Abstract
Cancer immunotherapy is a therapeutic strategy to inhibit tumor growth and metastasis by intervening in the immune response process. Strategies applied to cancer immunotherapy mainly include blocking immune checkpoints, adoptive transfer of engineered immune cells, cytokine therapy, cancer vaccines, and oncolytic virus infection. However, many factors, such as off-target side effects, immunosuppressive cell infiltration and/or upregulation of immune checkpoint expression, cancer cell heterogeneity, and lack of antigen presentation, affect the therapeutic effect of immunotherapy on cancer. To improve the efficacy of targeted immunotherapy and reduce off-target effects, over the past two decades, nanoparticle delivery platforms have been increasingly used in tumor immunotherapy. However, nanoparticles are still subject to biological barriers and biodistribution challenges, which limit their overall clinical potential. This has prompted a series of engineered nanoparticles to overcome specific obstacles and transfer the accumulation of payloads to tumor-infiltrating immune cells. In recent years, new techniques and chemical methods have been employed to modify or functionalize the surfaces of nanoparticles. This review discusses the recent progress of surface-engineered nanoparticles in inducing tumor immune responses and immunotherapy, as well as future directions for the development of next-generation nanomedicines.

Abstract
Plants release phenolic molecules to protect against invading pathogens. In plant-microorganism relationships, phenolics bind to surface oligosaccharides, inactivating microorganism activities. Inspired by phenol-saccharide interactions in plant defense systems, we designed an adhesive sealant. By screening 16 different saccharides, the O-acetyl group, rich in glucomannan (GM), exhibited rapid, robust binding with the galloyl moiety of a model phenolic molecule, tannic acid (TA). Furthermore, the interaction showed both pH and temperature (upper critical solution temperature) sensitivities. Utilizing O-acetyl-galloyl interactions, materials of all dimensions from beads (0D) to strings (1D), films (2D), and objects (3D) could be prepared, as a suitable platform for printing techniques. GMTA films are elastic, adhesive, water-resistant, and effectively sealed perforations, as demonstrated by (1) a lung incision followed by an air inflation model and (2) a thoracic diaphragm model. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: In nature, phenolic molecules are 'nearly always' physically bound with polysaccharides, indicating that the phenolics widen the functions of polysaccharides. An example includes that phenolic-polysaccharide interactions are key defense mechanisms against microbial infection in plants whereas polysaccharide alone functions poorly. Despite the ubiquitous biochemistry of polysaccharide-phenolic interactions, efforts on understanding binding chemistry focusing on phenol/polysaccharide interactions is little. This study is important because we found for the first time that O-acetyl group is the moiety in polysaccharides to which phenolic cis-diol and/or cis-triol is spontaneously bound. The phenol-polysaccharide interaction is non-covalent yet robust, kinetically fast, and reversible. Inspired by the interaction chemistry, a simple mixture of phenolic molecules and O-acetyl group containing polysaccharides such as glucomannan opens a promising fabrication strategy toward functional polysaccharide-based material.

Abstract
The combination of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitors and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) is newly available for molecular targeted therapy against non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in clinic. However, the therapeutic benefits remain unsatisfying due to the poor drug delivery to targets of interest. In this study, we developed bevacizumab-coated gefitinib-loaded nanoparticles (BCGN) with dual-responsive drug release for inhibiting tumor angiogenesis and phosphorylation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Through an exogenous corona strategy, bevacizumab is easily coated on gefitinib-loaded nanoparticles via electrostatic interaction. After intravenous injection, BCGN are efficiently accumulated in NSCLC tumors as confirmed by dual-model imaging. Bevacizumab is released from BCGN upon oxidation in tumor microenvironment, whereas gefitinib is released after being internalized by tumor cells and disassembled in reduction cytoplasm. The dual-responsive release of bevacizumab and gefitinib significantly inhibits tumor growth in both A549 and HCC827 human NSCLC models. Our approach provides a promising strategy to improve combinational molecular targeted therapy of NSCLC with precisely controlled drug release.

Abstract
Chemoradiotherapy is the standard of care for the clinical treatment of locally advanced head and neck cancers. However, the combination of ion radiation with free chemotherapeutics yields unsatisfactory therapeutic output and severe side effects due to the nonspecific biodistribution of the anticancer drugs. Herein, a self-cooperative prodrug nanovesicle is reported for highly tumor-specific chemoradiotherapy. The nanovesicles integrating a prodrug of oxaliplatin (OXA) can passively accumulate at the tumor site and penetrate deep into the tumor mass via matrix metalloproteinase 2-mediated cleavage of the polyethylene glycol corona. The OXA prodrug can be restored inside the tumor cells with endogenous glutathione to trigger immunogenic cell death (ICD) of the tumor cells and sensitize the tumor to ion radiation. The nanovesicles can be further loaded with the JAK inhibitor ruxolitinib to abolish chemoradiotherapy-induced programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) upregulation on the surface of the tumor cells, thereby prompting chemoradiotherapy-induced immunotherapy by blocking the interferon gamma-Janus kinase-signal transducer and activator of transcription axis. The prodrug nanoplatform reported herein might present a novel strategy to cooperatively enhance chemoradiotherapy of head and cancer and overcome PD-L1-dependent immune evasion.

Abstract
Immunotherapy that activates immune systems for combating cancer has yielded considerable clinical benefits recently. However, the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (ITME) is a major hurdle to immunotherapy as it supports tumor to evade immune surveillance. Reversing ITME facilitates the recruitment and activation of antitumor immune cells, thereby promoting immunotherapy. Our group has developed various nanosized drug delivery systems (NDDSs) to modulate ITME with enhanced efficacy and safety. In the review we introduce the ITME-remodeling strategies for improving immunotherapy based on NDDSs including triggering tumor cells to undergo immunogenetic cell death (ICD), applying tumor vaccine, and directly regulating intratumoral immune components (immune cells or cytokines). In order to guide the design of NDDSs for amplified effects of antitumor immunotherapy, the contributions and future directions of this field are also discussed.

