Cancer vaccines are viewed as a promising immunotherapy to eradicate malignant tumors and aim to elicit the patients' own tumor-specific immune response against tumor cells. However, few cancer vaccines have been applied due to the low immunogenicity of antigen and invalidation of adjuvant. Herein, we designed a tumor microenvironment (TME) responsive MnO-melittin nanoparticles (M-M NPs). The M-M NPs consumed glutathione and produced •OH via Fenton-like reaction in the mimic TME, specifically caused tumor cell death in vitro, activated cGAS-STING pathway in vitro and promoted the maturation of antigen-presenting cells in vitro and in vivo to elicit systemic anti-tumor immune response including the augmentation of tumor-specific T cells and more productions of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, which all were stronger than MnO NPs and melittin. The anti-tumor effects of M-M NPs were evaluated in three subcutaneous tumor models and the B16-F10 lung metastasis model and the tumor growth and lung metastasis were more obviously inhibited in the M-M NPs treated mice, compared with MnO NPs and melittin treatments. More importantly, only M-M NPs promoted the MHC-I cross-dressing by dendritic cells to prime tumor-specific CD8 T cells and remarkably suppressed the growth of left tumors if express cognate antigen while treating on the right in the bilateral tumor model. Our findings proposed a strategy to enhance the cancer vaccine efficiency which showed great therapeutic effect on tumor immunotherapy.
癌症疫苗被视为一种有前途的免疫疗法,可以根除恶性肿瘤,并旨在引发患者自身针对肿瘤细胞的肿瘤特异性免疫反应。然而,由于抗原的低免疫原性和佐剂的失效,很少有癌症疫苗得到应用。在此,我们设计了一种肿瘤微环境(TME)响应性 MnO-蜂毒素纳米颗粒(M-M NPs)。M-M NPs 在模拟的 TME 中通过芬顿样反应消耗谷胱甘肽并产生 •OH,特异性地导致体外肿瘤细胞死亡,体外和体内激活 cGAS-STING 途径,并促进抗原呈递细胞的成熟,从而引发全身性抗肿瘤免疫反应,包括增强肿瘤特异性 T 细胞和更多产生促炎细胞因子和趋化因子,其均强于 MnO NPs 和蜂毒素。在三种皮下肿瘤模型和 B16-F10 肺转移模型中评估了 M-M NPs 的抗肿瘤作用,与 MnO NPs 和蜂毒素治疗相比,M-M NPs 处理的小鼠中的肿瘤生长和肺转移得到了更明显的抑制。更重要的是,只有 M-M NPs 促进树突状细胞的 MHC-I 交叉呈递以启动肿瘤特异性 CD8 T 细胞,并且在双侧肿瘤模型中,如果右肿瘤表达同源抗原,治疗左肿瘤时,显著抑制其生长。我们的研究结果提出了一种增强癌症疫苗效率的策略,该策略对肿瘤免疫治疗显示出了很好的治疗效果。
