Abstract
Tumor immunotherapy has emerged as an efficacious therapeutic approach that mobilizes the patient's immune system to achieve durable tumor suppression. Here, we design a photodynamic therapy-motivated nanovaccine (Dex-HDL/ALA-Fe3O4) co-delivering 5-aminolevulinic acid and Fe3O4 nanozyme that demonstrate a long-term durable immunotherapy strategy. After vaccination, the nanovaccine exhibits obvious tumor site accumulation, lymph node homing, and specific and memory antitumor immunity evocation. Upon laser irradiation, Dex-HDL/ALA-Fe3O4 effectively generates reactive oxygen species at the tumor site not only to induce the immunogenic cell death-cascade but also to trigger the on-demand release of full types of tumor antigens. Intriguingly, Fe3O4 nanozyme-catalyzed hydrogen peroxide generated oxygen for alleviating tumor hypoxia and modifying the inhibitory tumor microenvironment, thereby exhibiting remarkable potential as a sensitizer. The intravenous administration of nanovaccines in diverse preclinical cancer models has demonstrated remarkable tumor regression and inhibition of postoperative tumor recurrence and metastasis, thereby enabling personalized treatment strategies against highly heterogeneous tumors.

Lipid-based nanoparticles to address the limitations of GBM therapy by overcoming the blood-brain barrier, targeting glioblastoma stem cells, and counteracting the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Biomed Pharmacother 2024; 171:116113. [PMID: 38181717 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.116113] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2023] [Revised: 12/24/2023] [Accepted: 12/29/2023] [Indexed: 01/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common primary malignant brain tumor, characterized by high heterogeneity, strong invasiveness, poor prognosis, and a low survival rate. A broad range of nanoparticles have been recently developed as drug delivery systems for GBM therapy owing to their inherent size effect and ability to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Lipid-based nanoparticles (LBNPs), such as liposomes, solid lipid NPs (SLNs), and nano-structured lipid carriers (NLCs), have emerged as the most promising drug delivery system for the treatment of GBM because of their unique size, surface modification possibilities, and proven bio-safety. In this review, the main challenges of the current clinical treatment of GBM and the strategies on how novel LBNPs overcome them were explored. The application and progress of LBNP-based drug delivery systems in GBM chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and gene therapy in recent years were systematically reviewed, and the prospect of LBNPs for GBM treatment was discussed.