Abstract
Recent advances in tumor immunotherapy mainly tend to remodel the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) for immune enhancement. However, the complexity of TME makes it unlikely to achieve satisfactory therapeutic effects with any single intervention alone. Here, we focus on exposing intrinsic features of tumor cells to trigger direct pleiotropic antitumor immunity. We develop a photosensitive nanointerferer that is engineered with a nanoscale metal-organic framework decorated with tumor cell membranes for targeted delivery of a photosensitizer and small interfering RNA, which is used to knock down cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (Cdk4). Cdk4 blockade can arrest the cell cycle of tumor cells to facilitate antigen exposure and increase the expression level of programmed cell death protein ligand 1 (PD-L1). Under laser irradiation, photodynamic damage triggered by the nanointerferer induces the release of tumor antigens and recruitment of dendritic cells (DCs), thereby promoting the antitumor activity of CD8+ T cells in combination with anti-PD-L1 antibodies. Ultimately, these events markedly retard tumor progression in a mouse model of ectopic colon tumor with negligible adverse effects. This study provides an alternative treatment for effective antitumor immunity by exciting the intrinsic potential of tumor cells to initiate immune responses while reducing immune-related toxicities.

Abstract
The complicated tumor microenvironment (TME) is featured by low pH values, high redox status, and hypoxia, which greatly supports the genesis, development, and metastasis of tumors, leading to drug resistance and clinical failure. Moreover, a lot of immunosuppressive cells infiltrate in such TME, resulting in depressing immunotherapy. Therefore, the development of TME-responsive nanoplatforms has shown great significance in enhancing cancer therapeutics. Metal-phenolic networks (MPNs)-based nanosystems, which self-assemble via coordination of phenolic materials and metal ions, have emerged as excellent TME theranostic nanoplatforms. MPNs have unique properties including fast preparation, tunable morphologies, pH response, and biocompatibility. Besides, functionalization and surface modification can endow MPNs with specific functions for application requirements. Here, the representative engineering strategies of various polyphenols are first introduced, followed by the introduction of the engineering mechanisms of polyphenolic nanosystems, fabrication, and distinct properties of MPNs. Then, their advances in TME modulation are highlighted, such as antiangiogenesis, hypoxia relief, combination therapy sensitization, and immunosuppressive TME reversion. Finally, we will discuss the challenges and future perspectives of MPNs-based nanosystems for enhancing cancer therapy.

Abstract
Immunotherapy, in particular immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy targeting the programmed cell death-1 (PD-1)/programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) axis, has remarkably revolutionized cancer treatment in the clinic. Anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy is designed to restore the antitumor response of cytotoxic T cells (CTLs) by blocking the interaction between PD-L1 on tumour cells and PD-1 on CTLs. Nevertheless, current anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy suffers from poor therapeutic outcomes in a large variety of solid tumours due to insufficient tumour specificity, severe cytotoxic effects, and the occurrence of immune resistance. In recent years, nanosized drug delivery systems (NDDSs), endowed with highly efficient tumour targeting and versatility for combination therapy, have paved a new avenue for cancer immunotherapy. In this review article, we summarized the recent advances in NDDSs for anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy. We then discussed the challenges and further provided perspectives to promote the clinical application of NDDS-based anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy.

Abstract
The clinical translation of nanomedicines has been strongly hampered by the limitations of delivery vehicles, promoting scientists to search for novel nanocarriers. Although cell membrane-based delivery systems have attracted extensive attention, further functionalizations are urgently desired to augment their theranostic functions. We propose a cell-friendly supramolecular strategy to engineer cell membranes utilizing cyclodextrin-based host-guest molecular recognitions to fix the defects arising from chemical and genetic modifications. In this study, the supramolecular cell membrane vesicles (SCMVs) specifically accumulate in tumors, benefiting from tumor-homing capability and the enhanced permeability and retention effect. SCMVs co-delivering indocyanine green and an indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase inhibitor effectively ablate tumors combining photodynamic therapy and immunotherapy. Driven by host-guest inclusion complexation, SCMVs successfully encapsulate resiquimod to repolarize tumor-associated macrophages into M1 phenotype, synergizing with immune checkpoint blockade therapy. This supramolecular engineering methodology based on noncovalent interactions presents a generalizable and cell-friendly tactic to develop living cell-originated nanomaterials for precise cancer therapy.

Abstract
Immunotherapeutic efficacy of tumors based on immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy is frequently limited by an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment and cross-reactivity with normal tissues. Herein, we develop reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive nanocomplexes with the function of ROS production for delivery and triggered release of anti-mouse programmed death ligand 1 antibody (αPDL1) and glucose oxidase (GOx). GOx and αPDL1 were complexed with oligomerized (-)-epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate (OEGCG), which was followed by chelation with Fe3+ and coverage of the ROS-responsive block copolymer, POEGMA-b-PTKDOPA, consisting of poly(oligo(ethylene glycol)methacrylate) (POEGMA) and the block with thioketal bond-linked dopamine moieties (PTKDOPA) as the side chains. After intravenous injection, the nanocomplexes show prolonged circulation in the bloodstream with a half-life of 8.72 h and efficient tumor accumulation. At the tumor sites, GOx inside the nanocomplexes can produce H2O2 via oxidation of glucose for Fenton reaction to generate hydroxyl radicals (•OH) which further trigger the release of the protein cargos through ROS-responsive cleavage of thioketal bonds. The released GOx improves the production efficiency of •OH to kill cancer cells for release of tumor-associated antigens via chemodynamic therapy (CDT). The enhanced immunogenic cell death (ICD) can activate the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment and improve the immunotherapy effect of the released αPDL1, which significantly suppresses primary and metastatic tumors. Thus, the nanocomplexes with Fenton reaction-triggered protein release show great potentials to improve the immunotherapeutic efficacy of ICB via combination with CDT.

Abstract
Cancer immunotherapy moderates the immune system's ability to fight cancer. Due to its extreme complexity, scientists are working to put together all the puzzle pieces to get a clearer picture of the immune system. Shreds of available evidence show the connection between cancer and the immune system. Immune responses to tumors and lymphoid malignancies are influenced by B cells, γδT cells, NK cells, and dendritic cells (DCs). Cancer immunotherapy, which encompasses adoptive cancer therapy, monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), immune checkpoint therapy, and CART cells, has revolutionized contemporary cancer treatment. This article reviews recent developments in immune cell regulation and cancer immunotherapy. Various options are available to treat many diseases, particularly cancer, due to the progress in various immunotherapies, such as monoclonal antibodies, recombinant proteins, vaccinations (both preventative and curative), cellular immunotherapies, and cytokines.

