Objective

To construct CD19-targeted chimeric antigen receptor natural killer (CAR-NK) cells armored with interleukin15 (IL15) or IL15 receptor-linker (RLI) and preliminarily validate their proliferative capacity and anti-tumor activity in vitro.

Methods

Natural killer cells (NK92 and NK92MI) from patients with human malignant non-Hodgkin lymphoma were cultured, and CD19-targeted CAR-NK cells armored with IL15 or RLI were prepared using retroviral vector particles. IL15 secretion was measured by ELISA, and proliferative capacity was assessed via CFSE dilution assays. Human B-lymphocytic leukemia cells (Nalm6-GFP-Luc) and human colon cancer cells overexpressing CD19 (hCD19-SW620-GFP-Luc) were cultured, with surface CD19 expression confirmed (>99% positivity for both). Anti-tumor activity was evaluated by measuring cytotoxicity at effector-to-target (E:T) ratios using luciferase-based assays (4/12 h), detecting surface CD107a expression via flow cytometry, and quantifying cytokine release using CBA assays.

Results

NK92/NK92MI-CD19 CAR cells armored with IL15 or RLI were successfully generated. IL15 secretion was significantly higher in armored groups versus non-armored controls (P<0.01). Without IL-2 stimulation, IL15/RLI enhanced CAR-NK proliferation (P<0.05). Both armored designs significantly increased tumor-killing efficiency (P<0.05) and CD107a degranulation. IL15/RLI-armored NK92-CD19 CAR cells exhibited elevated release of IL2, IL10, IL6, TNF-α, sFas, IFN-γ, and Granulysin (P<0.05), while armored NK92MI-CD19 CAR cells showed additional increases in Granzyme A, Granzyme B, and Perforin (P<0.05).

Conclusion

IL15/RLI-armored NK92/NK92MI-CD19 CAR cells demonstrate potent anti-tumor activity, supporting their combined clinical therapeutic potential for tumors.
