Background/aim: Natural killer (NK) cells are considered potential antitumor effector cells. The aim of this study was to establish a novel type of a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) NK cell line (CAR-KHYG-1) specific for epidermal growth factor receptor variant III (EGFRvIII)-expressing tumors and investigate the anti-tumor activity of EGFRvIII-specific-CAR-KHYG-1 (EvCAR-KHYG-1).
Materials And Methods: EvCAR-KHYG-1 was established by self-inactivated lentiviral-based transduction of the EvCAR gene and magnetic bead-based purification of EvCAR-expressing NK cells. The anti-tumor effects of EvCAR-KHYG-1 were evaluated using growth inhibition and apoptosis detection assays in glioblastoma (GBM) cell lines (EGFRvIII-expressing and non-expressing U87MG).
Results: The findings demonstrated that EvCAR-KHYG-1 inhibited GBM cell-growth via apoptosis in an EGFRvIII-expressing specific manner.
Conclusion: This is the first study to establish a CAR NK cell line based on the human NK cell line KHYG-1. Therapy with EvCAR-KHYG-1 may be an effective treatment option for GBM patients.

Impact of breastfeeding and formula feeding on immune cell populations and blood cell parameters: an observational study.

Objective: Breastfeeding is associated with improved health outcomes in infancy and throughout adulthood as breast milk encompasses diverse immune-active factors that affect the ontogeny of the immune system in breastfed (BF) infants. Nevertheless, the impact of infant feeding on the immune system is poorly understood, and a comprehensive understanding of immune system development in human infants is lacking. In this observational study, we addressed the effects of different infant feeding approaches on cell populations and parameters in the peripheral blood of infants to gain insight into the innate and adaptive arms of the immune system.

Patient-derived organoids represent a novel platform to recapitulate the cancer cells in the patient tissue. While cancer heterogeneity has been extensively studied by a number of omics approaches, little is known about the spatiotemporal kinase activity dynamics. Here we applied a live imaging approach to organoids derived from 10 pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients to comprehensively understand their heterogeneous growth potential and drug responses.

Increased telomerase activity has been considered as a conspicuous sign of human cancers. The catalytic cores of telomerase involve a reverse transcriptase and the human telomerase RNA (hTR). However, current detection of telomerase is largely limited to its activity at the tissue and single-cell levels.

Background: Neuroblastoma (NB), the most prevalent solid tumor in children, arises from sympathetic nervous system and accounts for 15% of pediatric cancer mortality. This malignancy exhibits substantial genetic and clinical heterogeneity, thus complicating treatment strategies. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1), a key enzyme catalyzing polyADP-ribosylation (PARylation), plays critical roles in various cellular processes, and contributes to tumorigenesis and aggressiveness.
