Abstract
BACKGROUND Generally, early-stage breast cancer has a good prognosis. However, if it spreads systemically, especially with pulmonary involvement, prospects worsen dramatically. Importantly, tumor-infiltrating T cells contribute to tumor control, particularly intratumoral T cells with a tissue-resident memory phenotype are associated with an improved clinical outcome. METHODS Here, we use an adenoviral vector vaccine encoding endogenous tumor-associated antigens adjuvanted with interleukin-1β to induce tumor-specific tissue-resident memory T cells (TRM) in the lung for the prevention and treatment of pulmonary metastases in the murine 4T1 breast cancer model. RESULTS The mucosal delivery of the vaccine was highly efficient in establishing tumor-specific TRM in the lung. Concomitantly, a single mucosal vaccination reduced the growth of pulmonary metastases and improved the survival in a prophylactic treatment. Vaccine-induced TRM contributed to these protective effects. In a therapeutic setting, the vaccination induced a pronounced T cell infiltration into metastases but resulted in only a minor restriction of the disease progression. However, in combination with stereotactic radiotherapy, the vaccine increased the survival time and rate of tumor-bearing mice. CONCLUSION In summary, our study demonstrates that mucosal vaccination is a promising strategy to harness the power of antitumor TRM and its potential combination with state-of-the-art treatments.

Abstract
Although our understanding of lung cancer has significantly improved in the past decade, it is still a disease with a high incidence and mortality rate. The key reason is that the efficacy of the therapeutic drugs is limited, mainly due to insufficient doses of drugs delivered to the lungs. To achieve precise lung cancer diagnosis and treatment, nano-particles (NPs) pulmonary delivery techniques have attracted much attention and facilitate the exploration of the potential of those in inhalable NPs targeting tumor lesions. Since the therapeutic research focusing on pulmonary delivery NPs has rapidly developed and evolved substantially, this review will mainly discuss the current developments of pulmonary delivery NPs for precision lung cancer diagnosis and therapy. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Respiratory Disease Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Emerging Technologies Diagnostic Tools > In Vivo Nanodiagnostics and Imaging.

Surgical Primary Tumor Resection Reduces Accumulation of CD11b + Myeloid Cells in the Lungs Augmenting the Efficacy of an Intranasal Cancer Vaccination against Secondary Lung Metastasis. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2023; 17:51. [PMID: 38256885 PMCID: PMC10821475 DOI: 10.3390/ph17010051] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2023] [Revised: 12/23/2023] [Accepted: 12/24/2023] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
A hallmark of effective cancer treatment is the prevention of tumor reoccurrence and metastasis to distal organs, which are responsible for most cancer deaths. However, primary tumor resection is expected to be curative as most solid tumors have been shown both experimentally and clinically to accelerate metastasis to distal organs including the lungs. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of our engineered nasal nano-vaccine (CpG-NP-Tag) in reducing accelerated lung metastasis resulting from primary tumor resection. Cytosine-phosphate-guanine oligonucleotide [CpG ODN]-conjugated nanoparticle [NP] encapsulating tumor antigen [Tag] (CpG-NP-Tag) was manufactured and tested in vivo using a syngeneic mouse mammary tumor model following intranasal delivery. We found that our nasal nano-vaccine (CpG-NP-Tag), compared to control NPs administered after primary mammary tumor resection, significantly reduced lung metastasis in female BALB/c mice subjected to surgery (surgery mice). An evaluation of vaccine efficacy in both surgery and non-surgery mice revealed that primary tumor resection reduces CD11b+ monocyte-derived suppressor-like cell accumulation in the lungs, allowing increased infiltration of vaccine-elicited T cells (IFN-γ CD8+ T cells) in the lungs of surgery mice compared to non-surgery mice. These findings suggest that the combination of the target delivery of a nasal vaccine in conjunction with the standard surgery of primary tumors is a plausible adjunctive treatment against the establishment of lung metastasis.
