Abstract
Despite the recent approvals of multiple cancer immunotherapies, low tumor immunogenicity and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironments prevent a large portion of patients from responding to these treatment modalities. Given the immunomodulatory and adjuvant effects of conventional chemotherapy as well as its widespread clinical use, the use of chemotherapy in combination with immunotherapy (so-called chemoimmunotherapy) is an attractive approach to potentiate the effects of immunotherapy in more patient populations. However, due to the limited extent of tumor accumulation, poorly controlled interactions with the immune system, and effects on systemic healthy tissues by chemotherapeutic drugs, the incorporation of anti-cancer agents into biomaterial-based structures, such as nanocarriers, is highly attractive to improve the safety and efficacy of chemoimmunotherapy. Herein, we review the recent progress in drug delivery systems (DDSs) for potentiating the immunomodulatory effects of chemotherapeutics in chemoimmunotherapy, which represent among the most promising next generation strategies for cancer treatment in the immunotherapy era. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Given the benefits of cancer immunotherapy in inducing durable, albeit low rates, of patient response, interest in the immunomodulatory and adjuvant effects of conventional chemotherapy has been re-invigorated. This review article discusses the recent progress towards understanding the synergies between these two treatment types, how they can be used in combination (so-called chemoimmunotherapy), and the potential for drug delivery systems to optimize their effects in translational settings.

Abstract
Chemotherapy turns tumor cells into "tumor vaccines" by immunogenic cell death (ICD). However, it remains a challenge to exploit chemotherapy-induced "tumor vaccines" for solid cancer immunotherapy due to the inefficient effector T cells activation and tumor microenvironment immunosuppression. Here, a matrix metalloprotease 2 responsive liposome (PEG-FA-Lip) composed of cleavable PEG chains covering the folate (FA)-modified liposome is developed to deliver ICD inducer doxorubicin. In breast cancer-bearing mice, PEG-FA-Lip targets both 4T1 breast cancer cells and M2-tumor associated macrophages (M2-TAMs) via FA-receptor mediated endocytosis, resulting in abundant "tumor vaccines" and efficient elimination of M2-TAMs. The combination of local cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG) therapy facilitates PEG-FA-Lip induced "tumor vaccines" to effectively arouse systematic effector T cells immune response through promoting dendritic cell maturation and immunostimulatory cytokines secretion. The simultaneous elimination of M2-TAMs ensures the activated effector T cells exert antitumor immunity within tumor via decreasing immunosuppressive cytokines secretion and tumor infiltration of Treg cells. After receiving the combined treatment, 30.1% of breast cancer-bearing mice (initial tumor volume > 100 mm3) achieves the goal of tumor eradication. Remarkably, this combination therapy greatly inhibits lung metastasis and controls the growth of already metastasized breast cancers (initial tumor volume > 100 mm3).

Abstract
Chemo-immunotherapy is an important tool to overcome tumor immune suppression in cancer immunotherapy. Herein, we report a surface-layer (S-layer) protein-enhanced immunotherapy strategy based on cell membrane-coated S-CM-HPAD nanoparticles for the effective malignant tumor therapy and metastasis inhibition. The S-CM-HPAD NPs could effectively deliver the tumor antigen, DOX, and immunoadjuvant to the homotypic tumor by the homotypic targeting ability of the coated cell membrane. In addition to its ability to induce tumor cell death, the loaded DOX could enhance the immunotherapy response by inhibition of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs). Because of the intrinsic adjuvant property and capability to surface display epitopes and proteins, the S-layers localized on the surface of S-CM-HPAD NPs potentiated the immune response to the antigen. The results confirmed that the protective immunity against tumor occurrence was promoted effectively by prompting proliferation of lymphocytes and secretion of cytokine caused by the tumor-associated antigen and adjuvant. The excellent combinational therapeutic effects on the inhibition of tumor growth and metastasis in the melanoma tumor models demonstrated that the S-layer-enhanced immunotherapeutic method is a promising strategy for tumor immunotherapy of malignant tumor growth and metastasis.

