Fig. 6. NK cells enhance anti-PDAC activity in the presence of type I IFN and immunomodulatory molecules from CAdTrio.

a PANC-1, CAPAN-1, and CFPAC-1 expressing ffLuc were cultured with NK cells with increasing doses of rIFNα. We also cultured NK cells expressing ffLuc with these cancer cells (E:T = 1:10) with increasing doses of rIFNα. Cells were harvested 0 and 72 h post coculture, and viable cells were analyzed by luciferase assay (n = 4 biologically independent samples, each timepoint). Data are presented as means ± SD. P-values were determined by ordinary one-way ANOVA with Tukey multiple comparisons. CFPAC (F(4,15) = 351.8) NK (F(4,15) = 346.8), Panc1 (F(4,15) = 468.7) NK (F(4,15) = 106.3), CAPAN1 (F(4,15) = 1121) NK (F(4,15) = 318.4. b PANC-1, CAPAN-1, and CFPAC-1 expressing ffLuc (or not expressing) were infected with 100 vp/cell of HDAdTrio. Cells expressing ffLuc were cultured with NK cells (E:T = 1:10). We also cultured NK cells expressing ffLuc with these cancer cells (E:T = 1:10) at 24 h post infection of HDAdTrio in the presence or absence of 1 ng/mL rIFNα. Cells were harvested 72 h post coculture, and viable cells were analyzed by luciferase assay (n = 4 biologically independent samples). Data are presented as means ± SD. P-values were determined by ordinary one-way ANOVA with Tukey multiple comparisons. CFPAC (F(3,12) = 1114) NK (F(3,12) = 458.3), Panc1 (F(3,12) = 356.6) NK (F(3,12) = 410.2), CAPAN1 (F(3,12) = 459.6) NK (F(3,12) = 131.4). c We sampled media 72 h post coculture, and measured granulysin using ELISA assay (n = 4 biologically independent samples). Data are presented as means ± SD. P-values were determined by ordinary one-way ANOVA with Tukey multiple comparisons, p < 0.001 (F(3,12) = 41.07), p < 0.0001 (F(3,12) = 74.40), p < 0.0001 (F(3,12) = 49.49). Statistical significance set at p < 0.05, ns > 0.05.
