NK cells are initially known for their ability to kill tumor cells with no prior sensitization. Production of mature and long lasting NK cells from Umbilical Cord Blood (UCB) by using cytokines could be a promising method for immunotherapy. NK cells were generated from cord blood cells using IL2, IL7, and IL15 cytokines and measured expression of CD57 and NKp46 markers. Afterward, their capacity in the elimination of malignant cells (Reh cell line) was evaluated by assessment of interferon-γ (as cytokine production sign) and CD107-a expression (as cytotoxic function symptom) using flow cytometry. Our results showed efficient NKp46 + , and CD57 + NK cells generated on day 14. Also, expression of CD107-a and IFN-γ following co-culture with Reh cell lines significantly increased in comparison to the control. Taken together, we have reported one of the best culture conditions for the generation of CD57 + NK cells with on feeder cells and showed appropriate capacity in counter reh cell lines as a target.
自然杀伤 (NK) 细胞最初以其无需预先致敏即可杀死肿瘤细胞的能力而闻名。通过使用细胞因子从脐带血 (UCB) 中产生成熟且持久的 NK 细胞可能是一种有前途的免疫疗法方法。我们使用 IL2、IL7 和 IL15 细胞因子从脐血细胞中生成 NK 细胞,并测量 CD57 和 NKp46 标记物的表达。然后,通过流式细胞术评估干扰素-γ(作为细胞因子产生的标志)和 CD107-a 表达(作为细胞毒性功能的标志)来评估它们消除恶性细胞(Reh 细胞系)的能力。我们的结果表明,在第 14 天可以有效地生成 NKp46+和 CD57+NK 细胞。此外,与对照相比,与 Reh 细胞系共培养后 CD107-a 和 IFN-γ 的表达显著增加。总之,我们报告了在饲养细胞上生成 CD57+NK 细胞的最佳培养条件之一,并显示出针对 Reh 细胞系作为靶标的适当能力。
