This study presents a combined tumor-therapeutic strategy of Prussian blue (PB)-mediated photothermal therapy and Mn2+-augmented immunotherapy by activating the cGAS-STING pathway. The treatment successfully activates local and systemic immune responses, inhibiting the growth of primary and distant metastatic tumors in mice.
As the clinical efficacy of immunotherapy for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) remains limited, exploring new immunotherapy approaches is still indispensable. Mn2+ has been proven as a cGAS-STING agonist to remarkably enhance antitumor immunity. Here, we report a combined tumor-therapeutic strategy based on Prussian blue (PB)-mediated photothermal therapy with Mn2+-augmented immunotherapy by synergistically activating the cGAS-STING pathway. Mn-enriched photonic nanomedicine (MnPB-MnOx) were constructed by integrating MnOx onto the surface of Mn-doped PB nanoparticles. All components of MnPB-MnOx are biocom-patible and biodegradable, wherein sufficient Mn are endowed through rational nanostructure design, conferring easier cGAS-STING activation. Additionally, tumor hyperthermia strengthened by MnPB under near-infrared light radiation, synergistic with the generation of reactive oxygen species catalyzed by MnOx, double hits can-cer cells to release abundant tumor-associated antigens for further promoting immune response stimulation. The local anti-TNBC efficacy of photothermal/immuno-therapy has been proven effective in subcutaneous 4T1 -bearing mice. Especially, it has been systematically demonstrated in bilateral orthotopic 4T1-bearing mice that the as-proposed treatment could successfully activate innate and adaptive immunity, and local therapy could engender systemic responses to suppress the distant tumors. Collectively, this work represents a proof-of-concept for a non-invasive Mn-based tumor-immunotherapeutic modality, providing a paradigm for the immunotherapy of metastatic-prone tumors.
