A correct ILC reconstitution is crucial, particularly in patients receiving HSC transplantation (HSCT), the only therapeutic option for many adult and pediatric high-risk hematological malignancies.

Among others, CAR T cell therapy has evolved regarding vector design and manufacturing process. Optimal production of CAR T cells is not yet defined, far from being standardized. Quality, cellular composition and immunophenotype of the administered CAR T cells are influenced by the manufacturing protocol and therefore play a crucial role for therapeutic success.

Microscopy imaging reveals structural organization of the synapse, while physical methods detail its mechanical construction. Various techniques have been reported for measuring forces needed to rupture the interface between a T lymphocyte and its target cell but most of them measure one pair at a time. We describe here a laminar shear flow-based method that exerts dragging forces on T cell-target cells pairs immobilized on the surface of a flow chamber. Increasing flow rate allows us to observe the detachment of hundreds of cell conjugates on the wide field of a light transmission microscope. Monitoring precisely the flow rate gradient exerted on T cells readily yields synapse rupture measurements. Dragging forces are measured at the point of rupture as a linear function of the flow speed in minutes from 10pN to 20nN for each cell pair among a statistically representative cell population in the whole field of view of a single experiment. The output cells can be collected in multi-well plate sorted in the increasing order of rupture forces. We used this approach to unveil the involvement of the cytoskeleton regulator adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) in the stability of immunological synapses formed between human cytotoxic T cell and tumor target cells. APC is a polarity regulator and tumor suppressor associated with familial adenomatous polyposis and colorectal cancer. Reduced APC expression impairs T cell adhesion with tumor target cells suggesting an impact of APC mutation in anti-tumor immune defense.</p>","PeriodicalId":18437,"journal":{"name":"Methods in cell biology","volume":"193 ","pages":"175-200"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143370861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While unstimulated NK cells have shown limited antitumoral activity in adoptive cell therapy, various activation and expansion protocols have been proposed to enhance their cytotoxic potential. Activated and expanded allogeneic NK cells, especially with the rise of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) therapies, have attracted significant attention from academic and commercial sectors. Protocols typically involve using cytokines and stimulatory cells, such as Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-transformed lymphoblastoid B cell lines (LCLs) or K562 leukemic cells, before or after NK cell enrichment.
