Tri-functional NK cell engagers (NKCEs), which crosslink both NKp46 and CD16, have demonstrated superior in vitro and in vivo anti-tumor activities compared to conventional monoclonal antibodies targeting the same antigens [81]. The conventional linear model suggests that mature NK cells arise from common lymphoid progenitors (CLPs) by progressing through a linear continuum [24]. 2016;5(4):e1115178. Lee et al. 2010;59(12):17819. This clearance for SNK02 is an important milestone in our pursuit to bring life-changing therapies to cancer patients and will be our second clinical NK cell therapy Ciurea SO, et al. New research by Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center molecular biologist Ami Yamamoto in the Cheung Lab, shows that a tumors necrotic core a mass of dying and dead cells previously thought to be inconsequential or perhaps even 2020;122:2006. With the ongoing effort to improve the treatment response and new methods of generating more feasible clinical scales of NK cells, emerging clinical trials are being designed to evaluate these new modalities and to expand their indications. 2015;23(2):3308. Int J Cancer. NK cell infiltration Abel AM, et al. Upon activation, NK cells release cytotoxic granules containing perforin and granzymes to directly lyse tumor cells, in a similar fashion to activated cytotoxic T cells. OKT3, an anti-CD3 mAb, has been commonly added to the irradiated autologous PBMC feeder, which can promote the expansion of NK cells up to over 1000-fold [4, 142,143,144]. 2015;13:277. Furthermore, NKp46-ANKET increased the number of NK cells at the tumor site, providing effective control of tumor growth in mouse models of solid and invasive Phase I clinical trial of autologous NK cell therapy using novel expansion method in patients with advanced digestive cancer. Use of CAR-transduced natural killer cells in CD19-positive lymphoid tumors. An increasing number of in vitro and in vivo studies have examined the activity of CAR-NK cells against solid tumors, with most preclinical data being available 2018; 172(5): 10221037. Stimulatingly, the substitution of natural killer (NK) cells with T cells is being considered as an effective solution since NK cells are capable of targeting tumors J Immunol. 2013;15(10):1297306. WebArtivas NK cells engineered to express chimeric antigen receptors, or CARs, have the potential to enhance the targeting and activity of the NK cells against either hematologic EpsteinBarr virus-transformed lymphoblastoid cell lines (EBV-LCLs) become especially effective allowing for up to 3000-fold expansion from CD3-depleted PBMC NKs [136] and was also used to generate large numbers of CD56+ NK cells derived from frozen UCB [137]. Recently, the FDA has approved the investigational new drug (IND) for the use of placenta-expanded NK cells (CYNK-001) against glioblastoma (GBM). In mouse, NK and ILC1 are NK1.1+CD3 but can be further characterized by CD49a and Eomes expression. 2016;4(3):21524. Google Scholar. The safety and efficacy of allogeneic or autologous donor-derived NK cell-based therapy for treating hematological malignancies, such as AML, have been well established [5, 29, 148]. 2023 BioMed Central Ltd unless otherwise stated.

