The current immunotherapy strategies for triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) are greatly limited due to the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Immunization with cancer vaccines composed of tumor cell lysates (TCL) can induce an effective antitumor immune response. However, this approach also has the disadvantages of inefficient antigen delivery to the tumor tissues and the limited immune response elicited by single-antigen vaccines. To overcome these limitations, a pH-sensitive nanocalcium carbonate (CaCO ) carrier loaded with TCL and immune adjuvant CpG (CpG oligodeoxynucleotide 1826) is herein constructed for TNBC immunotherapy. This tailor-made nanovaccine, termed CaCO @TCL/CpG, not only neutralizes the acidic TME through the consumption of lactate by CaCO , which increases the proportion of the M1/M2 macrophages and promotes infiltration of effector immune cells but also activates the dendritic cells in the tumor tissues and recruits cytotoxic T cells to further kill the tumor cells. In vivo fluorescence imaging study shows that the pegylated nanovaccine could stay longer in the blood circulation and extravasate preferentially into tumor site. Besides, the nanovaccine exhibits high cytotoxicity in 4T1 cells and significantly inhibits tumor growth of tumor-bearing mice. Overall, this pH-sensitive nanovaccine is a promising nanoplatform for enhanced immunotherapy of TNBC.
由于三阴性乳腺癌(TNBC)的免疫抑制肿瘤微环境(TME),当前的免疫疗法策略受到了极大限制。用肿瘤细胞裂解物(TCL)组成的癌症疫苗免疫可以诱导有效的抗肿瘤免疫反应。然而,这种方法也有向肿瘤组织输送抗原效率低下和单抗原疫苗引发的免疫反应有限的缺点。为了克服这些限制,本文构建了一种载有 TCL 和免疫佐剂 CpG(CpG 寡脱氧核苷酸 1826)的 pH 敏感纳米碳酸钙(CaCO )载体,用于 TNBC 的免疫治疗。这种定制的纳米疫苗被称为 CaCO @TCL/CpG,不仅通过 CaCO 消耗乳酸来中和酸性 TME,增加 M1/M2 巨噬细胞的比例,并促进效应免疫细胞的浸润,而且还能激活肿瘤组织中的树突状细胞并募集细胞毒性 T 细胞来进一步杀死肿瘤细胞。体内荧光成像研究表明,聚乙二醇化的纳米疫苗可以在血液循环中停留更长时间,并优先渗出到肿瘤部位。此外,该纳米疫苗在 4T1 细胞中表现出高细胞毒性,并显著抑制荷瘤小鼠的肿瘤生长。总的来说,这种 pH 敏感的纳米疫苗是增强 TNBC 免疫治疗的有前途的纳米平台。