Abstract
Immunotherapy is recognised as an attractive method for the treatment of cancer, and numerous treatment strategies have emerged over recent years. Investigations of the tumour microenvironment (TME) have led to the identification of many potential therapeutic targets and methods. However, many recently applied immunotherapies are based on previously identified strategies, such as boosting the immune response by combining commonly used stimulators, and the release of drugs through changes in pH. Although methodological improvements such as structural optimisation and combining strategies can be undertaken, applying those novel targets and methods in immunotherapy remains an important goal. In this review, we summarise the latest research on the TME, and discuss how small molecules, immune cells, and their interactions with tumour cells can be regulated in the TME. Additionally, the techniques currently employed for delivery of these agents to the TME are also mentioned. Strategies to modulate cell phenotypes and interactions between immune cells and tumours are mainly discussed. We consider both modulatory and targeting methods aiming to bridge the gap between the TME and chemical modulation thereof.

Abstract
Immunotherapy has received tremendous attention for tumor treatment, but the efficacy is greatly hindered by insufficient tumor-infiltration of immune cells and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. The strategy that can efficiently activate cytotoxic T lymphocytes and inhibit negative immune regulators will greatly amplify immunotherapy outcome, which is however very rare. Herein, a new kind of semiconducting polymer (SP) nanoparticles is developed, featured with surface-mimicking protein secondary structure (SPSS NPs) for self-synergistic cancer immunotherapy by combining immunogenic cell death (ICD) and immune checkpoint blockade therapy. The SPs with excellent photodynamic property are synthesized by rational fluorination, which can massively induce ICD. Additionally, the peptide antagonists are introduced and self-assembled into β-sheet protein secondary structures on the photodynamic NP surface via preparation process optimization, which function as efficient lysosome-targeting chimaeras (LYTACs) to mediate the degradation of programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) in lysosome. In vivo experiments demonstrate that SPSS NPs can not only elicit strong antitumor immunity to suppress both primary tumor and distant tumor, but also evoke long-term immunological memory against tumor rechallenge. This work introduces a new kind of robust immunotherapy agents by combining well-designed photosensitizer-based ICD induction and protein secondary structures-mediated LYTAC-like multivalence PD-L1 blockade, rendering great promise for synergistic immunotherapy.

Abstract
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 axis showed remarkable improvements in overall response and patient survival, which changed the treatment landscape for multiple cancer types. However, the majority of patients receiving ICIs are either non-responders or eventually develop secondary resistance. Meanwhile, immunological homeostasis would be destroyed as T cell functions are activated excessively, leading to immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Clinically, a large number of irAEs caused by ICIs occurred and affected almost every organ system, resulting in the discontinuation or even the termination of the ongoing therapy. Therefore, researchers are exploring methods to overcome the situations of insufficient accumulation of these drugs in tumor sites and severe side effects. PD-1/PD-L1-targeted agents encapsulated in nanoparticles have emerged as novel drug delivery systems for improving the delivery efficacy, enhancing immune response and minimizing side effects in cancer treatment. Nanocarriers targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 axis showed enhanced functionalities and improved the technical weaknesses based on their reduced off-target effects, biocompatible properties, multifunctional potential and biomimetic modifications. Here, we summarize nanoparticles which are designed to directly target the PD-1/PD-L1 axis. We also discuss the combination of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 agents and other therapies using nanomedicine-based treatments and their anticancer effects, safety issues, and future prospects.

Abstract
The presence of multiple immunosuppressive targets and insufficient activation and infiltration of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) allow tumor cells to escape immune surveillance and disable anti-PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy. Nanobiotechnology-engineered autologous tumor vaccines (ATVs) that were camouflaged by tumor cell membrane (TCM) were designed to activate and facilitate CTLs infiltration for killing the unprotected lung tumor cells, consequently realizing the sequential immunotherapy. PDE5 was firstly screened out as a new immunosuppressive target of lung cancer in clinical practice. Immediately afterwards, phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) and programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) dual-target co-inhibition was proposed to unfreeze the immunosuppressive microenvironment of NSCLC. Systematic studies validated that this ATVs-unlocked sequential immunotherapy after co-encapsulating PDE5 inhibitor and NO donor (i.e., l-arginine) exerted robust anti-tumor effects through increasing inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression, blockading PDE5 pathway and activating systematic immune responses, which synergistically eradicated local and abscopal lung cancers in either orthotopic or subcutaneous models. The pluripotent ATVs that enable PDE5 inhibition and sequential immunotherapy provide a new avenue to mitigate immunosuppressive microenvironment and magnify anti-PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy. A clinically-screened NSCLC immunosuppressive target (PDE5) is experimentally validated available for designing new drugs. Pluripotent ATVs unlock sequential immunotherapy via PDE5&PD-L1 co-inhibition and TCM antigens-arised immune activation. NO donor loaded in ATVs augmented PDE5i efficacy and magnified sequential immunotherapy along with TCM-enabled tumor tropism.

Abstract
Antibody-based cancer therapy, one of the most significant therapeutic strategies, has achieved considerable success and progress over the past decades. Nevertheless, obstacles including limited tumor penetration, short circulation half-lives, undesired immunogenicity, and off-target side effects remain to be overcome for the antibody-based cancer treatment. Owing to the rapid development of nanotechnology, antibody-containing nanomedicines that have been extensively explored to overcome these obstacles have already demonstrated enhanced anticancer efficacy and clinical translation potential. This review intends to offer an overview of the advancements of antibody-incorporated nanoparticulate systems in cancer treatment, together with the nontrivial challenges faced by these next-generation nanomedicines. Diverse strategies of antibody immobilization, formats of antibodies, types of cancer-associated antigens, and anticancer mechanisms of antibody-containing nanomedicines are provided and discussed in this review, with an emphasis on the latest applications. The current limitations and future research directions on antibody-containing nanomedicines are also discussed from different perspectives to provide new insights into the construction of anticancer nanomedicines.

