Traditional dendritic cell (DC)-mediated immunotherapy is usually suppressed by weak immunogenicity in tumors and generally leads to unsatisfactory outcomes. Synergistic exogenous/endogenous immunogenic activation can provide an alternative strategy for evoking a robust immune response by promoting DC activation. Herein, Ti C MXene-based nanoplatforms (termed MXP) are prepared with high-efficiency near-infrared photothermal conversion and immunocompetent loading capacity to form endogenous/exogenous nanovaccines. Specifically, the immunogenic cell death of tumor cells induced by the photothermal effects of the MXP can generate endogenous danger signals and antigens release to boost vaccination for DC maturation and antigen cross-presentation. In addition, MXP can deliver model antigen ovalbumin (OVA) and agonists (CpG-ODN) as an exogenous nanovaccine (MXP@OC), which further enhances DC activation. Importantly, the synergistic strategy of photothermal therapy and DC-mediated immunotherapy by MXP significantly eradicates tumors and enhances adaptive immunity. Hence, the present work provides a two-pronged strategy for improving immunogenicity and killing tumor cells to achieve a favorable outcome in tumor patients.
传统的树突状细胞 (DC) 介导的免疫疗法通常受到肿瘤弱免疫原性的抑制,通常导致结果不尽如人意。协同的外源性/内源性免疫原性激活可以通过促进 DC 激活提供一种替代策略来引发强大的免疫反应。在此,基于 Ti C MXene 的纳米平台(称为 MXP)具有高效的近红外光热转换和免疫兼容的载药能力,以形成内源性/外源性纳米疫苗。具体而言,MXP 的光热效应诱导的肿瘤细胞免疫原性细胞死亡可以产生内源性危险信号和抗原释放,以促进 DC 成熟和抗原交叉呈递的疫苗接种。此外,MXP 可以作为外源性纳米疫苗(MXP@OC)递送模型抗原卵清蛋白 (OVA) 和激动剂 (CpG-ODN),进一步增强 DC 激活。重要的是,MXP 通过光热疗法和 DC 介导的免疫疗法的协同策略显著消除肿瘤并增强适应性免疫。因此,本工作提供了一种提高免疫原性和杀伤肿瘤细胞的双管齐下的策略,以实现肿瘤患者的良好疗效。
