Inhalable metal-organic framework-mediated cuproptosis combined with PD-L1 checkpoint blockade for lung metastasis synergistic immunotherapy

Black Phosphorus Quantum Dot Loaded Bioinspired Nanoplatform Synergized with aPD-L1 for Multimode Cancer Immunotherapy

Efforts to prolong the blood circulation time and bypass immune clearance play vital roles in improving the therapeutic efficacy of nanoparticles (NPs). Herein, a multifunctional nanoplatform (BPP@RTL) that precisely targets tumor cells is fabricated by encapsulating ultrasmall phototherapeutic agent black phosphorus quantum dot (BPQD), chemotherapeutic drug paclitaxel (PTX), and immunomodulator PolyMetformin (PM) in hybrid membrane-camouflaged liposomes. Specifically, the hybrid cell membrane coating derived from the fusion of cancer cell membrane and red blood cell membrane displays excellent tumor targeting efficiency and long blood circulation property due to the innate features of both membranes. After collaboration with aPD-L1-based immune checkpoint blockade therapy, a boosted immunotherapeutic effect is obtained due to elevated dendritic cell maturation and T cell activation. Significantly, laser-irradiated BPP@RTL combined with aPD-L1 effectively eliminates primary tumors and inhibits lung metastasis in 4T1 breast tumor model, offering a promising treatment plan to develop personalized antitumor strategy.
