Compared with the traditional single therapy, nanomedicine has promoted a multimodal combination treatment for various carcinomas, especially the development of corresponding intelligent multifunctional biomaterials based on advanced DNA nanotechnology has great potential in cancer combination therapy. Herein, we describe a strategy to "backpack" aptamer PL1, which specifically binds to PD-L1 and siRNA on well-defined DNA tetrahedral nanoparticles (TDNs) via DNA hybridization, which collectively contributes to the effective therapy for colorectal cancer (CRC). In addition, we designed a targeted TDN upon folic acid (FA) recognition, limiting its release to the sites of tumors where folic acid receptor (FAR) is encountered. Our results demonstrated that the TDN-FA/PL1/-siRNA could free immune cells to target CRC cells and attenuate 83.48% tumor growth in mouse models of CT26 CRC. Mechanically, the cancer-targeting FA guided TDN-FA/PL1/-siRNA into tumor cells, thereby ensuring that the aptamer PL1 could choke the mutual effects between PD-1 and PD-L1, followed by a 1.69-fold increase in T cell number and a 1.9-fold suppression of T cell activity by the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway, while siRNA decreased expression averagely to the extent of 65.13% and then facilitated intratumoral infiltration of cytotoxic T cells robustly with IFN-γ and Granzyme B expression. Our results reveal that the multifunctional TND-FA/PL1/-siRNA is effective and safe for CRC therapy, thereby expanding the application of DNA nanotechnology for innovative therapies of various cancers.
与传统的单一疗法相比,纳米医学促进了多种癌症的多模式联合治疗,特别是基于先进 DNA 纳米技术的相应智能多功能生物材料的发展,在癌症联合治疗中具有巨大潜力。在此,我们描述了一种策略,即将特异性结合 PD-L1 的适体 PL1“背包”到通过 DNA 杂交牢固结合于 DNA 四面体纳米粒子(TDN)上的 siRNA,共同为结直肠癌(CRC)的有效治疗做出贡献。此外,我们设计了一种靶向 TDN,当它识别叶酸(FA)时,限制其在遇到叶酸受体(FAR)的肿瘤部位释放。我们的结果表明,TDN-FA/PL1/-siRNA 可以释放免疫细胞以靶向 CRC 细胞,并在 CT26 CRC 小鼠模型中减轻 83.48%的肿瘤生长。从机制上讲,靶向癌症的 FA 引导 TDN-FA/PL1/-siRNA 进入肿瘤细胞,从而确保适体 PL1 可以阻断 PD-1 和 PD-L1 之间的相互作用,随后 T 细胞数量增加 1.69 倍,PD-1/PD-L1 通路的 T 细胞活性降低 1.9 倍,而 siRNA 使表达平均降低 65.13%,然后通过 IFN-γ 和 Granzyme B 的表达强力促进细胞毒性 T 细胞在肿瘤内的浸润。我们的结果表明,多功能 TDN-FA/PL1/-siRNA 对 CRC 治疗有效且安全,从而扩展了 DNA 纳米技术在各种癌症创新疗法中的应用。
