Activation of the innate immune STimulator of INterferon Genes (STING) pathway potentiates antitumour immunity, but systemic delivery of STING agonists to tumours is challenging. We conjugated STING-activating cyclic dinucleotides (CDNs) to PEGylated lipids (CDN-PEG-lipids; PEG, polyethylene glycol) via a cleavable linker and incorporated them into lipid nanodiscs (LNDs), which are discoid nanoparticles formed by self-assembly. Compared to state-of-the-art liposomes, intravenously administered LNDs carrying CDN-PEG-lipid (LND-CDNs) exhibited more efficient penetration of tumours, exposing the majority of tumour cells to STING agonist. A single dose of LND-CDNs induced rejection of established tumours, coincident with immune memory against tumour rechallenge. Although CDNs were not directly tumoricidal, LND-CDN uptake by cancer cells correlated with robust T-cell activation by promoting CDN and tumour antigen co-localization in dendritic cells. LNDs thus appear promising as a vehicle for robust delivery of compounds throughout solid tumours, which can be exploited for enhanced immunotherapy.
先天免疫干扰素基因刺激物 (STING) 途径的激活增强了抗肿瘤免疫,但将 STING 激动剂全身递送至肿瘤具有挑战性。我们通过可裂解接头将 STING 激活的环二核苷酸 (CDN) 缀合到聚乙二醇化脂质 (CDN-PEG-脂质;PEG,聚乙二醇) 上,并将其纳入脂质纳米盘 (LND) 中,LND 是由自组装形成的盘状纳米颗粒。与最先进的脂质体相比,静脉内给予携带 CDN-PEG-脂质的 LND (LND-CDNs) 可更有效地穿透肿瘤,使大多数肿瘤细胞暴露于 STING 激动剂下。单次给予 LND-CDN 可引发已建立的肿瘤排斥反应,同时对肿瘤再挑战产生免疫记忆。尽管 CDN 本身不是直接的杀肿瘤剂,但 LND-CDN 被癌细胞摄取与通过促进 CDN 和肿瘤抗原在树突状细胞中的共定位来强烈激活 T 细胞相关。因此,LND 似乎很有前途,可以作为一种载体,将化合物有效地递送至整个实体瘤中,从而可以用于增强免疫治疗。