Abstract
Immune checkpoint (IC) proteins are some of the most important factors that tumor cells hijack to escape immune surveillance, and inhibiting ICs to enhance or relieve antitumor immunity has been proven efficient in tumor treatment. Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) agents such as antibodies blocking programmed death (PD) 1, PD-1 ligand (PD-L) 1, and cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen (CTLA)-4 have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat several types of cancers. Although ICB agents have shown outstanding clinical success, and their application has continued to expand to additional tumor types in the past decade, immune-related adverse events (irAEs) have been observed in a wide range of patients who receive ICB treatment. Numerous studies have focused on the clinical manifestations and pathology of ICB-related irAEs, but the detailed mechanisms underlying irAEs remain largely unknown. Owing to the wide expression of IC molecules on distinct immune cell subpopulations and the fact that ICB agents generally affect IC-expressing cells, the influences of ICB agents on immune cells in irAEs need to be determined. Here, we discuss the expression and functions of IC proteins on distinct immune cells and the potential mechanism(s) related to ICB-targeted immune cell subsets in irAEs.

Abstract
Tumor immunotherapy is an artificial stimulation of the immune system to enhance anti-cancer response. It has become a powerful clinical strategy for treating cancer. The number of immunotherapy drug approvals has been increasing in recent years, and many treatments are in clinical and preclinical stages. Despite this progress, the special tumor heterogeneity and immunosuppressive microenvironment of solid tumors made immunotherapy in the majority of cancer cases difficult. Therefore, understanding how to improve the intratumoral enrichment degree and the response rate of various immunotherapy drugs is key to improve efficacy and control adverse reactions. With the development of materials science and nanotechnology, advanced biomaterials such as nanoparticle and drug delivery systems like T-cell delivery therapy can improve effectiveness of immunotherapy while reducing the toxic side effects on non-target cells, which offers innovative ideas for improving immunity therapeutic effectiveness. In this review, we discuss the mechanism of tumor cell immune escape and focus on current immunotherapy (such as cytokine immunotherapy, therapeutic monoclonal antibody immunotherapy, PD-1/PD-L1 therapy, CAR-T therapy, tumor vaccine, oncolytic virus, and other new types of immunity) and its challenges as well as the latest nanotechnology (such as bionic nanoparticles, self-assembled nanoparticles, deformable nanoparticles, photothermal effect nanoparticles, stimuli-responsive nanoparticles, and other types) applications in cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As an endocytic nanosicle involved in intercellular communication, an exosome can efficiently deliver drugs from one cell to another and deliver therapeutic short interfering RNA (siRNA) to target cells. This is conducive to gene therapy for cancers. In this study, an exosome was used as the siRNA-loaded substrate to prepare a targeted siRNA-loaded PD-L1 exosome and evaluate its function against lung cancer. METHODS The optimal preparation process and binding ratio of the targeted nanovesicle/siRNA complex was determined by detecting the particle size, potential, and other physical parameters in combination with cell binding and uptake capacity of exosome complexes. The biological cell behavior of targeted exosome nanosicles was evaluated through cytotoxicity, apoptosis, and the cell uptake capacity. RESULTS A targeted exosome nanovesicle capable of loading siRNA and characterized with low toxicity, high loading rate, and the ability to be used for targeted tumor cell gene therapy was constructed. CONCLUSION The PD-L1 targeting exosome can be used as an efficient siRNA delivery carrier, which is an efficient and safe nanocarrier for tumor targeted gene therapy.

Heptamethine Cyanine-Loaded Nanomaterials for Cancer Immuno-Photothermal/Photodynamic Therapy: A Review. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14051015.

Abstract
The development of strategies capable of eliminating metastasized cancer cells and preventing tumor recurrence is an exciting and extremely important area of research. In this regard, therapeutic approaches that explore the synergies between nanomaterial-mediated phototherapies and immunostimulants/immune checkpoint inhibitors have been yielding remarkable results in pre-clinical cancer models. These nanomaterials can accumulate in tumors and trigger, after irradiation of the primary tumor with near infrared light, a localized temperature increase and/or reactive oxygen species. These effects caused damage in cancer cells at the primary site and can also (i) relieve tumor hypoxia, (ii) release tumor-associated antigens and danger-associated molecular patterns, and (iii) induced a pro-inflammatory response. Such events will then synergize with the activity of immunostimulants and immune checkpoint inhibitors, paving the way for strong T cell responses against metastasized cancer cells and the creation of immune memory. Among the different nanomaterials aimed for cancer immuno-phototherapy, those incorporating near infrared-absorbing heptamethine cyanines (Indocyanine Green, IR775, IR780, IR797, IR820) have been showing promising results due to their multifunctionality, safety, and straightforward formulation. In this review, combined approaches based on phototherapies mediated by heptamethine cyanine-loaded nanomaterials and immunostimulants/immune checkpoint inhibitor actions are analyzed, focusing on their ability to modulate the action of the different immune system cells, eliminate metastasized cancer cells, and prevent tumor recurrence.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a lethal respiratory disease with few treatment options, occurs due to repetitive microinjuries to alveolar epithelial cells (AECs) and progresses with an overwhelming deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM), ultimately resulting in fibrotic scars and destroyed the alveolar architecture. Here, an inhaled ribosomal protein-based mRNA nanoformulation is reported for clearing the intrapulmonary ECM and re-epithelializing the disrupted alveolar epithelium, thereby reversing established fibrotic foci in IPF. The nanoformulation is sequentially assembled by a ribosomal protein-condensed mRNA core, a bifunctional peptide-modified corona and keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) with a PEGylated shielding shell. When inhaled via a nebulizer, the nanoformulations carried by microdrops are deposited in the alveoli, and penetrate into fibrotic foci, where the outer KGFs are detached after matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2) triggering. The RGD motif-grafted cores then expose and specifically target the integrin-elevated cells for the intracellular delivery of mRNA. Notably, repeated inhalation of the nanoformulations accelerates the clearance of locoregional collagen by boosting the intralesional expression of MMP13 and alveolar re-epithelialization mediated by KGFs, which synergistically ameliorates the lung function of a bleomycin-induced murine model. Therefore, this work provides an alternative mRNA-inhalation delivery strategy, which shows great potential for the treatment of IPF.

