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.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) presents treatment challenges due to a lack of detectable surface receptors. Natural killer (NK) cell-based adaptive immunotherapy is promising because the characteristic anticancer effects killing malignant cells directly by secreting cytokines and lytic granules. To maximize recognition ability NK cells, biomaterial-mediated ex vivo cell engineering has been developed for sufficient membrane immobilization tumor-targeting ligands via hydrophobic anchoring. In this study, we optimized amphiphilic balances coating materials composed CD44-targeting hyaluronic acid (HA)-poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-lipid improve TNBC effect. Changes in modular design our material differentiating hydrophilic PEG length incorporating lipid amount into HA backbones precisely regulated nature HA-PEG-lipid conjugates. The biomaterial demonstrated improved anchoring membranes facilitating presentation level onto surfaces. This led enhanced targeting increasing formation immune synapse, thereby augmenting capability specifically toward CD44-positive cells. Our approach addresses solid tumors with deficiency tumor-specific antigens while offering valuable strategy using balance techniques.

Abstract Natural killer (NK) cells have clinical advantages in adoptive cell therapy owing to their inherent anticancer efficacy and ability identify eliminate malignant tumors. However, insufficient cancer-targeting ligands on NK surfaces often inhibit immunotherapeutic performance, especially immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. To facilitate recognition subsequent function of cells, we developed hyaluronic acid (HA, target CD44 overexpressed onto cancer cells)-poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG, cytoplasmic penetration blocker)-Lipid (molecular anchor for membrane decoration through hydrophobic interaction) conjugates biomaterial-mediated ex vivo surface engineering. Among these major compartments (i.e., Lipid, PEG HA), optimization lipid anchors (in terms chemical structure intrinsic amphiphilicity) is the most important design parameter modulate interaction with dynamic membranes. Here, three different types including 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphati-dylethanolamine (C14:0), 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylethanolamine (DSPE, C18:0), cholesterol were evaluated maximize coating associated performance surface-engineered (HALipid-NK cells). Our results demonstrated that coated HA-PEG-DSPE exhibited significantly enhanced efficacies toward MDA-MB-231 breast without an off-target effect human fibroblasts specifically via increased prolonged duration HA surfaces, thereby improving HA-CD44 recognition. These suggest our HALipid-NK tumor-recognizable could be further utilized various immunotherapies. Graphical

Immune cells show enormous potential for targeted nanoparticle delivery due to their intrinsic tumor-homing skills. However, the immune can internalize nanoparticles, leading cellular functional impairments, degradation of and delayed release drugs from cells.
