This study provides a comprehensive landscape of molecular changes in NK and blood cancer cells when they interact and the mechanisms contributing to sensitivity vs #resistance to #NKcell-based therapies, providing a framework for new personalized therapies @ImmunityCP#ASH23
Congratulations to @ollidufva & @DrSGandalf, who are co-first authors of this study at @ImmunityCP@CellPressNews. Many thanks to all colleagues & collaborators in this study
We finally tested how knocking out CRISPR hits in cancer cells influences NK cells. This gave some interesting results, such as defective activation with CD58 knockout and increased activation with JAK1 knockout.

Many perturbations had strong transcriptomic effects as seen from the UMAPs. Several of them also affected the IFNy negative feedback response to NK attack, giving clues to how they mediate NK resistance/sensitivity. Also many more interesting downstream effects in the paper

We wondered which of the CRISPR hits could explain variation and correlate with sensitivity to NK cells across the PRISM cell lines in their expression levels. Turns out these include activating receptor ligands (NCR3LG1, ULBP1, PVR) and MHC-I.
