NK-92 cells are a natural killer (NK) cell line derived from the peripheral blood of a patient with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. They are an immortalized cell line that can be used for research and experimental purposes. NK-92 cells exhibit characteristics of mature and activated NK cells, and they can be used as a model system to study NK cell biology and function.

K562 cells (ATCC) were cultured in Iscove’s modified Dulbecco’s medium, supplemented with 10% (v/v) FBS and 1% penicillin-streptomycin. All cells were grown in a humidified atmosphere of 5% (v/v) CO2 at 37°C. Adherent cells (MDA-MB-231 and NIH 3T3) at 80% confluence in a 60 mm × 15 mm Petri dish were harvested by trypsin digestion and dispensed into a cell suspension with various concentrations according to the experimental requirement. Suspended cells (NK-92 and K562) were centrifuged and washed by cell-free media or PBS and finally adjusted into known cell centration.

This study was approved by the Xiangya Hospital of Central South University (ethics number: 202109924). Female patients with breast cancer (n = 58) were recruited in this study. Written consents were obtained from all participants. The clinicopathological characteristics of breast cancer patients, including age, menopause, tumor size, lymph node metastasis and TNM stage, were listed in Table S1.
All methods and protocols were performed in accordance with Practical Guide for Animal Experiment Management and Operation. Female NOD-SCID mice (4 ∼ 6-wk-old) were used in this study. All mice have free access to standard chow and water under controlled temperature and constant 12h/12h light/dark cycles.
Human mammary epithelial cell line MCF10A and human breast cancer cell lines MCF-7, Hs578T, T47D, MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-468 cells and human NK cell line NK92 cells were from ATCC (Manassas, VA, USA). MCF10A cells were cultured in F12/DMEM (Gibco, Grand Island, NY, USA). The breast cancer cells were grown in DMEM (Gibco) containing 10% FBS. NK92 cells were cultured in MEMα containing 12.5% FBS, 2 mM L-glutamine and 12.5% horse serum (Gibco). For NK92 cell activation, cells were stimulated with 100 U/mL IL-2 (Gibco, PHC0023) for 24 h. For co-culture, the activated NK-92 cells were co-cultured with MCF-7 or MDA-MB-231 cells at a ratio of 10:1 for 4 h. All cells were maintained at 37°C/5% CO2.

HEK293 cells (a human embryonic kidney cell line) and NK92 cells (a human NK cell line) (ATCC, Manassas, VA) were cultured per the company’s instructions. HEK293 cells were transiently transfected with pcDNA3.1 with or without CD16b, CD16b/S197P, and/or L-selectin using Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen) per the manufacturer’s instructions. HEK293 cells stably expressing human FcRγ were transiently transfected with pcDNA3.1 with or without CD16a or CD16a/S197P by the same approach. NK92 cells were stably transduced with pBMN-IRES-EGFP with or without CD16a or CD16a/S197P by retrovirus generation and infection procedures described previously [26 (link)–28 (link)]. Construct expression was assessed by EGFP fluorescence and CD16 staining, as determined by flow cytometry. Human iPSCs (UCBiPS7, derived from umbilical cord blood CD34 cells) were maintained on mouse embryonic fibroblasts [29 (link), 30 (link)]. Stable expression of CD16a or CD16a/S197P was performed using a Sleeping Beauty transposon system, as previously described [23 (link), 24 (link)]. Briefly, iPSCs were nucleofected with pKT2-IRES-GFP:zeo in combination with transposase DNA in nucleofector solution V (Lonza Inc., Gaithersburg, MD) using program setting B16. Nucleofected cells were immediately suspended in iPSC growth medium containing zeocin (50μg/ml) and seeded onto mouse embryonic fibroblasts.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
