The cancer-immune cycle conceptualized the mechanisms of driving T cell responses to tumors, but w as limited by immunological ignorance elicited by tumor inherent immunoediting, which failed to initiate and maintain adaptive immunity. Targeting specific vulnerabilities of cell death patterns may provide unique opportunities to boost T cell antitumor immunological effects. Here an ultrasound nanomedicine-triggered tumor immuno-reediting therapeutic strategy using nano/genetically engineered extracellular vesicles, which can induce tumor highly immunogenic PANoptosis and iteratively start-up the energization of cancer innate immunity cycle by repeatedly liberating damage-associated molecular patterns, thereby priming sufficient antigen-specific T cells and shaping protective immune response through activating cGAS-STING signaling pathways, is reported. Aided by immune checkpoint blockade, the reprogramming of immune microenvironment further facilitated a prompt bridging of innate and adaptive immunity, and remarkably suppressed metastatic and rechallenged tumor growth. Thus, targeting PANoptotic cell death provides a catcher against immune escape and a positive-feedback immune activation gateway for overcoming immune resistance to intractable cancers.
癌症免疫周期概念化了驱动 T 细胞对肿瘤产生反应的机制,但受到肿瘤固有免疫编辑引起的免疫忽视的限制,这种免疫忽视无法启动和维持适应性免疫。针对细胞死亡模式的特定弱点可能为增强 T 细胞抗肿瘤免疫作用提供独特的机会。在这里,我们报告了一种使用纳米/基因工程细胞外囊泡的超声纳米医学触发肿瘤免疫再编辑治疗策略,该策略可以诱导肿瘤高度免疫原性的 PANoptosis,并通过反复释放损伤相关分子模式,反复启动癌症先天免疫周期的能量,从而通过激活 cGAS-STING 信号通路来启动足够的抗原特异性 T 细胞,并通过激活 cGAS-STING 信号通路来塑造保护性免疫反应。在免疫检查点阻断的辅助下,免疫微环境的重新编程进一步促进了先天免疫和适应性免疫的迅速桥接,并显著抑制了转移性和再挑战肿瘤的生长。因此,靶向 PANoptotic 细胞死亡为克服对难治性癌症的免疫抵抗提供了一个免疫逃逸的捕捉器和一个正反馈免疫激活的门户。
