Summary |
Aim |
A HER2-specific second-generation chimeric antigen receptor (5.137.z) was introduced into NK-92 cells, designated as NK-92/5.137.z cells. To evaluate the function and effectiveness of NK-92/5.137.z cells against gastric cancer cells and further determined whether combination with apatinib can synergize with this NK cell-based practice to better suppress gastric cancer.
Methods |
The expression of HER2 was examined in gastric cancer. The in vitro and in vivo cytotoxic activities of NK-92/5.137.z cells with or without apatinib were evaluated against gastric cancer cell lines.
Results |
HER2 proteins were over-expressed in a considerable proportion of gastric cancer cells. NK-92/5.137.z cells specifically lysed gastric cancer cells expressing HER2 and had higher levels of cytokine production. In vivo, NK-92/5.137.z cells were particularly efficient at eliminating small tumor xenografts, whereas larger solid tumors were not effectively controlled with NK-92/5.137.z cells. Treatment with apatinib increased NK cell infiltration into large tumor xenografts and improved the therapeutic efficacy of NK-92/5.137.z cells.
Conclusion |
NK-92/5.137.z cells could represent a novel treatment option for patients with gastric cancer, either used alone or combined with apatinib.
