Natural killer (NK) cells are frontline defenders against cancer and are capable of recognizing and eliminating tumor cells without prior sensitization or antigen presentation. Due to their unique HLA mismatch tolerance, they are ideal for adoptive cell therapy (ACT) because of their ability to minimize graft-versus-host-disease risk. The therapeutic efficacy of NK cells is limited in part by inhibitory immune checkpoint receptors, which are upregulated upon interaction with cancer cells and the tumor microenvironment. Overexpression of inhibitory receptors reduces NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity by impairing the ability of NK cells to secrete effector cytokines and cytotoxic granules. T-cell immunoreceptor with immunoglobulin and ITIM domains (TIGIT), a well-known checkpoint receptor involved in T-cell exhaustion, has recently been implicated in the exhaustion of NK cells. Overcoming TIGIT-mediated inhibition of NK cells may allow for a more potent antitumor response following ACT. Here, we describe a novel approach to TIGIT inhibition using self-delivering RNAi compounds (INTASYL™) that incorporates the features of RNAi and antisense technology. INTASYL compounds demonstrate potent activity and stability, are rapidly and efficiently taken up by cells, and can be easily incorporated into cell product manufacturing. INTASYL PH-804, which targets TIGIT, suppresses TIGIT mRNA and protein expression in NK cells, resulting in increased cytotoxic capacity and enhanced tumor cell killing in vitro. Delivering PH-804 to NK cells before ACT has emerged as a promising strategy to counter TIGIT inhibition, thereby improving the antitumor response. This approach offers the potential for more potent off-the-shelf products for adoptive cell therapy, particularly for hematological malignancies.
