Gut bacteria and their metabolites influence the immune microenvironment of liver through the gut-liver axis, thus representing emerging therapeutic targets for liver cancer therapy. However, directly manipulating gut microbiota or their metabolites is not practical in clinic since the safety concerns and the complicated mechanism of action. Considering the dysregulated bile acid profiles associated with liver cancer, here we propose a strategy that directly manipulates the primary and secondary bile acid receptors through nanoapproach as an alternative and more precise way for liver cancer therapy. We show that nanodelivery of bile acid receptor modulators elicited robust antitumor immune responses and significantly changed the immune microenvironment in the murine hepatic tumor. In addition, stimulation on both murine and patient hepatic tumor tissues suggests the observation here may be meaningful for clinical practice. This study elucidates a novel and precise strategy for liver cancer immunotherapy.
肠道细菌及其代谢物通过肠肝轴影响肝脏的免疫微环境,因此代表了肝癌治疗的新兴治疗靶点。然而,由于安全性问题和复杂的作用机制,直接操纵肠道菌群或其代谢物在临床上并不实用。考虑到与肝癌相关的胆汁酸谱失调,我们在这里提出了一种通过纳米技术直接操纵初级和次级胆汁酸受体的策略,作为肝癌治疗的一种替代方法和更精确的方法。我们表明,胆汁酸受体调节剂的纳米传递引发了强烈的抗肿瘤免疫反应,并显著改变了小鼠肝肿瘤中的免疫微环境。此外,对小鼠和患者肝肿瘤组织的刺激表明,这里的观察结果可能对临床实践具有重要意义。这项研究阐明了肝癌免疫治疗的一种新的精确策略。
