Advanced liver cancer is the most fatal malignant cancer, and the clinical outcomes of treatment are not very satisfactory due to the complexity and heterogeneity of the tumor. Combination therapy can efficiently enhance tumor treatment by stimulating multiple pathways and regulating the tumor immune microenvironment. Nanodrug delivery systems have become attractive candidates for combined strategies for liver cancer treatment. This study reports a nano ultrasound contrast agent (arsenic trioxide (ATO)/PFH NPs@Au-cRGD) to integrate diagnosis and treatment for efficient ultrasound imaging and liver cancer therapy. This nanodrug delivery system promotes tumor-associated antigens release through ATO-induced ferroptosis and photothermal-induced immunogenic cell death, enhancing the synergistic effects of ATO and photothermal therapy in human Huh7 and mouse Hepa1-6 cells. This drug delivery system successfully activates the antitumor immune response and promotes macrophage M1 polarization in tumor microenvironment with low side effects in subcutaneous and orthotopic liver cancer. Furthermore, tumor metastasis is inhibited and long-term immunological memory is also established in orthotopic liver cancer when the nanodrug delivery system is combined with anti-programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) immunotherapy. This safe nanodrug delivery system can enhance antitumor therapy, inhibit lung metastasis, and achieve visual assessment of therapeutic efficacy, providing substantial potential in clinic applications for liver cancer.
晚期肝癌是最致命的恶性肿瘤,由于肿瘤的复杂性和异质性,治疗的临床效果并不十分理想。联合治疗可以通过刺激多种途径和调节肿瘤免疫微环境来有效地增强肿瘤的治疗效果。纳米药物递送系统已成为肝癌联合治疗的有吸引力的候选者。本研究报告了一种纳米超声造影剂(三氧化二砷(ATO)/PFH NPs@Au-cRGD),用于整合诊断和治疗,以实现高效的超声成像和肝癌治疗。该纳米药物递送系统通过 ATO 诱导的铁死亡和光热诱导的免疫原性细胞死亡促进肿瘤相关抗原的释放,增强了 ATO 和光热治疗在人 Huh7 和小鼠 Hepa1-6 细胞中的协同作用。该药物递送系统在皮下和原位肝癌中成功激活了抗肿瘤免疫反应,并促进了肿瘤微环境中巨噬细胞 M1 极化,副作用低。此外,当纳米药物递送系统与抗程序性死亡配体 1(PD-L1)免疫疗法联合使用时,还可以抑制原位肝癌的肿瘤转移并建立长期的免疫记忆。这种安全的纳米药物递送系统可以增强抗肿瘤治疗效果,抑制肺转移,并实现治疗效果的可视化评估,为肝癌的临床应用提供了巨大的潜力。
