As the key stromal cells that mediate the desmoplastic reaction, tumor-associated fibroblasts (TAFs) play a critical role in the limited nanoparticle penetration and suppressive immune tumor microenvironment. Herein, we found that salvianolic acid B-loaded PEGylated liposomes (PEG-SAB-Lip) can interfere with the activation of TAFs by inhibiting the secretion of TGF-β1. After inhibiting the activation of TAFs, collagen deposition in tumors was reduced, and the penetration of nanoparticles in tumors was enhanced. The results of RT-qPCR and immunofluorescence staining showed the high expression of Th1 cytokines and chemokines (CXCL9 and CXCL10) and the recruitment of CD4, CD8 T cells, and M1 macrophages in the tumor area. At the same time, the low expression of Th2 cytokine and chemokine CXCL13, as well as the decrease of MDSCs, Tregs, and M2 macrophages were also observed in the tumor area. These results were related to the inactivation of TAFs. The combined treatment of PEG-SAB-Lip and docetaxel-loaded PEG-modified liposomes (PEG-DTX-Lip) can significantly inhibit tumor growth. Moreover, PEG-SAB-Lip further inhibited tumor metastasis to the lung. Therefore, our results showed that PEG-SAB-Lip can remodel the tumor microenvironment and improve the efficacy of nanoparticles.
作为介导促结缔组织反应的关键基质细胞,肿瘤相关成纤维细胞(TAFs)在纳米颗粒有限渗透和抑制性免疫肿瘤微环境中发挥着关键作用。在此,我们发现丹酚酸 B 载 PEG 化脂质体(PEG-SAB-Lip)可通过抑制 TGF-β1 的分泌来干扰 TAF 的激活。抑制 TAF 的激活后,肿瘤中的胶原沉积减少,纳米颗粒在肿瘤中的渗透增强。RT-qPCR 和免疫荧光染色结果显示肿瘤区域中 Th1 细胞因子和趋化因子(CXCL9 和 CXCL10)的高表达以及 CD4、CD8 T 细胞和 M1 巨噬细胞的募集。同时,肿瘤区域中还观察到 Th2 细胞因子和趋化因子 CXCL13 的低表达以及 MDSCs、Tregs 和 M2 巨噬细胞的减少,这些结果与 TAFs 的失活有关。PEG-SAB-Lip 和载多西紫杉醇的 PEG 修饰脂质体(PEG-DTX-Lip)的联合治疗可显著抑制肿瘤生长。此外,PEG-SAB-Lip 进一步抑制了肿瘤向肺部的转移。因此,我们的研究结果表明,PEG-SAB-Lip 可重塑肿瘤微环境并提高纳米颗粒的疗效。
