Current cytokine-based natural killer (NK) cell priming techniques have exhibited limitations such as the deactivation of biological signaling molecules and subsequent insufficient maturation population during mass cultivation processes. In this study, we developed an amphiphilic trigonal 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphorylethanolamine (DSPE) lipid-polyethylene glycol (PEG) material to assemble NK clusters via multiple hydrophobic lipid insertions into cellular membranes. Our conjugate-mediated ex vivo sufficiently augmented structural modulation clusters, facilitated diffusional signal exchanges, finally activated with clusters. Without any inhibition in exchanges intrinsic proliferative efficacy cells, effectively prime produced increased interferon-gamma, especially early culture periods. conclusion, present study demonstrates that our novel conjugates could serve a promising alternative for future production.

Abstract Adoptive immunotherapy utilizing natural killer (NK) cells has demonstrated remarkable efficacy in treating hematologic malignancies. However, its clinical intervention for solid tumors is hindered by the limited expression of tumor‐specific antigens. Herein, lipid‐PEG conjugated hyaluronic acid (HA) materials (HA‐PEG‐Lipid) simple ex‐vivo surface coating NK developed 1) lipid‐mediated cellular membrane anchoring via hydrophobic interaction and thereby 2) sufficient presentation CD44 ligand (i.e., HA) onto cancer targeting, without need genetic manipulation. Membrane‐engineered can selectively recognize CD44‐overexpressing through HA‐CD44 affinity subsequently induce situ activation elimination. Therefore, surface‐engineered using HA‐PEG‐Lipid (HANK cells) establish an immune synapse with MIA PaCa‐2 pancreatic cells, triggering “recognition‐activation” mechanism, ultimately eliminating cells. Moreover, mouse xenograft tumor models, administrated HANK demonstrate significant infiltration into tumors, resulting apoptosis/necrosis effective suppression progression metastasis, as compared to gemcitabine. Taken together, biomaterials expedite treatment facilitating a sequential recognition‐activation mechanism suggesting promising approach cell‐mediated immunotherapy.
