Figure Lengend Snippet: Knockdown of LNC00665 Promotes NK Cell Cytotoxicity Against Lung Cancer Cells. NK92 cells were stimulated with IL-2, and then activated NK92 cells (effector cells) were co-cultured with A549/H1299 cells in each treatment group. ( A ) Detection of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels in A549/H1299 cells using the CytoTox96 non-radioactive cytotoxicity assay (Promega, Madison, WI, USA) to assess NK cell cytotoxicity against lung cancer cells. ELISA was used to measure the secretion of ( B ) IFN-γ and ( C ) TNF-α in the cell culture supernatant of the co-culture system. ( D ) NK cell migration was evaluated in transwell assays allowing for only active migration of NK cells, laid onto the upper insert, towards the bottom where A549/H1299 cells were cultured. ( E-G ) Purified NK cells were co-cultured with A549/H1299 cells for 5–6 days at a 1:1 ratio and evaluated for proliferation (Cell-Trace or Ki67), IFN-γ production, and degranulation (CD107a). NK cell IFN-γ and degranulation were assessed following stimulation with PMA and ionomycin for 6 h prior to staining. The cell experiments were repeated three times, and data are presented as mean ± standard deviation. Multiple group comparisons were performed using one-way ANOVA, and post hoc analysis was conducted using Tukey’s multiple comparisons test. ** indicates P < 0.01, *** indicates P < 0.001
Article Snippet: The human NK cell line NK92 cells (ATCC) were cultured in MEMa supplemented with 12.5% FBS, 2 mM L-glutamine, and 12.5% horse serum (Gibco).
