There are a number of ongoing clinical trials for cancer immunotherapy using engineered iPSC-NK cells, which are summarized in the following sections. Front Immunol. Leukemia. Blood. Targeted drugs are the preferred recommendations for the systemic treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma. 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 approach of using the modified NK cell line CAR-NK92, which can be easily expanded to large dose, has been in clinical trial. Cytokine-free directed differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells efficiently produces hemogenic endothelium with lymphoid potential. However, NK92 is a transformed cell line that has limitations associated with its tumorigenic nature, and cytogenetic abnormalities, thus requiring irradiation for clinical use, which limits its life-time activity. CAR-NK is one of the approaches in development to overcome this limitation. Due to relatively unsophisticated cues for activation, NK cell has gained significant attention in the field of cancer immunotherapy. A first-in-human clinical trial of CAR NK-92 cells in 3 patients with relapsed or refractory AML showed that CAR NK-92 can be infused at doses up to 5 billion cells per patient without causing significant adverse effects [149].

In many studies, IL-2 or IL-15 is supplemented during ex vivo expansion of NK cells and sometimes after NK cell infusion as well [5]. In the last years, natural killer (NK) cell-based immunotherapy has emerged as a promising therapeutic approach for solid tumors and hematological malignancies.

In summary, NK cells are functional in tumor surveillance and can be manipulated by artificial activation techniques to present a highly effective anticancer tool against hematopoietic malignancies and, dependent on successful further rearming and mobilization, against solid tumors in the future. 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. The presence of autologous feeder cells (typically CD3-depleted PBMCs) in culture additionally facilitates NK expansion [124]. 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.

GSK3 inhibition drives maturation of NK cells and enhances their antitumor activity. The antigen recognition domain usually consists of a single-chain fragment (scFV) molecule derived from a monoclonal antibody, and nanobody-based constructs have been used in limited studies to date [72]. Beyond cytokines, other stimulants, including tumor cells, allogeneic PBMCs, antibodies, and microbiol derivatives, have been explored for enhancing ex vivo NK cell expansion. Romee, R., et al.

Typically, a dose of UCB or placenta donor can be expended to an amount sufficient for one adoptive transfer procedure. NK cells, which were discovered almost 50 years ago, can defend against tumors in most tissues without requiring detection of specific tumor antigens. However, CAR-T therapy has two major challenges: (i) requirement of a substantiate length of time to generate a therapeutic dose of autologous CAR-T cells which limits its feasibility to treat patients with rapidly progressing diseases; (ii) difficulty to obtain sufficient number of autologous T cells for CAR-T cell generation from heavily pre-treated and often lymphopenic cancer patients [37].

Regulatory considerations for NK cells used in human immunotherapy applications.
