Recent advances in tumor immunotherapy mainly tend to remodel the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) for immune enhancement. However, the complexity of TME makes it unlikely to achieve satisfactory therapeutic effects with any single intervention alone. Here, we focus on exposing intrinsic features of tumor cells to trigger direct pleiotropic antitumor immunity. We develop a photosensitive nanointerferer that is engineered with a nanoscale metal-organic framework decorated with tumor cell membranes for targeted delivery of a photosensitizer and small interfering RNA, which is used to knock down cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (Cdk4). Cdk4 blockade can arrest the cell cycle of tumor cells to facilitate antigen exposure and increase the expression level of programmed cell death protein ligand 1 (PD-L1). Under laser irradiation, photodynamic damage triggered by the nanointerferer induces the release of tumor antigens and recruitment of dendritic cells (DCs), thereby promoting the antitumor activity of CD8 T cells in combination with anti-PD-L1 antibodies. Ultimately, these events markedly retard tumor progression in a mouse model of ectopic colon tumor with negligible adverse effects. This study provides an alternative treatment for effective antitumor immunity by exciting the intrinsic potential of tumor cells to initiate immune responses while reducing immune-related toxicities.
肿瘤免疫治疗的最新进展主要倾向于重塑免疫抑制性肿瘤微环境(TME)以增强免疫。然而,TME 的复杂性使得任何单一干预都不太可能获得满意的治疗效果。在这里,我们专注于揭示肿瘤细胞的内在特征,以触发直接的多效抗肿瘤免疫。我们开发了一种光敏感的纳米干扰物,它由纳米级的金属有机框架组成,表面装饰有肿瘤细胞膜,用于靶向递送电敏剂和小干扰 RNA,以敲低细胞周期蛋白依赖性激酶 4(Cdk4)。Cdk4 阻断可以使肿瘤细胞的细胞周期停滞,从而促进抗原暴露和程序性死亡配体 1(PD-L1)的表达水平增加。在激光照射下,纳米干扰物引发的光动力损伤诱导肿瘤抗原的释放和树突状细胞(DC)的募集,从而促进 CD8 T 细胞的抗肿瘤活性,并与抗 PD-L1 抗体联合使用。最终,这些事件在异位结肠肿瘤的小鼠模型中显著减缓了肿瘤的进展,而没有明显的不良反应。本研究通过激发肿瘤细胞的内在潜力来启动免疫反应,同时减少免疫相关的毒性,为有效的抗肿瘤免疫提供了一种替代治疗方法。
