Chimeric antigen receptor natural killer (CAR-NK) cells have been found to be successful in treating hematologic malignancies and present potential for usage in solid tumors. Methods In this study, we created CD276-targeted CAR-expressing NK cells from pluripotent stem cells (iPSC CD276-targeted CAR-NK cells) and evaluated their cytotoxicity against esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) using patient-specific organoid (PSO) models comprising of both CD276-positive and CD276-negative adjacent epithelium PSO models (normal control PSO, NC PSO) as well as primary culture of ESCC cell models. In addition, in vitro and in vivo models such as KYSE-150 were also examined. iPSC NK cells and NK-free media were used as the CAR-free and NK-free controls, respectively. Results The positive CD276 staining was specifically detected on the ESCC membrane in 51.43% (54/105) of the patients of all stages, and in 51.35% (38/74) of stages III and IV. The iPS CD276-targeted CAR-NK cells, comparing with the iPS NK cells and the NK-free medium, exhibited specific and significant cytotoxic activity against CD276-positive ESCC PSO rather than CD276-negative NC PSO, and exhibited significant cytotoxicity against CD276-expressing cultured ESCC cells, as well as against CD276-expressing KYSE-150 in vitro and in BNDG mouse xenograft. Discussion The efficacy of the iPSC CD276-targeted CAR-NK cells demonstrated by their successful treatment of CD276-expressing ESCC in a multitude of pre-clinical models implied that they hold tremendous therapeutic potential for treating patients with CD276-expressing ESCC.