Abstract
Taking advantages of drug delivery system, immunostimulatory and chemotherapeutic agents with different physiochemical properties can be co-delivered to realize synergistic antitumor effect. Here the immunostimulatory cytokine interleukin-2 (IL-2) was firstly adsorbed in doxorubicin (DOX) loaded nanovesicles (NV-DOXIL-2) with high encapsulation efficiency by a facile solvent free method. After intravenous injection to melanoma bearing mice, NV-DOXIL-2 can accumulate in tumor and remarkably suppress tumor growth with negligible systemic toxicity. To extend the comprehensive application of this strategy, interferon-γ (IFN-γ) was further introduced to the combinatorial system to develop cytokine cocktails adsorbed NVs. This kind of NVs can significantly inhibit the primary tumor growth and lung metastasis of triple-negative breast cancer. With exploration of underlying mechanism, the cytokine cocktails adsorbed NVs can facilitate maturation of dendritic cells, promote the infiltration and activation of CD8+ T lymphocytes and natural killer cells, and increase the recruitment of CD45+ immune cells and Ly6G+ neutrophils.

Abstract
Immunotherapy has emerged as a promising approach to treat cancer, since it facilitates eradication of cancer by enhancing innate and/or adaptive immunity without using cytotoxic drugs. Of the immunotherapeutic approaches, significant clinical potentials are shown in cancer vaccination, immune checkpoint therapy, and adoptive cell transfer. Nevertheless, conventional immunotherapies often involve immune-related adverse effects, such as liver dysfunction, hypophysitis, type I diabetes, and neuropathy. In an attempt to address these issues, polymeric nanomedicines are extensively investigated in recent years. In this review, recent advances in polymeric nanomedicines for cancer immunotherapy are highlighted and thoroughly discussed in terms of 1) antigen presentation, 2) activation of antigen-presenting cells and T cells, and 3) promotion of effector cells. Also, the future perspectives to develop ideal nanomedicines for cancer immunotherapy are provided.

Abstract
Dual-targeted delivery of drugs and energy by nanohybrids can potentially alleviate side effects and improve the unique features required for precision medicine. To realize this aim, however, the hybrids which are often rapidly removed from circulation and the piled up tumors periphery near the blood vessels must address the difficulties in low blood half-lives and tumor penetration. In this study, a sponge-inspired carbon composites-supported red blood cell (RBC) membrane that doubles as a stealth agent and photolytic carrier that transports tumor-penetrative agents (graphene quantum dots and docetaxel (GQD-D)) and heat with irradiation was developed. The RBC-membrane enveloped nanosponge (RBC@NS) integrated to a targeted protein that accumulates in tumor spheroids via high lateral bilayer fluidity exhibits an 8-fold increase in accumulation compared to the NS. Penetrative delivery of GQDs to tumor sites is actuated by near-infrared irradiation through a one-atom-thick structure, facilitating penetration and drug delivery deep into the tumor tissue. The synergy of chemotherapy and photolytic effects was delivered by the theranostic GQDs deep into tumors, which effectively damaged and inhibited the tumor in 21 days when treated with a single irradiation. This targeted RBC@GQD-D/NS with the capabilities of enhanced tumor targeting, NIR-induced drug penetration into tumors, and thermal ablation for photolytic therapy promotes tumor suppression and exhibits potential for other biomedical applications.

Abstract
Soft nano- or microgels made by natural or synthetic polymers have been investigated intensively because of their board applications. Due to their porosity and biocompatibility, nano- or microgels can be integrated with various biologics to form a bio-hybrid system. They can support living cells as a scaffold; entrap bioactive molecules as a drug carrier or encapsulate microorganisms as a semi-permeable membrane. Especially, researchers have created various modes of functional dynamics into these bio-hybrid systems. From one side, the encapsulating materials can respond to the external stimulus and release the cargo. From the other side, cells can respond to physical, or chemical properties of the matrix and differentiate into a specific cell type. With recent advancements of synthetic biology, cells can be further programed to respond to certain signals, and express therapeutics or other functional proteins for various purposes. Thus, the integration of nano- or microgels and programed cells becomes a potential candidate in applications spanning from biotechnology to new medicines. This brief review will first talk about several nano- or microgels systems fabricated by natural or synthetic polymers, and further discuss their applications when integrated with various types of biologics. In particular, we will concentrate on the dynamics embedded in these bio-hybrid systems, to dissect their designs and sophisticated functions.

