Although NK cells are universal killers in the body\u2019s immune response against certain viruses or tumors, they lack specificity against SARS-CoV-2. Studies have revealed that COVID-19 patients have significantly decreased numbers of NK cells. However, in this study, City of Hope researchers show that genetically modifying the NK cells with a chimeric antigen receptor or CAR that specifically \u201csees\u201d the SARS-CoV-2 virus improves survival in animals infected with the virus.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe preclinical research study was led by Caligiuri and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cityofhope.org%2Fjianhua-yu&amp;esheet=52726181&amp;newsitemid=20220520005419&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Jianhua+Yu&amp;index=3&amp;md5=3b8657e82cfb3721ab65c92569d77dc1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" shape=\"rect\">Jianhua Yu<\/a>, Ph.D., City of Hope professor and director of the Natural Killer Cell Biology Research Program. Together, they have nearly 55 years of collective laboratory investigation of NK cells.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cSadly, more than 1 million Americans have died from COVID-19. Therefore, more effective therapies are still needed,\u201d Yu said. \u201cCellular immunotherapies for COVID-19 patients have not been approved yet, but they could be beneficial because they harness existing immunity to fight disease.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFor the study, the team isolated NK cells from umbilical cord blood and used them to manufacture CAR-NK cells. These cells were then engineered to express ACE2 receptors, a protein that the virus sees and attaches to in order to enter a cell. The CAR-NK cells use this ACE2 receptor to attach to the spike protein of SARS-CoV2, and then unleash their attack on the virus.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nTo prolong the survival of the NK cells, which typically have a short lifespan, the research team also engineered the CAR-NK cells to release IL-15, an immune hormone that can prolong NK cell survival in the body.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nNext, the team administered the engineered NK cells to humanized mice infected with live SARS-CoV-2. The results showed a reduced viral load and prolonged survival in the animal models. The team also tested the same cells after cryopreserving, or freezing, them and found that they retained their activity. This finding, along with the global abundance of public umbilical cord blood banks for sourcing donor NK cells, would make the therapy more viable as an off-the-shelf therapy for COVID-19 patients.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cOur human CAR-NK cell product proved successful against COVID-19 in preclinical research,\u201d Yu said. \u201cFurthermore, this novel, ready-to-use immunotherapeutic approach for treating SARS-CoV-2 infection could possibly be used against future SARS outbreaks and other spike-expressing viruses.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nStill, there is much work to be done to ensure that the treatment is safe, well-tolerated and effective in humans, although now over 30 patients have received genetically modified NK cells for the treatment of cancer without serious, life-threatening side effects, Caligiuri noted. The research team hope to gain clearance to use their CAR-NK cell product in moderate to high-risk patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 in the near future.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<b>About City of Hope<\/b>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nCity of Hope&#8217;s mission is to deliver the cures of tomorrow to the people who need them today.
