Supplemental Figures 1-6 from GSK3 Inhibition Drives Maturation of NK Cells and Enhances Their Antitumor Activity

This supplementary file contains Supplemental Figures 1-6. Supplemental Figure 1 shows that 7-day ex vivo culture of NK cells with IL-15 and 5 μM CHIR99021 leads to an increase in the frequencies of NK cells with heterogeneous adaptive NK cell phenotypes (defined by expression of CD57, PLZF, SYK and FcεR1γ) relative to DMSO controls. Supplemental Figure 2 contains a detailed phenotypic characterization of receptor expression and cytotoxic granule component levels in sorted CD3-CD56dimCD57- and CD3-CD56dimCD57+ NK cells cultured for 7 days with IL-15 and either DMSO or 5 μM CHIR99021. Supplementary Figure 3 shows an analysis of NK cell phenotype, viability and proliferation after 7-day culture with IL-15 and either DMSO or CHIR99021 at several concentrations (1 μM, 3 μM and 5 μM). Supplemental Figure 4 shows an analysis of NK cell function (CD107a and IFN-γ) against K562 cells. NK cells were cultured for 7 days in IL-15 and either DMSO or 5 μM CHIR99021. Function was determined for individual CD3-CD56+ NK cell subsets gated on CD57 and NKG2C. Supplemental Figure 5 shows an analysis of NK cell function (CD107a and IFN-γ) against K562 cells. NK cells were cultured for 7 days in IL-15 and either DMSO or 5 μM CHIR99021. Function was determined for individual CD3-CD56+ NK cell subsets gated on CD57 and KIR. Supplemental Figure 6 shows the frequency of ex vivo expanded NK cells expressing CD57 and/or NKG2C 14 days after adoptive transfer into NSG mice.