Abstract
Nanoparticles and macromolecular carriers have been widely used to increase the efficacy of chemotherapeutics, largely through passive accumulation provided by their enhanced permeability and retention effect. However, the therapeutic efficacy of nanoscale anticancer drug delivery systems is severely truncated by their low tumor-targetability and inefficient drug release at the target site. Here, the design and development of novel l-peptide functionalized dual-responsive nanoparticles (l-CS-g-PNIPAM-PTX) for active targeting and effective treatment of GRP78-overexpressing human breast cancer in vitro and in vivo are reported. l-CS-g-PNIPAM-PTX NPs have a relative high drug loading (13.5%) and excellent encapsulation efficiency (74.3%) and an average diameter of 275 nm. The release of PTX is slow at pH 7.4 and 25 °C but greatly accelerated at pH 5.0 and 37 °C. MTT assays and confocal experiments showed that the l-CS-g-PNIPAM-PTX NPs possessed high targetability and antitumor activity toward GRP78 overexpressing MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells. As expected, l-CS-g-PNIPAM-PTX NPs could effectively treat mice bearing MDA-MB-231 human breast tumor xenografts with little side effects, resulting in complete inhibition of tumor growth and a high survival rate over an experimental period of 60 days. These results indicate that l-peptide-functionalized acid - and thermally activated - PTX prodrug NPs have a great potential for targeted chemotherapy in breast cancer.

PD-L1 knockdown via hybrid micelle promotes paclitaxel induced Cancer-Immunity Cycle for melanoma treatment. Eur J Pharm Sci 2018; 127:161-174.

Abstract
The Cancer-Immunity Cycle is a series of anticancer immune responses initiated and allowed to proceed and expand iteratively. Paclitaxel (PTX) is a classic chemotherapeutic agent, which could induce immunogenic cell death (ICD) to trigger the Cancer-Immunity Cycle. However, the Cycle is severely impaired by tumor cell immunosuppression of host T cell antitumor activity through the programmed cell death receptor 1 (PD-1) and programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) (PD-1/PD-L1) immune checkpoint pathway. Here, we demonstrated that PTX mediated the Cancer-Immunity Cycle could be enhanced by PD-L1 knockdown (KD) and followed mTOR pathway inhibition in tumor cells. PD-L1 siRNA (siP) and the hydrophobic chemotherapy drug PTX were co-delivered with a rationally designed hybrid micelle (HM). We showed clear evidence that the HM-siP/PTX is capable of delivering siP and PTX simultaneously to the B16F10 cells both in vitro and in vivo. We demonstrated that HM-PTX/siP reduced the expression of PD-L1 and p-S6K (a marker of mTOR pathway activation) both in vitro and in melanoma-bearing mice and attenuated synergistically tumor growth by chemical toxicity, promoting cytotoxic T-cell immunity and suppressing the mTOR pathway.

Abstract
For personalized cancer treatment, developing smart biomaterials with multiple biological functions is indispensable in nanomedicine fields. In this work, we developed a highly efficient near-infrared- (NIR-) and pH-responsive carboxymethyl chitosan-functionalized reduced graphene oxide/aldehyde functionalized poly (ethylene glycol) (CMC-rGO/CHO-PEG) hydrogel, which exhibits outstanding delivery performance of antitumor drug, doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX). CMC was functionalized on the GO nanosheets via a controllable approach in order to achieve strong NIR absorption property and good distribution of rGO. The intercalation effect of CMC-rGO complex improved rGO distribution in the 3D hydrogel, contributing to the enhanced photothermal performance of CMC-rGO/CHO-PEG hydrogel. Furthermore, potential utilization of these CMC-rGO/CHO-PEG hydrogel for drug loading was studied, which provided pH-sensitive release of DOX payload. Particularly, DOX could be released in a more efficient way under acidic environment (pH = 6.5) than that under physiological environment (pH = 7.4). Therefore, this rGO hybridized PEG hydrogel holds strategic potential as a novel drug release platform for combined chem-photothermal therapy.

