The recent advancements in cancer immunotherapy have spotlighted the potential of natural killer (NK) cells, particularly chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-transduced NK cells. These pivotal innate immunity, offer a rapid and potent response against cells pathogens without need for prior sensitization or recognition peptide antigens. Although cell genetic modification is evolving, viral transduction method continues to be inefficient fraught with risks, often resulting cytotoxic outcomes possibility insertional mutagenesis. Consequently, there has been surge development non-viral transfection technologies overcome these challenges engineering. Non-viral approaches CAR-NK generation are becoming increasingly essential. Cutting-edge techniques such as trogocytosis, electroporation, lipid nanoparticle (LNP) delivery, clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats-associated protein 9 (CRISPR-Cas9) gene editing transposons not only enhance efficiency safety engineering but also open new avenues novel therapeutic possibilities. Additionally, infusion already successful CAR T-cell therapy into paradigm holds immense further advancements. In this review, we present an overview immunotherapies, well

Abstract Background NK cell is one of innate immune cells and can protect the body from cancer-initiating cells. It has been reported that GPR116 receptor involved in inflammation tumors. However, effect on remains largely unclear. Results We discovered −/− mice could efficiently eliminate pancreatic cancer through enhancing proportion function tumor. Moreover, expression was decreased upon activation Besides, showed higher cytotoxicity antitumor activity vitro vivo by producing more GzmB IFNγ than wild-type (WT) Mechanistically, regulated via Gαq/HIF1α/NF-κB signaling pathway. Furthermore, downregulation promoted NKG2D-CAR-NK92 against both vivo. Conclusions Our data indicated had a negatively enhance activity, which provides new idea to efficiency CAR therapy.

Malignant bone tumors are aggressive tumors, with a high tendency to metastasize, that observed most frequently in adolescents during rapid growth spurts. Pediatric patients malignant sarcomas, Ewing sarcoma and osteosarcoma, who present progressive disease have dire survival rates despite therapy. These therapies can long-term effects on growth, such as decreased mineral density reduced longitudinal growth. New therapeutic approaches therefore urgently needed for targeting pediatric tumors. Harnessing the power of immune system against cancer has improved dramatically certain types. Natural killer (NK) cells heterogeneous group innate effector possess numerous antitumor effects, cytolysis cytokine production. been shown be especially susceptible NK-cell-mediated killing. NK-cell adoptive therapy confers advantages over T-cell therapy, including good safety profile lack major histocompatibility complex restriction. immunotherapy potential new In this manuscript, we review general characteristics osteosarcoma sarcoma, discuss treatment bones, barriers effective sarcomas.
