Expression of cystatin F in TALL-104 cells and human CD8+ T cells. (A) Representative western blot experiment showing expression of the monomeric and dimeric form of cystatin F in unstimulated and stimulated TALL-104 cells and human CD8+ T cells. Both, TALL-104 and human CD8+ T cells, were stimulated with anti-CD3/anti-CD28 antibody coated beads. Multiple bands correspond to differently glycosylated forms of cystatin F.21 (B) Quantification of western blot data was performed in Image Lab software. Signals for cystatin F were first normalized to β-actin signal and TALL-104 control sample intensity was set to 1 arbitrary unit (AU). Relative intensities of other bands were calculated accordingly. Error bars represent s.e.m between three separate experiments.
** p ≤ 0.01, statistical analysis was performed for total cystatin F levels.

Cytotoxicity of TALL-104 after TGFβ or ionomycin treatment is reduced. (A) TALL-104 cells were treated with 100 pM TGFβ for 24 hours or 0.5 μM ionomycin for 16 hours. Cytotoxicity against NK-sensitive targets K-562 cells and NK-resistant targets Raji cells was measured by a 4 hou r calcein-AM release assay at different effector-to-target cell ratios. Lytic units (LU 30/106) were calculated using the inverse number of TALL-104 cells needed to lyse 30% of target cells × 100. Error bars represent SD between triplicates. ANOVA was used for statistical analysis, *** p ≤ 0.001 and ****p ≤ 0.0001. (B) Cytotoxicity of control, TGFβ and ionomycin treated TALL-104 cells against K-562 and Raji target cells was measured by a 4 hour calcein-AM release assay at different effector-to-target cell ratio. During the assay the Ca2+ chelator EGTA or EGTA with excess Ca2+ was added. Error bars represent SD between triplicates.

TGFβ and ionomycin increase cystatin F protein levels. (A, B) TALL-104 cells were stimulated with anti-CD3/anti-CD28 antibody coated beads in the presence or absence of 100 pM TGFβ. (C, D) TALL-104 cells were treated with 0.5 μM ionomycin for 16 hours and stimulated with 10 nM PMA and 1μM ionomycin. (E, F) Human CD8+ T cells were treated with 0.5 μM ionomycin for 16 hours and stimulated with anti-CD3/anti-CD28 antibody coated beads. (A, C, E) show representative western blots for cystatin F, while (B, D, F) show quantification of 3 (B, D) or 2 (F) independent experiments. Quantification was performed in Image Lab software. Signals for cystatin F were first normalized to β-actin (B, F) or GAPDH (D) signal and TALL-104 control sample intensity was set to 1 arbitrary unit (AU). Relative intensities of other bands were calculated accordingly. Data are presented as mean ± s.e.m. * p ≤ 0.05, ** p ≤ 0.01, statistical analysis was performed for total cystatin F levels.

(A-C) TALL-104 and pCTLs were analysed for cathepsins C, H and L expression by western blot. GAPDH or β-actin staining was used to show protein loading.