Abstract
An ideal cancer therapeutic strategy is expected to possess potent ability to not only ablate primary tumors but also prevent distance metastasis and relapse. In this study, human serum albumin was hybridized with hemoglobin by intermolecular disulfide bonds to develop a hybrid protein oxygen nanocarrier with chlorine e6 encapsulated (C@HPOC) for oxygen self-sufficient photodynamic therapy (PDT). C@HPOC realized the tumor-targeted co-delivery of photosensitizer and oxygen, which remarkably relieved tumor hypoxia. C@HPOC was favorable for more efficient PDT and enhanced infiltration of CD8+ T cells in tumors. Moreover, oxygen-boosted PDT of C@HPOC induced immunogenic cell death, with the release of danger-associated molecular patterns to activate dendritic cells, T lymphocytes, and natural killer cells in vivo. Notably, C@HPOC-mediated immunogenic PDT could destroy primary tumors and effectively suppress distant tumors and lung metastasis in a metastatic triple-negative breast cancer model by evoking systemic anti-tumor immunity. This study provides a paradigm of oxygen-augmented immunogenic PDT for metastatic cancer treatment.

Abstract
A dual-sensitive nanoparticle delivery system was constructed by incorporating an acid sensitive hydrazone linker into thermosensitive nanoparticles (TSNs) for co-encapsulating doxorubicin (DOX) and interferon γ (IFNγ) and to realize the co-delivery of chemotherapy and immunotherapy agents against melanoma. DOX, a chemotherapeutic drug, was conjugated to TSNs by a pH-sensitive chemical bond, and IFNγ, a potent immune-modulator, was absorbed into TSNs through the thermosensitivity and electrostatics of nanoparticles. Consequently, the dual sensitive drug-loaded TSN delivery systems were successfully built and showed an obvious core-shell structure, good encapsulation efficiency of drugs, sustained and sensitive drug release, prolonged circulation time, as well as excellent synergistic antitumor efficiency against B16F10 tumor bearing mice. Moreover, the combinational antitumor immune responses of hydrazone bearing DOX/IFNγ-TSN (hyd) were strengthened by activating Th1-type CD4+ T cells, cytotoxic T lymphocytes, and natural killer cells, downregulating the expression levels of immunosuppressive cytokines, such as IL10 and TGFβ, and upregulating the secretion of IL2 and TNFα. Taken together, the multifunctional TSNs system provides a promising strategy for multiple drugs co-delivery with distinct properties.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bioresponsive nanogels with a crosslinked three-dimensional structure and an aqueous environment that undergo physical or chemical changes including swelling and dissociation in response to biological signals such as mild acidity, hyperthermia, enzymes, reducing agents, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP) present in tumor microenvironments or inside cancer cells have emerged as an appealing platform for targeted drug delivery and cancer therapy. AREAS COVERED This review highlights recent designs and development of bioresponsive nanogels for facile loading and triggered release of chemotherapeutics and biotherapeutics. The in vitro and in vivo antitumor performances of drug-loaded nanogels are discussed. EXPERT OPINION Bioresponsive nanogels with an excellent stability and safety profile as well as fast response to biological signals are unique systems that mediate efficient and site-specific delivery of anticancer drugs, in particular macromolecular drugs like proteins, siRNA and DNA, leading to significantly enhanced tumor therapy compared with the non-responsive counterparts. Future research has to be directed to the development of simple, tumor-targeted and bioresponsive multifunctional nanogels, which can be either constructed from natural polymers with intrinsic targeting ability or functionalized with targeting ligands. We anticipate that rationally designed nanotherapeutics based on bioresponsive nanogels will become available for future clinical cancer treatment.

