Microvesicles produced by natural killer cells of the NK-92 cell line affect the phenotype and functions of endothelial cells of the EA.Hy926 cell line by K. L. Markova, V. A. Mikhailova, A. V. Korenevsky, Yu. P. Milyutina, V. V. Rodygina, E. P. Aleksandrova, A. S. Markov, O. A. Balabas, S. A. Selkov, D. I. Sokolov

“…The results revealed significant differences in the proteomic profiles of cells of the NK-92 cell line and their MV product. Contact between ECs and MVs derived from cells of the NK-92 cell line is accompanied by the following events: a) expression of granzyme B in ECs, b) activation of caspase-9 and caspase-3, with partial EC death, c) appearance of the panleukocyte marker CD45 on ECs, d) decrease in CD105 expression, and increase in CD34 and CD54 expression, and e) inhibition of EC migration. …”