Abstract
The chirality of nanomaterials (nanoparticles, NPs) can influence their interaction with cells and biological systems. However, how chirality can exert impact on the immune response has yet to be investigated. Here, the immunological effect of chiral nanomaterials is investigated as a therapeutic and preventive option against tumors. Compared with achiral nanoparticles, chiral NPs with a g-factor of 0.44 are shown to enhance both innate and acquired immunity against tumor growth. It is also found that chiral NPs enhance the activation of CD8+ T and natural killer cells (CD69+ NK cells) by stimulating dendritic cells (DCs). Importantly, L-type NPs induce a 1.65-fold higher proportion of CD8+ T and CD69+ NK cells than D-type NPs. Next, the therapeutic and preventative effects of chiral NPs against tumors in a EG7.OVA tumor model are investigated. It is found that L-type NPs have a significant greater ability to induce apoptosis in tumor cells and prolong the survival time of model mice than D-type NPs. Mice treated with L-type NPs induce the activation of 84.98 ± 6.63% CD8+ T cells and 33.62 ± 3.41% of NK cells in tumor tissues; these are 1.62-fold and 1.39-fold higher than that seen in the mice treated with D-type NPs. Mechanistic studies reveal that chiral NPs exert mechanical force on bone-marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) and stimulate the expression of cytokines to induce cytotoxic activity in NK cells. Synergistically, the CD8+ T cells are stimulated to eliminate tumor cells via antigen cross presentation. The force of interaction between L-type NPs and cells is higher than that for D-NPs, thus further promoting the activation of NK cells and CD8+ T cells and their infiltration into tumor tissue. These findings open up a new avenue for chiral nanomaterials to act as immunoadjuvants for the prevention and treatment of cancer.

Abstract
Background Clinical studies have shown that the efficacy of programmed cell death receptor-1/programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-1/PD-L1) inhibitors on glioblastoma (GBM) is much lower than what is expected because of the low immunogenicity of GBM. Ferroptosis of cancer cells can induce the maturation of dendritic cells (DC cells) and increase the activity of T cell. The activated T cells release IFN-γ, which subsequently induces the ferroptosis of cancer cells. Thus, the aim of this paper is to set up a new GBM-targeted drug delivery system (Fe3O4-siPD-L1@M-BV2) to boost ferroptosis for immunotherapy of drug-resistant GBM. Results Fe3O4-siPD-L1@M-BV2 significantly increased the accumulation of siPD-L1 and Fe2+ in orthotopic drug-resistant GBM tissue in mice. Fe3O4-siPD-L1@M-BV2 markedly decreased the protein expression of PD-L1 and increased the ratio between effector T cells and regulatory T cells in orthotopic drug-resistant GBM tissue. Moreover, Fe3O4-siPD-L1@M-BV2 induced ferroptosis of GBM cells and maturation of DC cell, and it also increased the ratio between M1-type microglia and M2-type microglia in orthotopic drug-resistant GBM tissue. Finally, the growth of orthotopic drug-resistant GBM in mice was significantly inhibited by Fe3O4-siPD-L1@M-BV2. Conclusion The mutual cascade amplification effect between ferroptosis and immune reactivation induced by Fe3O4-siPD-L1@M-BV2 significantly inhibited the growth of orthotopic drug-resistant GBM and prolonged the survival time of orthotopic drug-resistant GBM mice.

Abstract
Exosomes are naturally occurring nanoscale vesicles that are released and received by almost all cells in the body. Exosomes can be transferred between cells and contain various molecular constitutes closely related to their origin and function, including proteins, lipids, and RNAs. The importance of exosomes in cellular communication makes them important vectors for delivering a variety of drugs throughout the body. Exosomes are ubiquitous in the circulatory system and can reach the site of injury or disease through a variety of biological barriers. Due to its unique structure and rich inclusions, it can be used for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Mesenchymal stem-cell-derived exosomes (MSCs-Exo) inherit the physiological functions of MSCs, including repairing and regenerating tissues, suppressing inflammatory responses, and regulating the body’s immunity; therefore, MSCs-Exo can be used as a natural drug delivery carrier with therapeutic effects, and has been increasingly used in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases and neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we summarize the research progress of MSCs-Exo as drug delivery vectors and their application for various drug deliveries, providing ideas and references for the study of MSCs-Exo in recent years.

Abstract
The clinical effect of immune checkpoint therapy is limited by the poor blocking efficiency of immune checkpoints and the insufficient infiltration of tumor-specific T cells. Here, we constructed enzyme-responsive PVA-peptide conjugates (PPCs) to achieve re-assembly with enhanced accumulation in the tumor region, enable enhanced PD-L1 occupancy and improve the blocking efficiency. The self-assembled PPC-1 nanoparticles can enter tumor environment, whereas the enzyme-cleavable peptide was digested under overgenerated matrix metalloproteinases (MMP). The accumulated PPC-1 simultaneously transformed into β-sheet fibrous structures around the solid tumor and remained stable for over 96 h, which led to efficiently interrupting the PD-1/PD-L1 interaction. Upon introduction of the IAP antagonists, the non-classical NF-κB pathway of dendritic cells was activated and increased the infiltration of T cells in tumors. With the synergistic contribution of IAP antagonists from the substantial increase in expression of chemokines (CCL5 and CXCL9) and adequate T-cell infiltration in tumor sites, PPC-1 improved the biodistribution and accumulation of PD-L1 antagonists in tumor regions ultimately realizing higher-performance (P < 0.01) tumor growth inhibition efficiency (~80%) than PPC-2 group (~58%) in B16F10 tumor-bearing mice. The growth of the second tumor at the distal end was obviously inhibited (P < 0.01) after the resection of the primary tumor. The combined efficacy was similar to that observed in a Pan02 pancreatic cancer tumor model. This strategy aims to offer novel perspective for the development of locational assembly platforms in vivo and the optimal design of immune checkpoint combination therapy.

Abstract
The checkpoint inhibitor therapy that blocks programmed death-1 (PD-1) and its major ligand PD-L1 has achieved encouraging clinical efficacy in certain cancers. However, the binding of checkpoint inhibitors with other immune cells that express PD-L1 often results in a low response rate to the blockade and severe adverse effects. Herein, an LyP1 polypeptide-modified outer-membrane vesicle (LOMV) loaded with a PD-1 plasmid is developed to achieve self-blockade of PD-L1 in tumor cells. The nanocarriers accumulate in the tumor tissue through OMV-targeting ability and are internalized into the tumor cells via the LyP1-mediated target, subsequently delivering PD-1 plasmid into the nucleus, leading to the expression of PD-1 by the tumor cells. In addition, a magnetic particle chemiluminescence kit is developed to quantitatively detect the binding rate of PD-1/PD-L1. The self-expressed PD-1 bonded with the PD-L1 is expressed by both autologous and neighboring tumor cells, achieving self-blockade. Simultaneously, the outer-membrane protein of LOMV recruits cytotoxic lymphocyte cells and natural killer cells to tumor tissues and stimulates them to secrete IFN-γ , improving the antitumor activity of the PD-1/PD-L1 self-blocking therapy.

