The emergence of immunotherapy has introduced a promising, novel approach to cancer treatment. While multiple chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies have demonstrated remarkable clinical efficacy against leukemia, their effect on solid tumors has been limited. One potential option for treating solid tumors is the engineering of natural killer (NK) cells with CARs. Mesothelin (MSLN), a tumor differentiation antigen, is expressed on triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells, making it a potential target for CAR-NK therapy in the treatment of TNBC. We first constructed induced pluripotent stem cells with stable anti-MSLN-CAR expression and subsequently differentiated these cells into mesothelin-targeted CAR-NK (MSLN-NK) cells. We then assessed the effects of MSLN-NK cells on TNBC cells both in vitro (using the MDA-MB-231 cell line), in vivo (in a CDX mouse model), and ex vivo (using patient-specific primary cells and patient-specific organoids), in which MSLN surface expression was confirmed. Our CDX study results indicated that MSLN-NK cells effectively killed MDA-MB-231 (MD231) cells in vitro, reduced tumor growth in the CDX mouse model of TNBC, and lysed patient-specific primary cells and patient-specific organoids derived from the tumor samples of TNBC patients. Our data demonstrated that MSLN-NK cells had high efficacy on killing TNBC cells in in vitro, in vivo, and ex vivo. Therefore, MSLN-NK could be a promising treatment option for TNBC patients.
免疫疗法的出现为癌症治疗带来了一种有前途的新方法。虽然多种嵌合抗原受体 (CAR) T 细胞疗法已证明对白血病具有显著的临床疗效,但它们对实体瘤的疗效有限。用 CAR 修饰自然杀伤 (NK) 细胞是治疗实体瘤的一种潜在选择。间皮素 (MSLN) 是一种肿瘤分化抗原,在三阴性乳腺癌 (TNBC) 细胞上表达,使其成为 CAR-NK 治疗 TNBC 的潜在靶点。我们首先构建了具有稳定抗 MSLN-CAR 表达的诱导多能干细胞,随后将这些细胞分化为间皮素靶向 CAR-NK (MSLN-NK) 细胞。然后,我们评估了 MSLN-NK 细胞对 TNBC 细胞的影响,包括体外(使用 MDA-MB-231 细胞系)、体内(在 CDX 小鼠模型中)和体外(使用患者特异性原代细胞和患者特异性类器官,其中证实了 MSLN 表面表达)。我们的 CDX 研究结果表明,MSLN-NK 细胞在体外有效杀死 MDA-MB-231 (MD231) 细胞,减少 TNBC 的 CDX 小鼠模型中的肿瘤生长,并裂解来自 TNBC 患者肿瘤样本的患者特异性原代细胞和患者特异性类器官。我们的数据表明,MSLN-NK 细胞在体外、体内和体外对杀伤 TNBC 细胞具有很高的疗效。因此,MSLN-NK 可能是 TNBC 患者的一种有前途的治疗选择。
