Immunogenic cell death (ICD) of tumor cells serves as a crucial initial signal in the activation of anti-tumor immune responses, holding marked promise in the field of tumor immunotherapy. However, low immunogenicity tumors pose challenges in achieving complete induction of ICD, thereby limiting the response rates of immunotherapy in clinical patients. The emergence of cuproptosis as a new form of regulated cell death has presented a promising strategy for enhanced immunotherapy of low immunogenic tumors. To trigger cuproptosis, copper-ionophore elesclomol (ES) had to be employed for the copper-transporting-mediated process. Herein, we proposed a copper(II)-based metal-organic framework nanoplatform (Cu-MOF) to facilitate a cooperative delivery of encapsulated ES and copper (ES-Cu-MOF) to induce cuproptosis burst and enhance ICD of fibrosarcoma. Our results showed that the ES-Cu-MOF nano-regulator could effectively release Cu and ES in response to the intracellular environment, resulting in elevated mitochondrial ROS generation and initiated cuproptosis of tumor cells. Furthermore, sequential ICDs were significantly triggered via the ES-Cu-MOF nano-regulator to activate the anti-tumor immune response. The results of tumor inhibition experiment indicated that the nano-regulator of ES-Cu-MOF obviously accumulated in the tumor site, inducing ICD for dendritic cell activation. This enabled an increased infiltration of cytotoxic CD8 T cells and consequently enhanced antitumor immune responses for successfully suppressing fibrosarcoma growth. Thus, the copper(II)-based metal-organic framework nano-regulator offered a promising approach for inducing cuproptosis and cuproptosis-stimulated ICD for cancer immunotherapy.
肿瘤细胞的免疫原性细胞死亡(ICD)是激活抗肿瘤免疫反应的关键初始信号,在肿瘤免疫治疗领域具有显著前景。然而,低免疫原性肿瘤在实现ICD的完全诱导方面存在挑战,从而限制了临床患者免疫治疗的应答率。铜死亡作为一种新的程序性细胞死亡形式的出现,为增强低免疫原性肿瘤的免疫治疗提供了一种有前景的策略。为了触发铜死亡,必须使用铜离子载体依斯氯铵(ES)进行铜转运介导的过程。在此,我们提出了一种基于铜(II)的金属有机框架纳米平台(Cu-MOF),以促进包裹的ES和铜的协同递送(ES-Cu-MOF),从而诱导铜死亡爆发并增强纤维肉瘤的ICD。我们的结果表明,ES-Cu-MOF纳米调节剂可响应细胞内环境有效释放铜和ES,导致线粒体ROS生成增加并引发肿瘤细胞的铜死亡。此外,ES-Cu-MOF纳米调节剂可显著触发连续的ICD,以激活抗肿瘤免疫反应。肿瘤抑制实验结果表明,ES-Cu-MOF纳米调节剂明显在肿瘤部位蓄积,诱导ICD以激活树突状细胞。这使得细胞毒性CD8 T细胞的浸润增加,从而增强抗肿瘤免疫反应,成功抑制纤维肉瘤生长。因此,基于铜(II)的金属有机框架纳米调节剂为诱导铜死亡和铜死亡刺激的ICD用于癌症免疫治疗提供了一种有前景的方法。
