In this study, we focus on investigating the therapeutic effects of camptothesome on treating metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). We elucidate that camptothesome elicited stronger immunogenic cell death (ICD) compared to free camptothecin (CPT) and Onivyde in 4T1 TNBC cells. In addition, camptothesome is mainly internalized by the 4T1 and MDA-MB-231 cells through clathrin-mediated endocytosis based on the results of flow cytometry. Through real-time Lago optical imaging, camptothesome shows excellent tumor-targeting efficiency in orthotopic TNBC tumors. We demonstrate that camptothesome can upregulate programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) in 4T1 tumors in an interferon gamma (IFN-γ)-dependent manner. Furthermore, the anti-TNBC efficacy studies reveal that camptothesome is superior to Onivyde and markedly potentiates PD-L1 immune checkpoint blockade therapy with complete lung metastasis remission in an orthotopic 4T1-Luc2 tumor model. This combination therapy eliciting robust cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) response via boosting tumor-infiltrating cluster of differentiation 8 (CD8), calreticulin (CRT), high mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB-1), low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1), IFN-γ, and granzyme B. Our work corroborates the promise of camptothesome in favorably modulating tumor immune microenvironment via inducing ICD to fortify the PD-L1 checkpoint blockade therapy for improved treatment of intractable TNBC.
在这项研究中,我们专注于研究喜树碱体治疗转移性三阴性乳腺癌(TNBC)的治疗效果。我们阐明,与游离喜树碱(CPT)和 Onivyde 相比,喜树碱体在 4T1 TNBC 细胞中引发更强的免疫原性细胞死亡(ICD)。此外,基于流式细胞术的结果,喜树碱体主要通过网格蛋白介导的内吞作用被 4T1 和 MDA-MB-231 细胞内化。通过实时 Lago 光学成像,喜树碱体在原位 TNBC 肿瘤中表现出优异的肿瘤靶向效率。我们证明喜树碱体可以以干扰素 γ(IFN-γ)依赖性方式上调 4T1 肿瘤中的程序性死亡配体 1(PD-L1)。此外,抗 TNBC 功效研究表明,喜树碱体优于 Onivyde,并在原位 4T1-Luc2 肿瘤模型中完全缓解肺转移方面显著增强 PD-L1 免疫检查点阻断治疗。这种联合治疗通过增强肿瘤浸润性 CD8、钙网蛋白(CRT)、高迁移率族蛋白 B1 蛋白(HMGB-1)、低密度脂蛋白受体相关蛋白 1(LRP1)、IFN-γ 和颗粒酶 B,引发强烈的细胞毒性 T 淋巴细胞(CTL)反应。我们的工作证实了喜树碱体通过诱导 ICD 有利地调节肿瘤免疫微环境的潜力,以增强 PD-L1 检查点阻断治疗,从而改善对难治性 TNBC 的治疗。
