Aim: This study aimed to explore using peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC)-derived chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) NK cells targeting ROBO1 as a personalized medicine approach for ovarian cancer. Methods: A two-step strategy generated ROBO1-targeted CAR NK cells from PBMCs of ovarian cancer patients. Efficacy was evaluated using xCELLigence RTCA, CCK-8 and Live/Dead fluorescence assays. Results: ROBO1-NK cells exhibited higher efficiency in eradicating primary ovarian cancer cells and lysing ovarian tumor organoids compared with primary NK cells without ROBO1-CAR modification. Conclusion: These findings highlight the potential of developing ROBO1-targeted CAR-NK cells from patients' PBMCs as a personalized treatment option for ovarian cancer.

AIDS , a serious fatal disease caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), is an epidemic disease for which no effective vaccine has been established. The current therapeutic interventions for AIDS have limited efficacy because they are unable to clear HIV infections and the continuous occurrence of resistant HIV strains. Therefore, the exploitation of new drugs to prevent the spread of AIDS remains a high priority. In this study, the effects of icariin and its metabolite anhydroicaritin on SIV/HIV replication were investigated. In CEM × 174 cells and PBMC cells, both icariin and anhydroicaritin can significantly inhibit HIV-1 or SIVmac251 replication. Furthermore, molecular docking studies revealed that icariin and anhydroicaritin can act on both HIV reverse transcriptase and protease but could not bind to integrase . Reverse transcriptase and protease inhibition biological assays showed that both icariin and anhydroicaritin could significantly inhibit only HIV reverse transcriptase. In summary, the two compounds can significantly inhibit HIV/SIV in vitro and their targets may be mainly involved with HIV reverse transcriptase.
