Glioblastoma extracellular vesicles modulate immune PD-L1 expression in accessory macrophages upon radiotherapy. iScience 2024; 27:108807. [PMID: 38303726 PMCID: PMC10831876 DOI: 10.1016/j.isci.2024.108807] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2023] [Revised: 11/10/2023] [Accepted: 01/02/2024] [Indexed: 02/03/2024] Open
Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive brain tumor, presenting major challenges due to limited treatment options. Standard care includes radiation therapy (RT) to curb tumor growth and alleviate symptoms, but its impact on GBM is limited. In this study, we investigated the effect of RT on immune suppression and whether extracellular vesicles (EVs) originating from GBM and taken up by the tumor microenvironment (TME) contribute to the induced therapeutic resistance. We observed that (1) ionizing radiation increases immune-suppressive markers on GBM cells, (2) macrophages exacerbate immune suppression in the TME by increasing PD-L1 in response to EVs derived from GBM cells which is further modulated by RT, and (3) RT increases CD206-positive macrophages which have the most potential in inducing a pro-oncogenic environment due to their increased uptake of tumor-derived EVs. In conclusion, RT affects GBM resistance by immuno-modulating EVs taken up by myeloid cells in the TME.

Nitrated T cell epitope linked vaccine targeting CD47 elicits antitumor immune responses and acts synergistically with vaccine targeting PDL1. Int Immunopharmacol 2024; 128:111374. [PMID: 38181672 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2023.111374] [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: 10/07/2023] [Revised: 12/05/2023] [Accepted: 12/11/2023] [Indexed: 01/07/2024]
Abstract
Despite the clinical breakthrough made by immune checkpoint blockades (ICB) in cancer immunotherapy, immunosuppressed tumor microenvironment (TME) remains a major impediment in the efficacy of ICB immunotherapy. In this study, we constructed a Nitrated T cell epitope (NitraTh) linked vaccine targeting CD47, namely CD47-NitraTh. CD47-NitraTh could repress the progression of tumor by inducing tumor-specific immune response. Furthermore, combination vaccination with CD47-NitraTh and PDL1-NitraTh could reconstruct tumor associated macrophage, enhance macrophage-mediated phagocytosis for tumor cells, and promote the activation of tumor infiltrating T cells. Notably, by activating chemokine signaling pathway, NitraTh based vaccines reversed immunosuppressed TME, resulting in improved therapeutic outcome for tumor. With the advantage of reversing immunosuppressed TME, NitraTh based vaccine seems an optimal immunotherapy strategy for patients who are not sensitive to antibody based ICB.

Abstract
This article presents bioconjugates combining nanoparticles (AGuIX) with nanobodies (VHH) targeting Programmed Death-Ligand 1 (PD-L1, A12 VHH) and Cluster of Differentiation 47 (CD47, A4 VHH) for active tumor targeting. AGuIX nanoparticles offer theranostic capabilities and an efficient biodistribution/pharmacokinetic profile (BD/PK), while VHH's reduced size (15 kDa) allows efficient tumor penetration. Site-selective sortagging and click chemistry were compared for bioconjugation. While both methods yielded bioconjugates with similar functionality, click chemistry demonstrated higher yield and could be used for the conjugation of various VHH. The specific targeting of AGuIX@VHH has been demonstrated in both in vitro and ex vivo settings, paving the way for combined targeted immunotherapies, radiotherapy, and cancer imaging.
