Increased IL-15-dependent glycolysis in NK cells from ECs
(A) Extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) of NK cells from ECs (n = 7), ARTs (n = 7), and HIVNs (n = 7) with or without 10 ng/mL IL-15 stimulation for 24 h was measured at indicated time points in response to glucose, oligomycin, and 2-DG using a Seahorse XFe96 Analyzer.
(B–D) Glycolysis (B), glycolytic capacity (C), and glycolytic reserve (D) of NK cells were compared in ECs, ARTs and HIVNs with or without 10 ng/mL IL-15 stimulation for 24 h. Paired t test was used to compare ECARs between stimulated and unstimulated cells, whereas one-way ANOVA test was used to compare ECARs among cohorts.
Horizontal lines in (B)–(D) represent medians. ∗p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01, ∗∗∗p < 0.001, ∗∗∗∗p < 0.0001.
