All data from two independent experiments were pooled (n = 9). Statistic: two-way ANOVA (P < 0.0001) with Bonferroni post hoc. Bonferroni post hoc results were marked on the graph. Intratumoral administration scheme was created with BioRender.com. G, RTCA cytotoxicity of CAR-PD-L1-NK-92MI and CAR-PD-L1-PRDX1-NK-92MI cells toward PD-L1+MDA-MB-231 cells in different GOX concentrations (E:T ratio 1:1). Representative results from one experiment. Data shown as averages ± SD from two technical replicates. H, Summary RTCA cytotoxicity data (n = 6) at 19 hours after effectors' addition. Data shown as median (horizontal line) and mean (plus symbol) with range. Points represent the average of two technical replicates. Statistic: two-way ANOVA (P < 0.001) with Bonferroni post hoc.

A, Representative RTCA cytotoxicity of nonstimulated (left) and IL15-stimulated (right) NK cells toward K562 targets in the presence of increasing concentrations of GOX (E:T ratios: 1:1, 2:1, 5:1). Data show averages ± SD from two technical replicates. B, Summary of RTCA cytotoxicity experiments (n = 5) at 19 hours after effectors' addition. Left: nonstimulated; right: IL15-stimulated NK cells. Data show median with range. Dots represent average of two technical replicates. C, scRNA-seq analysis of PRDX1 in different NK cell subsets stimulated with IL15. The scRNA-seq data were processed using Seurat 3. Samples within each subset were merged, and the dot plot shows for each gene the average expression level in the subsets as well as the percentage of cells within the subsets that expressed the gene. Visualization was generated using the DotPlot function within the Seurat toolkit. D, Western blot analysis of PRDX1 in nonstimulated and IL15-stimulated (10 ng/mL) NK cells.
