with K562 erythroleukemic tumor cells after four hours of NK-tumor co-culture. Responding NK cells were compared to non-responding NK cells, delineated by display of CD107 on the NK cell surface following cytotoxic granule release. We hypothesized that tumor responses would initiate rapid changes in gene expression in the NK cell that would identify new features of the anti-tumor response of NK cells. Results identify NK cell activation responses and induction of TNF superfamily molecules with immunoregulatory activity.

Results identify NK cell activation responses and induction of TNF superfamily molecules with immunoregulatory activity. Human peripheral blood NK cells were co-cultured with tumor target cell line K562 for 4 hours with GolgiStop (brefeldin) then stained for granule exocytosis marker CD107a / CD107b, and NK cell markers then FACS sorted for responding NK cells (CD107+) and non-responding NK cells (CD107-). Pooled donor sample comprised NK cells from 3 individuals.
Project description:We performed transcriptome sequencing on Neo-2/15 stimulated CAR NK cells,to shed light on the function and phenotype changes of CAR-NK cells stimulated by IL-2 and Neo-2/15.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of NKAES-derived NK cells after 7 days of culture compared to primary human NK cells and NK cells stimulated by low or high dose IL2 after 7 days of culture. Four-condition experiment, primary NK cells vs. NKAES-derived NK cells after 7 days of culture vs. NK cells stimulated by low/high dose IL2 after 7 days of culture. Biological replicates: 5 control, 5 NKAES-derived NK cells, 3 NK cells stimulated by low dose IL2, 3 NK cells stimulated by high dose IL2 independently grown and harvested. One replicate per array.
