Abstract
Background: Natural killer (NK) cells have gained considerable attention and hold great potential for their application in tumor immunotherapy. This is mainly due to their MHC-unrestricted and pan-specific recognition capabilities, as well as their ability to rapidly respond to and eliminate target cells. To artificially generate therapeutic NK cells, various materials can be utilized, such as peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), umbilical cord blood (UCB), induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), and NK cell lines. Exploiting the therapeutic potential of NK cells to treat tumors through in vivo and in vitro therapeutic modalities has yielded positive therapeutic results.
Conclusion: This review provides a comprehensive description of NK cell therapeutic approaches for tumors and discusses the current problems associated with these therapeutic approaches and the prospects of NK cell therapy for tumors.
背景:自然杀伤(NK)细胞在肿瘤免疫疗法中的应用受到了广泛关注,并具有巨大潜力。这主要归功于它们不受 MHC 限制的泛特异性识别能力,以及对靶细胞做出快速反应并将其消灭的能力。要人工生成治疗性 NK 细胞,可以利用多种材料,如外周血单核细胞(PBMC)、脐带血(UCB)、诱导多能干细胞(iPSC)和 NK 细胞系。通过体内和体外治疗模式挖掘 NK 细胞治疗肿瘤的潜力已取得了积极的治疗效果:本综述全面介绍了 NK 细胞治疗肿瘤的方法,并讨论了目前与这些治疗方法相关的问题以及 NK 细胞治疗肿瘤的前景。
期刊介绍:
The Official Journal of the International Society for Cellular Oncology
Focuses on translational research
Addresses the conversion of cell biology to clinical applications
Cellular Oncology publishes scientific contributions from various biomedical and clinical disciplines involved in basic and translational cancer research on the cell and tissue level, technical and bioinformatics developments in this area, and clinical applications. This includes a variety of fields like genome technology, micro-arrays and other high-throughput techniques, genomic instability, SNP, DNA methylation, signaling pathways, DNA organization, (sub)microscopic imaging, proteomics, bioinformatics, functional effects of genomics, drug design and development, molecular diagnostics and targeted cancer therapies, genotype-phenotype interactions.
A major goal is to translate the latest developments in these fields from the research laboratory into routine patient management. To this end Cellular Oncology forms a platform of scientific information exchange between molecular biologists and geneticists, technical developers, pathologists, (medical) oncologists and other clinicians involved in the management of cancer patients.
In vitro studies are preferentially supported by validations in tumor tissue with clinicopathological associations.
