Obesity usually exacerbates the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (ITME), hindering CD8 T cell infiltration and function, which further represents a significant barrier to the efficacy of immunotherapy. Herein, a multifunctional liposomal system (CR-Lip) for encapsulating celastrol (CEL) was utilized to remodel obesity-related ITME and improve cancer immunotherapy, wherein Ginsenoside Rg3 (Rg3) was detected interspersed in the phospholipid bilayer and its glycosyl exposed on the surface of the liposome. CR-Lip had a relatively uniform size (116.5 nm), facilitating favorable tumor tissue accumulation through the interaction between Rg3 and glucose transporter 1 overexpressed in obese tumor cells. Upon reaching the tumor region, CR-Lip was found to induce the immunogenic cell death (ICD) of HFD tumor cells. Notably, the level of PHD3 in HFD tumor cells was effectively boosted by CR-Lip to effectively block metabolic reprogramming and increase the availability of major free fatty acids fuel sources. , experiments studies revealed that the easy-obtained nano platform stimulated enhanced the production of various cytokines in tumor tissues, DC maturation, CD8 T-cell infiltration, and synergistic anticancer therapeutic potency with aPD-1 (tumor inhibition rate = 82.1%) towards obesity-related melanoma. Consequently, this study presented an efficacious approach to tumor immunotherapy in obese mice by encompassing tumor eradication, inducing ICD, and reprogramming metabolism. Furthermore, it offered a unique insight into a valuable attempt at the immunotherapy of obesity-associated related tumors.
肥胖通常会加剧免疫抑制性肿瘤微环境(ITME),阻碍CD8 T细胞浸润和功能,这进一步成为免疫治疗疗效的重大障碍。在此,一种用于包裹雷公藤红素(CEL)的多功能脂质体系统(CR-Lip)被用于重塑与肥胖相关的ITME并改善癌症免疫治疗,其中检测到人参皂苷Rg3(Rg3)穿插在磷脂双层中,其糖基暴露在脂质体表面。CR-Lip具有相对均匀的尺寸(116.5 nm),通过Rg3与肥胖肿瘤细胞中过表达的葡萄糖转运蛋白1之间的相互作用促进肿瘤组织的良好积累。到达肿瘤区域后,发现CR-Lip可诱导高脂饮食(HFD)肿瘤细胞发生免疫原性细胞死亡(ICD)。值得注意的是,CR-Lip有效提高了HFD肿瘤细胞中PHD3的水平,以有效阻断代谢重编程并增加主要游离脂肪酸燃料来源的可用性。实验研究表明,这种易于获得的纳米平台可刺激肿瘤组织中各种细胞因子的产生、树突状细胞(DC)成熟、CD8 T细胞浸润,并与抗程序性死亡蛋白1(aPD-1)协同发挥抗癌治疗效力(肿瘤抑制率 = 82.1%),用于治疗与肥胖相关的黑色素瘤。因此,本研究提出了一种在肥胖小鼠中进行肿瘤免疫治疗的有效方法,包括根除肿瘤、诱导ICD和重编程代谢。此外,它为肥胖相关肿瘤的免疫治疗的有价值尝试提供了独特的见解。
