Abstract:
In personalized cancer immunotherapy, developing an effective neoantigen nanovaccine with high immunogenicity is a significant challenge. Traditional nanovaccine delivery systems often require nanocarriers, which can hinder the delivery of the neoantigen and cause significant toxicity. In this study, we present an innovative strategy of carrier-free nanovaccine achieved through direct self-assembly of 2'-fluorinated CpG (2'F-CpG) with melanoma neoantigen peptide (Obsl1). Molecular dynamics simulations demonstrated that the introduction of a fluorine atom into CpG increases the noncovalent interaction between 2'F-CpG and Obsl1, which enhanced the loading of Obsl1 on 2'F-CpG, resulting in the spontaneous formation of a hybrid 2'F-CpG/Obsl1 nanovaccine. This nanovaccine without extra nano-carriers showed ultrahigh Obsl1 loading up to 83.19 wt %, increasing the neoantigen peptide uptake by antigen-presenting cells (APCs). In C57BL/6 mice models, we demonstrated the long-term preventive and therapeutic effects of the prepared 2'F-CpG/Obsl1 nanovaccine against B16F10 melanoma. Immunocellular analysis revealed that the nanovaccine activated innate and adaptive immune responses to cancer cells. Hence, this study established a simple, safe, and effective preparation strategy for a carrier-free neoantigen nanovaccine, which could be adapted for the future design of personalized cancer vaccines in clinical settings.