Blockade of A2A adenosine receptors (A2AR)-adenosinergic signaling shows high potency to mobilize antitumor immunity for its in-depth involvement in immune regulation of nearly all immune cells. Available A2AR inhibition strategies are mainly based on small molecules or proteins inhibitors, yet are limited by the non-specific operation as well as the off-target toxicity. Herein, the first effort to design a convenient tumor-specific A2AR inhibition strategy to improve antitumor immune responses via the spatiotemporally controlled oxygen supply by virtue of a versatile photo-modulated nanoreactor is reported on. This nanoreactor, consisting of a catalase-mimicking shell (Pt nanocatalyst) and a photothermal core (polydopamine), is rationally designed for achieving the near-infrared radiation (NIR)-guided/accelerated oxygen supplementation on tumor site, and for relieving the A2AR-mediated immunosuppression without toxicity concern. Meanwhile, the NIR light could also mediate the direct photothermal ablation of tumor, and elicit immunogenic cell deaths to boost antitumor immunity. In a poorly immunogenic breast cancer model, the intravenous injection of the nanoreactor leads to the improved immune response with an increased animal survival rate, and achieves the long-term immunological memory effect against tumor recurrence as well as rechallenge. This convenient nanoreactor-stimulated A2AR inhibition approach provides a versatile promising paradigm for improving these existing immunotherapies.

Enantiomer-dependent immunological response to chiral nanoparticles. Nature 2022; 601:366-373.

Abstract
Chirality is a unifying structural metric of biological and abiological forms of matter. Over the past decade, considerable clarity has been achieved in understanding the chemistry and physics of chiral inorganic nanoparticles1-4; however, little is known about their effects on complex biochemical networks5,6. Intermolecular interactions of biological molecules and inorganic nanoparticles show some commonalities7-9, but these structures differ in scale, in geometry and in the dynamics of chiral shapes, which can both impede and strengthen their mirror-asymmetric complexes. Here we show that achiral and left- and right-handed gold biomimetic nanoparticles show different in vitro and in vivo immune responses. We use irradiation with circularly polarized light (CPL) to synthesize nanoparticles with controllable nanometre-scale chirality and optical anisotropy factors (g-factors) of up to 0.4. We find that binding of nanoparticles to two proteins from the family of adhesion G-protein-coupled receptors (AGPCRs)-namely cluster-of-differentiation 97 (CD97) and epidermal-growth-factor-like-module receptor 1 (EMR1)-results in the opening of mechanosensitive potassium-efflux channels, the production of immune signalling complexes known as inflammasomes, and the maturation of mouse bone-marrow-derived dendritic cells. Both in vivo and in vitro immune responses depend monotonically on the g-factors of the nanoparticles, indicating that nanoscale chirality can be used to regulate the maturation of immune cells. Finally, left-handed nanoparticles show substantially higher (1,258-fold) efficiency compared with their right-handed counterparts as adjuvants for vaccination against the H9N2 influenza virus, opening a path to the use of nanoscale chirality in immunology.

Abstract
The immune checkpoint blockade therapy has profoundly revolutionized the field of cancer immunotherapy. However, despite great promise for a variety of cancers, the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors is still low in colorectal cancer (CRC). This is mainly due to the immunosuppressive feature of the tumor microenvironment (TME). Emerging evidence reveals that certain chemotherapeutic drugs induce immunogenic cell death (ICD), demonstrating great potential for remodeling the immunosuppressive TME. In this study, the potential of ginsenoside Rg3 (Rg3) as an ICD inducer against CRC cells was confirmed using in vitro and in vivo experimental approaches. The ICD efficacy of Rg3 could be significantly enhanced by quercetin (QTN) that elicited reactive oxygen species (ROS). To ameliorate in vivo delivery barriers associated with chemotherapeutic drugs, a folate (FA)-targeted polyethylene glycol (PEG)-modified amphiphilic cyclodextrin nanoparticle (NP) was developed for co-encapsulation of Rg3 and QTN. The resultant nanoformulation (CD-PEG-FA.Rg3.QTN) significantly prolonged blood circulation and enhanced tumor targeting in an orthotopic CRC mouse model, resulting in the conversion of immunosuppressive TME. Furthermore, the CD-PEG-FA.Rg3.QTN achieved significantly longer survival of animals in combination with Anti-PD-L1. The study provides a promising strategy for the treatment of CRC.

Abstract
Cancer immunotherapy has made tremendous clinical progress in advanced-stage malignancies. However, patients with various tumors exhibit a low response rate to immunotherapy because of a powerful immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) and insufficient immunogenicity of tumors. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) can not only directly kill tumor cells, but also elicit immunogenic cell death (ICD), providing antitumor immunity. Unfortunately, limitations from the inherent nature and complex TME significantly reduce the efficiency of PDT. Recently, smart nanomedicine-based strategies could subtly modulate the pharmacokinetics of therapeutic compounds and the TME to optimize both PDT and immunotherapy, resulting in an improved antitumor effect. Here, the emerging nanomedicines for PDT-driven cancer immunotherapy are reviewed, including hypoxia-reversed nanomedicines, nanosized metal-organic frameworks, and subcellular targeted nanoparticles (NPs). Moreover, we highlight the synergistic nanotherapeutics used to amplify immune responses combined with immunotherapy against tumors. Lastly, the challenges and future expectations in the field of PDT-driven cancer immunotherapy are discussed.

