Radiotherapy is widely exploited for the treatment of a large range of cancers in clinic, but its therapeutic effectiveness is seriously crippled by the tumor immunosuppression, mainly driven by the altered metabolism of cancer cells. Here, a pH-responsive nanomedicine is prepared by coating calcium carbonate (CaCO ) nanoparticles with 4-phenylimidazole (4PI), an inhibitor against indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO-1), together with zinc ions via the coordination reaction, aiming at reinforcing the treatment outcome of radiotherapy. The obtained pH-responsive nanomedicine, coined as acidity-IDO1-modulation nanoparticles (AIM NPs), is able to instantly neutralize protons, and release 4PI to suppress the IDO1-mediated production of kynurenine (Kyn) upon tumor accumulation. As a result, treatment with AIM NPs can remarkably enhance the therapeutic efficacy of radiotherapy against both murine CT26 and 4T1 tumors by eliciting potent antitumor immunity. Furthermore, it is shown that such combination treatment can effectively suppress the growth of untreated distant tumors via the abscopal effect, and result in immune memory responses to reject rechallenged tumors. This work highlights a novel strategy of simultaneous tumor acidity neutralization and IDO1 inhibition to potentiate radiotherapy, with great promises to suppress tumor metastasis and recurrence by eliciting robust antitumor immunity.
放射疗法在临床上被广泛用于治疗多种癌症,但其治疗效果因肿瘤免疫抑制而严重受损,肿瘤免疫抑制主要由癌细胞代谢改变驱动。在此,通过用4-苯基咪唑(4PI)(一种吲哚胺2,3-双加氧酶1(IDO-1)抑制剂)与锌离子通过配位反应包覆碳酸钙(CaCO₃)纳米颗粒来制备一种pH响应型纳米药物,旨在增强放射治疗的效果。所获得的pH响应型纳米药物,被命名为酸度-IDO1调节纳米颗粒(AIM NPs),能够立即中和质子,并在肿瘤聚集时释放4PI以抑制IDO1介导的犬尿氨酸(Kyn)生成。结果,用AIM NPs治疗可通过引发强大的抗肿瘤免疫力显著提高放射疗法对小鼠CT26和4T1肿瘤的治疗效果。此外,研究表明这种联合治疗可通过远隔效应有效抑制未治疗的远处肿瘤生长,并产生免疫记忆反应以排斥再次挑战的肿瘤。这项工作突出了一种同时中和肿瘤酸度和抑制IDO1以增强放射治疗的新策略,极有希望通过引发强大的抗肿瘤免疫力来抑制肿瘤转移和复发。