Abstract
Nanoparticle-based therapeutic, prevention, and detection modalities have the potential to greatly impact how diseases are diagnosed and managed in the clinic. With the wide range of nanomaterials available, the rational design of nanocarriers on an application-specific basis has become increasingly commonplace. Here, a comprehensive overview is provided on an emerging platform: cell-membrane-coating nanotechnology. As a fundamental unit of biology, cells carry out a wide range of functions, including the remarkable ability to interface and interact with their surrounding environment. Instead of attempting to replicate such functions via synthetic techniques, researchers are now directly leveraging naturally derived cell membranes as a means of bestowing nanoparticles with enhanced biointerfacing capabilities. This top-down technique is facile, highly generalizable, and has the potential to greatly augment existing nanocarriers. Further, the introduction of a natural membrane substrate onto nanoparticles surfaces has enabled additional applications beyond those traditionally associated with nanomedicine. Despite its relative youth, there exists an impressive body of literature on cell membrane coating, which is covered here in detail. Overall, there is still significant room for development, as researchers continue to refine existing workflows while finding new and exciting applications that can take advantage of this developing technology.

Abstract
Biomimetic nanoengineering built through integrating the specific cell membrane with artificially synthetic nanomedicines represents one of the most promising directions for the actualization of personalized therapy. For addressing the technical hurdle against the development of this biomimetic technology, the present report describes the in-depth exploration and optimization over each critical preparation step, including establishment of a nanoparticle-stabilized dispersion system, cargo loading, membrane coating, and product isolation. Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles loaded with DOX is used as a typical model for the coating with cancer cell membranes, providing compact DNP@CCCM nanostructure well-characterized by various techniques. Furthermore, the feasibility of this optimized approach in constructing biomimetic membrane-coated nanomedicines has been validated on the basis of the remarkably improved biofunctions, such as the targetability, magnetic property, hemolysis risk, macrophage evasion, in vitro cytotoxicity, in vivo circulation duration, and in vivo principal component analysis postinjection. We hope this study regarding technique optimization will prompt the advancement of biomembrane-camouflaged nanoparticles as a newly emerging biomimetic technology.

Abstract
Chemotherapy has been widely applied in clinics. However, the therapeutic potential of chemotherapy against cancer is seriously dissatisfactory due to the nonspecific drug distribution, multidrug resistance (MDR) and the heterogeneity of cancer. Therefore, combinational therapy based on chemotherapy mediated by nanotechnology, has been the trend in clinical research at present, which can result in a remarkably increased therapeutic efficiency with few side effects to normal tissues. Moreover, to achieve the accurate pre-diagnosis and real-time monitoring for tumor, the research of nano-theranostics, which integrates diagnosis with treatment process, is a promising field in cancer treatment. In this review, the recent studies on combinational therapy based on chemotherapy will be systematically discussed. Furthermore, as a current trend in cancer treatment, advance in theranostic nanoparticles based on chemotherapy will be exemplified briefly. Finally, the present challenges and improvement tips will be presented in combination therapy and nano-theranostics.

Abstract
Cancer immunotherapy has recently shown dramatic clinical success inducing durable response in patients of a wide variety of malignancies. Further improvement of the clinical outcome with immune related cancer treatment requests more exquisite manipulation of a patient's immune system with increased immunity against diseases while mitigating the toxicities. To meet this challenge, biomaterials applied to immunoengineering are being developed to achieve tissue- and/or cell-specific immunomodulation and thus could potentially enhance both the efficacy and safety of current cancer immunotherapies. Here, we review the recent advancement in the field of immunoengineering using biomaterials and their applications in promoting different modalities of cancer immunotherapies, with focus on cell-, antibody-, immunomodulator-, and gene-based immune related treatments and their combinations with conventional therapies. Challenges and opportunities are discussed in applying biomaterials engineering strategies in the development of future cancer immunotherapies.
