Targeting the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway is a promising strategy to overcome primary resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors in non-small cell lung cancer with the STK11 mutation. We previously found metformin enhances the STING pathway and thus promotes immune response. However, its low concentration in tumors limits its clinical use. Here, we constructed high-mesoporous Mn-based nanocarrier loading metformin nanoparticles (Mn-MSN@Met-M NPs) that actively target tumors and respond to release higher concentration of Mn ions and metformin. The NPs significantly enhanced the T cells to kill lung cancer cells with the STK11 mutant. The mechanism shows that enhanced STING pathway activation promotes STING, TBKI, and IRF3 phosphorylation through Mn ions and metformin release from NPs, thus boosting type I interferon production. , NPs in combination with a PD-1 inhibitor effectively decreased tumor growth. Collectively, we developed a Mn-MSN@Met-M nanoactivator to intensify immune activation for potential cancer immunotherapy.
靶向干扰素基因刺激物(STING)通路是克服STK11突变的非小细胞肺癌对免疫检查点抑制剂原发性耐药的一种有前景的策略。我们之前发现二甲双胍可增强STING通路,从而促进免疫反应。然而,其在肿瘤中的低浓度限制了其临床应用。在此,我们构建了负载二甲双胍纳米颗粒的高介孔锰基纳米载体(Mn-MSN@Met-M NPs),其可主动靶向肿瘤并响应释放更高浓度的锰离子和二甲双胍。这些纳米颗粒显著增强了T细胞对携带STK11突变的肺癌细胞的杀伤作用。机制表明,增强的STING通路激活通过纳米颗粒释放的锰离子和二甲双胍促进STING、TBKI和IRF3磷酸化,从而促进I型干扰素的产生。此外,纳米颗粒与PD-1抑制剂联合使用可有效抑制肿瘤生长。总体而言,我们开发了一种Mn-MSN@Met-M纳米激活剂以增强免疫激活,用于潜在的癌症免疫治疗。
