Manganese ions are known to enhance anti-tumor immunity by activating the cGAS-STING signaling pathway. However, precise modulation of the tumor microenvironment using manganese ions remains a challenge. Dopamine, with its controlled release properties within the tumor microenvironment, offers significant potential for precision drug delivery systems. Metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC), being refractory to conventional treatments, necessitates innovative therapeutic approaches. In this study, a multifunctional manganese-polydopamine nano-immunomodulator coated with hyaluronic acid (PDA-Mn-HA NPs) is developed. These nanoparticles selectively bind to CD44 molecules, which are highly expressed in tumor-associated macrophages and RCC cells, and release manganese ions in a tumor microenvironment-responsive manner. Treatment with PDA-Mn-HA NPs effectively induces macrophage M1 polarization, triggers the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. Transcriptomic analysis reveals that PDA-Mn-HA NPs polarize and activate macrophages through the reactive oxygen species(ROS)-STING-p38/MAPK signaling pathway. Additionally, PDA-Mn-HA NPs induce ROS-caspase-3/GSDME-dependent pyroptosis in RCC cells via a Fenton-like reaction. In RCC mouse models, PDA-Mn-HA NPs remodel the macrophage-mediated immune microenvironment, enhance immune cell infiltration, and significantly suppress tumor growth. In conclusion, multifunctional PDA-Mn-HA NPs demonstrate translational potential by addressing the limitations of precision manganese delivery and achieving synergistic targeting of macrophages and tumor cells, offering a promising therapeutic strategy for RCC.
已知锰离子可通过激活cGAS-STING信号通路增强抗肿瘤免疫力。然而,利用锰离子精确调节肿瘤微环境仍然是一项挑战。多巴胺在肿瘤微环境中具有可控释放特性,为精确给药系统提供了巨大潜力。转移性肾细胞癌(RCC)对传统治疗具有耐药性,需要创新的治疗方法。在本研究中,开发了一种涂有透明质酸的多功能锰-聚多巴胺纳米免疫调节剂(PDA-Mn-HA NPs)。这些纳米颗粒选择性地结合在肿瘤相关巨噬细胞和RCC细胞中高表达的CD44分子,并以肿瘤微环境响应方式释放锰离子。用PDA-Mn-HA NPs治疗可有效诱导巨噬细胞M1极化,触发促炎细胞因子和趋化因子的产生。转录组分析表明,PDA-Mn-HA NPs通过活性氧(ROS)-STING-p38/MAPK信号通路使巨噬细胞极化并激活。此外,PDA-Mn-HA NPs通过类芬顿反应在RCC细胞中诱导ROS-半胱天冬酶-3/GSDME依赖性细胞焦亡。在RCC小鼠模型中,PDA-Mn-HA NPs重塑巨噬细胞介导的免疫微环境,增强免疫细胞浸润,并显著抑制肿瘤生长。总之,多功能PDA-Mn-HA NPs通过解决精确锰递送的局限性并实现对巨噬细胞和肿瘤细胞的协同靶向,展示了转化潜力,为RCC提供了一种有前景的治疗策略。
