Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has shown remarkable therapeutic efficacy in a variety of cancers. However, patients exhibit unexpectedly low response rates to ICB therapy owing to the unwanted recycling and cellular abundance of PD-L1. Herein, rational design of PD-L1 multivalent binding liposome is investigated through PEGylated liposomes incorporating different ratios of PD-L1 binding peptide. Liposomes incorporating 10 mol% PD-L1 binding peptides (10-PD-L1-Lipo) promote the multivalent binding with PD-L1 on tumor cell surface, which is endocytosed for its trafficking toward the lysosomes instead of the recycling endosomes. Thereby, 10-PD-L1-Lipo leads to a significant PD-L1 degradation that prevents its recycling and cellular abundance compared to anti-PD-L1 antibody, disrupting immune escape mechanism of tumor cells and enhancing T cell-mediated antitumor immunity. Moreover, a clinically applicable doxorubicin (DOX) liposomal formulation is established via drug encapsulation into 10-PD-L1-Lipo. The resulting DOX-PD-L1-Lipo primes tumors via immunogenic chemotherapy by preferential DOX accumulation by the EPR effect and overcomes PD-L1 abundance induced following chemotherapy through multivalent binding-mediated PD-L1 degradation. As a result, the synergistic immunogenic chemotherapy and multivalent binding-mediated PD-L1 degradation by DOX-PD-L1-Lipo show significantly enhanced antitumor efficacy and immune responses in colon tumor models. Collectively, this study suggests the rationally designed PEGylated liposomes to promote PD-L1 multivalent binding providing a new route for safe and more effective ICB therapy.
免疫检查点阻断(ICB)在多种癌症中显示出显著的治疗效果。然而,由于 PD-L1 的不必要回收和细胞丰度,患者对 ICB 治疗的反应率出乎意料地低。在此,通过聚乙二醇化脂质体掺入不同比例的 PD-L1 结合肽来研究 PD-L1 多价结合脂质体的合理设计。掺入 10 mol% PD-L1 结合肽的脂质体(10-PD-L1-Lipo)促进与肿瘤细胞表面 PD-L1 的多价结合,该结合肽被内吞作用,使其向溶酶体而不是再循环内体转运。因此,与抗 PD-L1 抗体相比,10-PD-L1-Lipo 导致 PD-L1 的显著降解,从而阻止其回收和细胞丰度,破坏肿瘤细胞的免疫逃逸机制,并增强 T 细胞介导的抗肿瘤免疫。此外,通过将药物包封到 10-PD-L1-Lipo 中,建立了一种临床适用的多柔比星(DOX)脂质体制剂。由此产生的 DOX-PD-L1-Lipo 通过免疫化学疗法通过 EPR 效应优先使肿瘤蓄积 DOX 并通过多价结合介导的 PD-L1 降解克服化疗后 PD-L1 丰度的增加来启动肿瘤。结果,DOX-PD-L1-Lipo 的协同免疫化学疗法和多价结合介导的 PD-L1 降解在结肠肿瘤模型中显示出显著增强的抗肿瘤疗效和免疫反应。总之,这项研究表明,合理设计的聚乙二醇化脂质体可促进 PD-L1 的多价结合,为安全有效的 ICB 治疗提供了新途径。
