Due to the complicated tumor microenvironment that compromises the efficacies of various therapies, the effective treatment of pancreatic cancer remains a big challenge. Sono-activatable semiconducting polymer nanoreshapers (SPN H) are constructed to multiply remodel tumor microenvironment of orthotopic pancreatic cancer for potent immunotherapy. SPN H contain a semiconducting polymer, hydrogen sulfide (H S) donor, and indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) inhibitor (NLG919), which are encapsulated by singlet oxygen ( O )-responsive shells with modification of hyaluronidase (HAase). After accumulation in orthotopic pancreatic tumor sites, SPN H degrade the major content of tumor microenvironment hyaluronic acid to promote nanoparticle enrichment and immune cell infiltration, and also release H S to relieve tumor hypoxia via inhibiting mitochondrion functions. Moreover, the relieved hypoxia enables amplified sonodynamic therapy (SDT) under ultrasound (US) irradiation with generation of O , which leads to immunogenic cell death (ICD) and destruction of O -responsive components to realize sono-activatable NLG919 release for reversing IDO-based immunosuppression. Through such a multiple remodeling mechanism, a potent antitumor immunological effect is triggered after SPN H-based treatment. Therefore, the growths of orthotopic pancreatic tumors in mouse models are almost inhibited and tumor metastases are effectively restricted. This study offers a sono-activatable nanoplatform to multiply remodel tumor microenvironment for effective and precise immunotherapy of deep-tissue orthotopic tumors.
由于复杂的肿瘤微环境会影响各种疗法的疗效,因此有效治疗胰腺癌仍然是一个巨大的挑战。构建声激活半导体聚合物纳米整形器(SPN H)可多次重塑原位胰腺癌的肿瘤微环境,以进行有效的免疫治疗。SPN H 包含半导体聚合物、硫化氢(H 2 S)供体和吲哚胺 2,3-双加氧酶(IDO)抑制剂(NLG919),它们被单重态氧( 1 O 2 )响应壳包裹,并修饰有透明质酸酶(HAase)。在原位胰腺癌部位积累后,SPN H 降解肿瘤微环境中主要的透明质酸含量,以促进纳米颗粒的富集和免疫细胞的浸润,同时释放 H 2 S 通过抑制线粒体功能来缓解肿瘤缺氧。此外,缓解的缺氧可在超声(US)照射下放大声动力学疗法(SDT),产生 1 O 2 ,导致免疫原性细胞死亡(ICD)和破坏 1 O 2 响应成分,以实现基于 NLG919 的声激活释放,从而逆转基于 IDO 的免疫抑制。通过这种多重重塑机制,在 SPN H 治疗后可引发强烈的抗肿瘤免疫效应。因此,小鼠模型中原位胰腺癌的生长几乎被抑制,肿瘤转移也得到有效限制。本研究提供了一种声激活纳米平台,可多次重塑肿瘤微环境,以实现深部组织原位肿瘤的有效和精确免疫治疗。
