Malignant expansion and rapid metastasis are the main limiting factors to successful treatment of lung cancer. Messenger RNA (mRNA) tumor vaccines are a promising immunotherapeutic treatment for lung cancer as well as other metastatic cancers. Herein, we developed a mPLA/mRNA tumor vaccine (mLPR) to escort mRNA into the cytoplasm and improve immune response with the help of TLR4 agonist mPLA. After nasal administration, the mLPR vaccine stimulated the maturation of dendritic cells, reprogramed M2 macrophages into M1 macrophages, as well cross-activated innate and adaptive immune responses. The mLPR vaccine inhibited the development of lung cancer and reduced bone metastasis by means of immune cell activation, IFN-γ/IL-12 cytokine secretion, and natural killer cell-mediated antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity. The mPLA/mRNA tumor vaccine will provide ideas and application prospects for the use of mRNA tumor vaccine in the treatment of lung cancer. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Lung cancer and bone metastasis seriously affect patient survival, and traditional treatment methods are inefficient and have many side effects. We have constructed an mRNA vaccine that simultaneously activates the innate immune and adaptive responses of the body, in order to achieve better immunotherapeutic effects. To sum up, we confirmed through vaccine design and in vitro and in vivo immunological studies that the mLPR vaccine stimulated the maturation of dendritic cells, reprogrammed M2 macrophages into M1 macrophages, as well cross activated in vivo and adaptive immune responses.