Perform PBMCs apheresis from the patient and isolate NK cells, transfect the NK cells with Claudin6 targeting CAR, amplify the number of transfected NK cells as Tang X, et al. Instead, a combination of transcription factors, including T-bet, Eomes, E4BP4, Id2, and BLIMP, was identified to instruct NK development and maturation [23]. Genetically engineered CAR NK cells display selective cytotoxicity against FLT3-positive B-ALL and inhibit in vivo leukemia growth. NKG2D and DNAM-1 activating receptors and their ligands in NK-T cell interactions: role in the NK cell-mediated negative regulation of T cell responses. showed that CAR-NK cells genetically modified to express the chemokine receptor CXCR1 had enhanced migration in vitro and in vivo as compared to control CAR-NK cells [54]. The concept of adoptive NK cell cancer immunotherapy was proven a decade ago from pioneering clinical studies against hematological malignancies. 2. However, there are many challenges to overcome, such as difficulty to meet clinical-grade ex vivo expansion, limited in vivo persistence, limited infiltration to solid tumors, and tumor editing to evade NK cell activity. J Hematol Oncol 14, 7 (2021). 2018;23(2):181-192.e5. Current preclinical development of NK cell-based therapy was largely inspired by early clinical studies. The anti-CD3 mAb presumably activates T cells in feeder to secret cytokines which subsequently create a milieu favorable for NK cell expansion [145]. Interleukin (IL)-2 (IL-2) is one of the first and most important cytokines used for NK maintenance and is integral for NK cell survival. The signaling domains of CAR-NK cells are very similar to those in CAR-T cells, typically composed of the fusion of CD3 with one or two TCR co-stimulatory molecule (s), such as CD28, 4-1BB, 2B4, DNAM1, and NKG2D. But what it does in the realm of cancer spread is creepier still. It was hypothesized that once bound to mesothelin-overexpressing tumor cells, furin-mediated cleavage would release CXCL16 from the NRPbody and thereby recruit NK cells to the tumor sites [90]. 1995;1(6):60714. WebThis page lists cancer drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of solid tumors based on their genetic and molecular features and not on Front Immunol. Hum Gene Ther Methods. Aiming to generate novel CAR-NK cell-based cancer therapeutics, the consideration of tumor-specific surface antigens and the costimulatory molecules is the A novel source of NK cells has emerged to circumvent many of the challenges associated with NK cell therapy. It is currently believed that the success of adoptive transfer requires the creation of a lymphopenic environment to provide a niche for donor cells to survive and proliferate. 2012;209(13):235165. Cancer Immunol Immunother. The relative proportion of CD56bright and CD56dim NK cells in tissues can be very different from that observed in the peripheral blood [17]. Google Scholar. Current challenges Natural killer (NK) cells can swiftly kill multiple adjacent cells if these show surface markers associated with oncogenic transformation. NK cells originate from CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells. Allaoui R, et al. Efficient mRNA-based genetic engineering of human NK cells with high-affinity CD16 and CCR7 augments rituximab-induced ADCC against lymphoma and targets NK cell migration toward the lymph node-associated chemokine CCL19.

For instance, the enhancement of the Wnt signaling pathway with GSK3b inhibitor induces definitive hematopoiesis [112, 113] NK cells developed in such conditions had more pronounced inflammatory cytokine production phenotype, whereas Wnt independent NK subsets, similar to primary fetal NK cells, formed a bias for increased cytotoxicity [110]. The ability of Natural Killer (NK) cells to kill tumor targets has been extensively studied in various hematological malignancies. Gauthier, L., et al. J Immunother. Clinicaltrials.gov currently lists over 100 clinical trials of NK cell-based cancer immunotherapy. Targeting immunosuppressive components in the TME to re-invigorate NK functions is also under investigation. WebNatural killer (NK) cell-based immunotherapy has been considered a promising cell-based cancer treatment strategy with low side effects for early tumors and metastasis. 2014;32(4):102131. Autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation and adoptive immunotherapy with activated natural killer cells in the immediate posttransplant period. To circumvent these challenges, Bi- and tri-specific killer engagers, BiKEs and TriKEs, are in development as a complemental approach. The differences also arise from activation approaches, such as the choice of interleukins, their combinations, type of feeder cells, and some other factors [95,96,97]. 2018;32(2):52031. CAR-NK cell therapy is a novel immunotherapy strategy by utilizing genetically-engineered NK cells to target specific cancer, which can be both liquid and Oncotarget. Table 5 summarizes the clinical trials of NK cell-based therapy for hematological malignancies to date. You F, et al.

Donor-derived natural killer cells infused after human leukocyte antigen-haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation: a dose-escalation study. Sci Transl Med. But cancer cells can make themselves invisible, making it much more difficult for NK cells to find them and do their job. So far, NK cell therapies havent shown any of the significant toxicities that plague CAR T cell therapies. 2016;7(19):2776477. It is one of the two cytokines, IL-2 and interferon alpha (IFN-), approved by the FDA for the treatment of several malignant diseases [114].
