The Biological Role and Therapeutic Potential of NK Cells in Hematological and Solid Tumors

Rodion A. Velichinskii et al.

Summary: NK cells are a promising target for cancer immunotherapy for their potent antitumor activity, with a reduced risk of graft versus host disease compared to T cells. While NK-cell-based therapies show considerable effectiveness for hematological tumors, the low efficiency of NK cell migration and functional activity in the tumor environment poses major barriers for their use in solid tumor treatment. Various strategies are being explored to enhance NK cell anticancer therapies.

Targeting the NKG2D/NKG2D-L axis in acute myeloid leukemia

Zhenhui Wu et al.

Summary: The NKG2D/NKG2D-L axis plays a crucial role in the development of AML, activating the immune system and affecting chemotherapy and immune recognition. Therefore, research targeting the NKG2D/NKG2D-L axis holds great potential for the discovery of novel biomacromolecule antibodies and pharmacological modulators.

Role of Polymorphisms of NKG2D Receptor and Its Ligands in Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Human Stem Cell Transplantation

Alena Machuldova et al.

Summary: Natural killer cells (NK cells) play key roles in malignant diseases, particularly in acute myeloid leukemia. NK cell activity is influenced by signals received through binding of different ligands to activating or inhibitory receptors. NK cells eliminate transformed or infected cells by binding to NKG2D ligands, while target cells develop protective mechanisms to evade NK cell killing.

Escape From Treatment; the Different Faces of Leukemic Stem Cells and Therapy Resistance in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Noortje van Gils et al.

Summary: Standard induction chemotherapy is the first-line therapy for AML, but many patients face relapse or refractory disease. AML relapse is caused by therapy-resistant leukemia cells, with LSCs being considered the origin. The different states of treatment persisters and LSCs can be exploited to achieve optimal therapy response.

Novel Immune Cell-Based Therapies to Eradicate High-Risk Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Roberto Limongello et al.

Summary: Adverse genetic risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) poses a significant treatment challenge with poor outcomes, necessitating novel therapeutic approaches. While allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) remains the curative option, high relapse rates and dismal outcomes prompt the exploration of new transplant strategies. Recent research has shown that haploidentical allo-HSCT combined with T cell adoptive immunotherapy can overcome chemoresistance and improve survival in AML patients.

Manipulating the NKG2D Receptor-Ligand Axis Using CRISPR: Novel Technologies for Improved Host Immunity

Eric Alves et al.

Summary: The NKG2D receptor-ligand axis is essential for detecting cellular distress, damage, or transformation, with functional NKG2D ligands associated with tumor rejection and viral clearance. Many viruses and tumors evade NKG2D recognition, but CRISPR technology offers novel therapeutic opportunities to enhance and maximize NKG2D-mediated immunity.