Abstract
Nucleic acid drugs are highly applicable for cancer immunotherapy with promising therapeutic effects, while targeting delivery of these drugs to disease lesions remains challenging. Cationic polymeric nanoparticles have paved the way for efficient delivery of nucleic acid drugs, and achieved stimuli-responsive disassembly in tumor microenvironment (TME). However, TME is highly heterogeneous between individuals, and most nanocarriers lack active-control over the release of loaded nucleic acid drugs, which will definitely reduce the therapeutic efficacy. Herein, we have developed a light-controllable charge-reversal nanoparticle (LCCN) with controlled release of polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid [Poly(I:C)] to treat triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) by enhanced photodynamic immunotherapy. The nanoparticles keep suitably positive charge for stable loading of Poly(I:C), while rapidly reverse to negative charge after near-infrared light irradiation to release Poly(I:C). LCCN-Poly(I:C) nanoparticles trigger effective phototoxicity and immunogenic cell death on 4T1 tumor cells, elevate antitumor immune responses and inhibit the growth of primary and abscopal 4T1 tumors in mice. The approach provides a promising strategy for controlled release of various nucleic acid-based immune modulators, which may enhance the efficacy of photodynamic immunotherapy against TNBC

Abstract
At present, some progress has been made in the field of cancer theranostics based on nanocatalysts (NCs), but achieving precise theranostics in response to the specific tumor microenvironment (TME) remains a major challenge. Herein, a TME-responsive upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs)-based smart UCNPs@Cu-Cys-GOx (UCCG) nanosystem is engineered, which combines natural enzymes and nanozymes so as to amplify reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in situ for cancer starvation/chemodynamic/immunotherapy. One of the biggest merits of this material is that it can be preserved inert (off) in normal tissues, and only in the TME can it be specifically activated (on) through a series of enzymatic cascades to boost ROS production via a strategy of open source (H2 O2 self-supplying ability) and reduce expenditure (glutathione (GSH) consuming ability). More importantly, the enhanced oxidative stress by UCCG NCs reverses the immunosuppressive TME, and facilitates antitumor immune responses. Meanwhile, the starvation/chemodynamic synergistic therapy triggered by UCCG combined with PD-L1 antibody effectively inhibits the growth of primary tumors and cancer metastasis. In addition, the UCNPs in UCCG present upconversion luminescence enhancement, which can be exploited to visualize the reinforced ROS generation in real time. Collectively, this work provides an original method for the devising and exploitation of UCNPs-based catalytic immunotherapy.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to assess the prospects for central lung cancer (CLC) screening using fluorescent diagnostics and its treatment by endobronchial photodynamic therapy (PDT). Bronchoscopic fluorescent diagnostics using chlorin e6 photosensitizers and a developed instrumental system enable to reveal tumor changes in large bronchi mucosa at early stages, and a developed PDT technique performed under fluorescent control helps achieve personalized treatment. Such an approach is considered as a theranostic technique - photodynamic theranostics. central lung cancer screening requires a fluorescent dye characterized by availability and can be used directly within the examination. Indocyanine green can be used as a dye, its peculiarity is the necessity to excite and record fluorescence in the near-infrared (NIR) wavelength band. First experiments using NIR bands to diagnose a bronchoscopic system showed the detectability of tumor areas using on-site bronchoscopic photodynamic theranostics, which consists in NIR imaging of tumor foci when a standard dose of indocyanine green is administered during the examination. Conclusion Further progress of early diagnostics and minimally invasive CLC therapy will be determined by the development of new photosensitizers, which should be characterized by a high absorption band in NIR area, quick accumulation in a tumor, high yield of single oxygen in NIR illumination, bright fluorescence, high potential in terms of the induction of an anti-tumor immune response.

Abstract
Responsive drug delivery systems possess great potential in disease diagnosis and treatment. Herein, we develop an activatable prodrug and fluorescence imaging material by engineering the endogenous NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase-1 (NQO1) responsive linker. The as-prepared nanomaterials possess the NQO1-switched drug release and fluorescence enablement, which realizes the tumor-specific chemotherapy and imaging in living mice. The enzyme-sensitive prodrug nanoparticles exhibit selectively potent anticancer performance to NQO1-positive cancer and ignorable off-target toxicity. This work provides an alternative strategy for constructing smart prodrug nanoplatforms with precision, selectivity, and practicability for advanced cancer imaging and therapy.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a mini-invasive therapy on malignancies via reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by photosenitizer (PS) upon light irradiation. However, poor target of PS to tumor limits the clinical application of PDT. Compared with normal tissues, tumor tissues have a unique enzymatic environment. The unique enzymatic environment in tumor tissues has been widely used as a target for developing smart materials to improve the targetability of drugs to tumor. Enzyme-responsive materials (ERM) as a smart material can respond to the enzymes in tumor tissues to specifically deliver drugs. In PDT, ERM was designed to react with the enzymes highly expressed in tumor tissues to deliver PS in the target site to prevent therapeutic effects and avoid its side-effects. In the present paper, we will review the application of ERM in PDT and discuss the challenges of ERM as carriers to deliver PS for further boosting the development of PDT in the management of malignancies.

Abstract
Because of the blood-tumour barrier and cross-reactivity with healthy tissues, immune checkpoint blockade therapy against glioblastoma has inadequate efficacy and is associated with a high risk of immune-related adverse events. Here we show that anti-programmed death-ligand 1 antibodies conjugated with multiple poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) chains functionalized to target glucose transporter 1 (which is overexpressed in brain capillaries) and detaching in the reductive tumour microenvironment augment the potency and safety of checkpoint blockade therapy against glioblastoma. In mice bearing orthotopic glioblastoma tumours, a single dose of glucosylated and multi-PEGylated antibodies reinvigorated antitumour immune responses, induced immunological memory that protected the animals against rechallenge with tumour cells, and suppressed autoimmune responses in the animals' healthy tissues. Drug-delivery formulations leveraging multivalent ligand interactions and the properties of the tumour microenvironment to facilitate the crossing of blood-tumour barriers and increase drug specificity may enhance the efficacy and safety of other antibody-based therapies.

Abstract
Cancer involves a collection of diseases with a common trait - dysregulation in cell proliferation. At present, traditional therapeutic strategies against cancer have limitations in tackling various tumors in clinical settings. These include chemotherapeutic resistance and the inability to overcome intrinsic physiological barriers to drug delivery. Nanomaterials have presented promising strategies for tumor treatment in recent years. Nanotheranostics combine therapeutic and bioimaging functionalities at the single nanoparticle level and have experienced tremendous growth over the past few years. This review highlights recent developments of advanced nanomaterials and nanotheranostics in three main directions: stimulus-responsive nanomaterials, nanocarriers targeting the tumor microenvironment, and emerging nanomaterials that integrate with phototherapies and immunotherapies. We also discuss the cytotoxicity and outlook of next-generation nanomaterials towards clinical implementation.

