The establishment of effective antitumor immune responses of vaccines is mainly limited by insufficient priming tumor infiltration of T cells and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Targeting β-adrenergic receptor (β-AR) signaling exerts promising benefits on reversing the suppressive effects directly on T cells, but it appears to have considerably limited antitumor performance when combined with vaccine-based immunotherapies. Herein, a tumor membrane-coated nanoplatform for codelivery of adjuvant CpG and propranolol (Pro), a β-AR inhibitor is designed. The biomimetic nanovaccine displayed an improved accumulation in lymph nodes and sufficient drug release, thereby inducing dendritic cell maturation and antigen presentation. Meanwhile, the integration of vaccination and blockade of β-AR signaling not only promoted the priming of the naive CD8+ T cells and effector T cell egress from lymph nodes, but also alleviated the immunosuppressive TME by decreasing the frequency of immunosuppressive cells and increasing the tumor infiltration of B cells and NK cells. Consequently, the biomimetic nanovaccines outperformed greater prophylactic and therapeutic efficacy than nanovaccines without Pro encapsulation in B16-F10 melanoma mice. Taken together, the work explored a biomimetic nanovaccine for priming tumor infiltration of T cells and immunosuppressive TME regulation, offering tremendous potential for a combined β-AR signaling-targeting strategy in cancer immunotherapy.
疫苗有效抗肿瘤免疫反应的建立主要受到T细胞初始肿瘤浸润不足和免疫抑制性肿瘤微环境(TME)的限制。靶向β-肾上腺素能受体(β-AR)信号传导在直接逆转对T细胞的抑制作用方面具有显著益处,但与基于疫苗的免疫疗法联合使用时,其抗肿瘤性能似乎相当有限。在此,设计了一种用于共递送佐剂CpG和β-AR抑制剂普萘洛尔(Pro)的肿瘤膜包被纳米平台。这种仿生纳米疫苗在淋巴结中表现出更好的积聚和充分的药物释放,从而诱导树突状细胞成熟和抗原呈递。同时,疫苗接种与β-AR信号传导阻断的整合不仅促进了初始CD8+T细胞的活化和效应T细胞从淋巴结的迁出,还通过降低免疫抑制细胞的频率和增加B细胞和NK细胞的肿瘤浸润来减轻免疫抑制性TME。因此,在B16-F10黑色素瘤小鼠中,仿生纳米疫苗比未包封Pro的纳米疫苗具有更好的预防和治疗效果。综上所述,该研究探索了一种用于引发T细胞肿瘤浸润和调节免疫抑制性TME的仿生纳米疫苗,为癌症免疫治疗中联合靶向β-AR信号传导策略提供了巨大潜力。
