IL15 Trispecific Killer Engagers (TriKE) Make natural killer cells specific to CD33+ targets while also inducing persistence, in vivo expansion, and enhanced function. Among these TCR cell co-stimulatory molecules, 4-1BB, DNAM1, 2B4, and NKG2D were also expressed by NK cells as native activating receptors. 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]. In the last years, natural killer (NK) cell-based immunotherapy has emerged as a promising therapeutic approach for solid tumors and hematological malignancies. Eur J Cancer. NK cells can trigger target cell death by releasing cytotoxic granules containing granzymes and perforin and through death receptor-mediated pathways (e.g., FasL/Fas) [11]. 2019;120(1):615. Ciurea SO, et al. The difficulty to obtain large quantity of NK cells, to expand to clinical scale ex vivo, and to sustain in vivo survival and activity of infused NK cells has encumbered the progress.

But cancer cells can make themselves invisible, making it much more difficult for NK cells to find them and do their job. Notably, certain tissues such as the mucosal barriers possess subsets of recently identified innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) that also share canonical markers of NK cells. The Ruggeri group showed that KIR-mismatched alloreactive donor NK cells protected bone marrow-transplanted AML patients from AML relapse while sparing graft versus host diseases (GVHD) [31, 32]. Three out of 12 patients had durable complete remissions [89], providing evidence for further clinical evaluation of this approach. 2013;73(8):2598607.

This successful immunotherapy has led to a more complete view of cancer that now considers not only the cancer cells to be targeted and destroyed but also the immune environment of the cancer cells. Cytokines are the critical components of NK maintenance system and activation as discussed earlier. 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. 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. Exposure of NK to unmodified NK cell-sensitive leukemia cells (K562) stimulates expansion and short-term proliferation [133]. 2019;10:719. Cancer Manag Res. Generation of BiKEs and TriKEs to improve NK cell-mediated targeting of tumor cells. This protocol created a possibility to generate a substantially higher number of NK cells from a single dose of peripheral blood [131] and is currently in phase I/II clinical trial (NCT01787474) with expanded haploid-identical NK cells for treating relapsed or refractory AML.

There are also many ongoing clinical trials to evaluate the safety and efficacy of tumor-targeting CAR-NK cells, including using HER2-specific CAR-NK cell to treat advanced or metastatic HER2-expressing solid tumors (NCT04319757), ROBO1-specific CAR-NK cell to treat a broad spectrum of solid tumors (NCT03940820), and MUC1-specific CAR-pNK to treat patients with MUC1-positive relapsed or refractory solid tumor (NCT02839954). WebPhysiological barriers and immunosuppressive microenvironments of solid tumors present considerable hurdles to Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy. As the activation and expansion methods are improving, it is becoming possible to prepare increasingly higher dosages of NK cells for adoptive transfer from a single-donor phlebotomy. 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]. In mouse, the lack of CD3 and the presence of NK1.1 are canonical criterion for distinguishing NK cells. Cytotherapy. Source: Liu, S., Galat, V., Galat4, Y. et al.

WebNK cells are innate lymphocytes holding a spectrum of functional aptitudes, comprising anti-cancer, anti-viral, and anti-graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) functions ( 2 ). Sci Rep. 2019;9(1):13288. NK cells are found both in blood at levels of 5%-15% of circulating lymphocytes and in various lymphoid and non-lymphoid organs such as the spleen, lung, and liver [17, 18]. An even greater expansion of NK cells, of over 30,000-fold in a period of 3weeks, was achieved with K562 membrane-bound IL-21 and 4-1BB ligand [127,128,129,130]. Innate lymphoid cells: a proposal for uniform nomenclature. Handgretinger R, Lang P, Andre MC. Siegler U, et al. Table 5 summarizes the clinical trials of NK cell-based therapy for hematological malignancies to date. It remains to be determined how NRPbody will interact with a more complex and realistic immune contexture in the TME which consists of more than NK cells, as CXCL16 was shown in other tumor models to correlate with the infiltration of monocytes and M2-macrophages as well [92, 93]. The donor-derived NK cells have certain limitations mainly because of their variability in functional competence and expansion potential. 2010;59(12):17819. A more simplified NK cell expansion method has been used by combining group Astreptococcus and zoledronate with IL-2 to stimulate UCB-derived mononuclear cells. They demonstrated in vitro and in a mouse xenograft model grafted with human neuroblastoma and MDSCs that NKG2D CAR-NK cells can reduce human MDSCs efficiently [77].

N Engl J Med. The adoptive transfer of natural killer (NK) cells is an emerging therapy in the field of immuno-oncology. The feasibility of utilizing allogeneic NK cells, the established safety profiles, and the fast-acting nature of NK cells largely have led to the emerging effort to develop off-the-shelf NK cell-based cancer immunotherapy. In addition to cytokine-only strategies, Cichocki and colleagues demonstrated that pharmacologic inhibition of GSK3 kinase with CHIR99021 drives late-stage maturation of ex vivo-expanded human peripheral blood NK cells and enhanced their anti-tumor effector functions both in vitro and in vivo [87]. Vallera DA, et al. There are great numbers of clinical trials on NK cell immunotherapy to treat solid tumors. Conversely, tumorigenic cells or virally infected cells have downregulated MHC I expression but upregulated levels of ligands for NK cell activating receptors and thus trigger NK cell activation due to the lack of inhibitory signals and/or the presence of activating signals [11].

NK cell dysfunction via altered activating receptor expression or tumor downregulation of NK cell receptor ligands is a common method of tumor immune escape. For example, the absence of NKG2D and other NCR ligands on leukemic blasts allows them to escape NK cell surveillance [86, 87]. NK cell progenitors progress through distinct developmental stages and gradually acquire the expression of surface receptors that define NK cell identity such as NK1.1 and CD56 and/or regulate their effector functions such as CD16 and NKp46 [19].