Abstract
Lysosome-relevant cell death induced by lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP) has recently attracted increasing attention. However, nearly no studies show that currently available LMP inducers can evoke immunogenic cell death (ICD) or convert immunologically cold tumors to hot. Herein, we report a LMP inducer named TPE-Py-pYK(TPP)pY, which can respond to alkaline phosphatase (ALP), leading to formation of nanoassembies along with fluorescence and singlet oxygen turn-on. TPE-Py-pYK(TPP)pY tends to accumulate in ALP-overexpressed cancer cell lysosomes as well as induce LMP and rupture of lysosomal membranes to massively evoke ICD. Such LMP-induced ICD effectively converts immunologically cold tumors to hot as evidenced by abundant CD8+ and CD4+ T cells infiltration into the cold tumors. Exposure of ALP-catalyzed nanoassemblies in cancer cell lysosomes to light further intensifies the processes of LMP, ICD and cold-to-hot tumor conversion. This work thus builds a new bridge between lysosome-relevant cell death and cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
Immune evasion is the major obstacle for T-cell-based cancer immunotherapy. The insufficient expression of the tumor-rejection antigen causes the intrinsic immune resistance and high expression of programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) induced by interferon gamma (IFN-γ), which accounts for the inducible immune resistance. To deal with both the intrinsic and inducible immune resistance of cancer, a multifunctional prodrug nanovesicle is sequentially developed. It is first sorted out that doxycycline (Doxy) efficiently inhibits autophagy of the tumor cells, and increases the surface level of major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I). Then, chameleon-inspired prodrug nanovesicles are engineered for tumor-targeted delivery of Doxy. The prodrug nanovesicles integrating a sheddable poly(ethylene glycol) shell and CRGDK ligand are kept stable during blood circulation, while exposing the targeting ligand in the tumor, which significantly inhibits autophagy, elicits MHC-I expression, increases tumor antigen presentation, recruits more tumor-infiltrating T lymphocytes, and suppresses FN-γ-induced intratumoral PD-L1 expression. After a proof of concept for overcoming intrinsic and inducible immune evasion, the prodrug nanovesicles are applied to validate the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy in two tumor-bearing mouse models. This research thus provides a novel targeting strategy for reducing tumor immune resistance and potentiating tumor immunotherapy.

Abstract
Conventional photothermal therapy (PTT) is insufficient to induce a strong and potent anti-tumor immune response. Herein, we present a vanadyl nanocomplex, which simultaneously serves as a photothermal agent (PTA) and an immunogenic cell death (ICD) inducer to enhance the anti-tumor immunity of PTT. The vanadyl nanocomplex (STVN) is constructed via facile one-step coordination assembly under ambient conditions. STVN not only has a strong and stable photothermal effect under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, but also can cause severe endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress by itself, leading to ICD and activating the systemic immune responses. In the absence of any adjuvants, NIR-irradiated STVN almost completely ablates primary tumors and simultaneously inhibits distant tumors in mice bearing bilateral melanoma. Meanwhile, the intratumorally injected STVN combined with NIR effectively suppressed melanoma lung metastasis as well as tumor recurrence, displaying that local STVN-mediated PTT could trigger a systemic anti-tumor immunity. Therefore, STVN, as a novel immunogenicity-enhanced PTA, affords a "one stone two birds" strategy for improved photothermia-induced cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
Proteases are involved in the control of numerous physiological processes, and their dysregulation has been identified in a wide range of pathologies, including cancer. Protease activity is normally tightly regulated post-translationally and therefore cannot be accurately estimated based on mRNA or protein expression alone. While several types of zymography approaches to estimate protease activity exist, there remains a need for a robust and reliable technique to measure protease activity in biological tissues. We present a novel quantitative ex vivo zymography (QZ) technology based on Probody® therapeutics (Pb-Tx), a novel class of protease-activated cancer therapeutics that contain a substrate linker cleavable by tumor-associated proteases. This approach enables the measurement and comparison of protease activity in biological tissues via the detection of Pb-Tx activation. By exploiting substrate specificity and selectivity, cataloguing and differentiating protease activities is possible, with further refinement achieved using protease-specific inhibitors. Using the QZ assay and human tumor xenografts, patient tumor tissues, and patient plasma, we characterized protease activity in preclinical and clinical samples. The QZ assay offers the potential to increase our understanding of protease activity in tissues and inform diagnostic and therapeutic development for diseases, such as cancer, that are characterized by dysregulated proteolysis.

Abstract
Tumor nanovaccines have potential applications in the prevention and treatment of malignant tumors. However, it remains a longstanding challenge in exploiting efficient nanocarriers for inducing potent specifically cellular immune responses. Toward this objective, we herein explore an intensive tumor immunotherapeutic strategy by combining mannosylated nanovaccines and gene regulated PD-L1 blockade for immune stimulation and killing activity. Here, we fabricate a mannose modified PLL-RT (Man-PLL-RT) mediated nanovaccines with dendritic cells (DCs) targeting capacity. Man-PLL-RT is capable of co-encapsulating with antigen (ovalbumin, OVA) and adjuvant (unmethylated cytosine-phosphate-guanine, CpG) by electrostatic interaction. This positively charged Man-PLL-RT/OVA/CpG nanovaccines can facilitate the endocytosis, maturation and cross presentation in DCs. However, the nanovaccines arouse limited inhibition of tumor growth, which is mainly due to the immunosuppressed microenvironment of tumors. Combining tumor nanovaccines with gene regulated PD-L1 blockade leads to an obvious tumor remission in B16F10 melanoma bearing mice. The collaborative strategy provides essential insights to boost the benefits of tumor vaccines by regulating the checkpoint blockade with gene therapy. The nanovaccines are composed of polypeptides, which are bio-safe and biodegradable. The nanovaccines have APCs target function. Blocking PD-1/PD-L1 through gene therapy can reverse the tumor immune-tolerant microenvironment. The combined strategy provides a potentially effective strategy for the clinical treatment of tumors.
