Herein, we integrate the Hepa1-6 liver cancer-specific neoantigen, toll-like receptor 9 agonist and stimulator of interferon genes agonist by silk-hydrogel package, and combine with TIM-3 blockade to elicit robust antitumor immunity for effectively suppressing orthotopic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression. Unlike intradermal injection of simple mixed components with short-term immune protection, the neoantigen immunotherapeutic-gels evoke long-term immune protection to achieve significant prophylactic and therapeutic activity against HCC through only one-shot administration without any side effects. Notably, the synergized immunotherapy by further combining NGC-gels with TIM-3 antibody significantly reduces regulatory T-cells and increases the IFN-γ and IL-12p70 levels in tumor tissues for promoting the infiltration of IFN-γ+CD8+T-cells and 41BB+CD8+T-cells to achieve complete remission (4/7) and prevent pulmonary metastasis in orthotopic HCC, and establish long-term memory against tumor rechallenge with remarkably longer survival time (180 days). Overall, this study provides an attractive and promising synergistic strategy for HCC immunotherapy with possible clinical translation prospects.
在此,我们通过丝素水凝胶包载肝癌特异性新抗原、Toll 样受体 9 激动剂和干扰素基因刺激剂,并结合 TIM-3 阻断,引发强烈的抗肿瘤免疫,有效抑制原位肝癌(HCC)的进展。与单纯混合成分的皮内注射相比,新抗原免疫治疗凝胶通过单次给药即可引发长期免疫保护,从而对 HCC 具有显著的预防和治疗活性,且无任何副作用。值得注意的是,通过进一步将 NGC-凝胶与 TIM-3 抗体联合使用,协同免疫治疗可显著减少调节性 T 细胞,并增加肿瘤组织中 IFN-γ 和 IL-12p70 的水平,从而促进 IFN-γ+CD8+T 细胞和 41BB+CD8+T 细胞的浸润,实现完全缓解(4/7)和预防原位 HCC 的肺转移,并建立针对肿瘤再挑战的长期记忆,显著延长生存时间(180 天)。总体而言,该研究为 HCC 免疫治疗提供了一种有吸引力和有前景的协同策略,具有潜在的临床转化前景。
