Abstract:
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) commonly emerges in an immunologically 'cold' state, thereafter protects it away from cytolytic attack by tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, resulting in poor response to immunotherapy. Herein, an acidic/photo-sensitive dendritic cell (DCs)-based neoantigen nano-vaccine has been explored to convert tumor immune 'cold' state into 'hot', and remodel tumor-associated neutrophils to potentiate anticancer immune response for enhancing immunotherapy efficiency. The nano-vaccine is constructed by SiPCCl2-hybridized mesoporous silica with coordination of Fe(III)-captopril, and coating with exfoliated membrane of matured DCs by H22-specific neoantigen stimulation. The nano-vaccines actively target H22 tumors and induce immunological cell death to boost tumor-associated antigen release by the generation of excess 1O2 through photodynamic therapy, which act as in situ tumor vaccination to strengthen antitumor T-cell response against primary H22 tumor growth. Interestingly, the nano-vaccines are also home to lymph nodes to directly induce the activation and proliferation of neoantigen-specific T cells to suppress the primary/distal tumor growth. Moreover, the acidic-triggered captopril release in tumor microenvironment can polarize the protumoral N2 phenotype neutrophils to antitumor N1 phenotype for improving the immune effects to achieve complete tumor regression (83%) in H22-bearing mice and prolong the survival time. This work provides an alternative approach for developing novel HCC immunotherapy strategies. © 2022 The Authors. Advanced Science published by Wiley-VCH GmbH.
