The NKG2D cell receptor and its ligands have attracted considerable interest as a potential strategy to attack tumor cells. NKG2D ligands are expressed on most types of tumors, and they demonstrate relative selectivity of ligand expression on tumor cells compared with healthy cells. Several different variants of NKG2D-based chimeric antigen receptors (CAR) have been developed and extensive in vivo mechanistic studies performed demonstrating that cytotoxicity and cytokines are important for the efficacy NKG2D CAR adoptive T cell therapy. NKG2D CARs target tumor cells and they also target immunosuppressive cells within the tumor microenvironment. Under certain conditions, NKG2D ligand expression can be found on non-tumor tissue, so potential off-tumor toxicity remain. In this article, we review the use of NKG2D as a basis for CAR targeting of tumors.
