Microbiotic nanomedicine for tumor-specific chemotherapy-synergized innate/adaptive antitumor immunity

Wencheng Wu et al.

Summary: This study reports a novel microbiotic nanomedicine LOD/TPZ@Lips-LA, which combines lactate oxidase (LOD) and prodrug tirapazamine (TPZ) loaded liposomes anchored on lactobacillus (LA) surface for chemotherapy-synergized antitumor immunity. The nanomedicine induces tumor cell apoptosis through in situ ROS generation and TPZ activation based on LA metabolism, resulting in strong immunogenic cell death (ICD). By regulating biomarker expression, it promotes anti-tumorigenic M1 polarization of innate tumor-associated macrophages and infiltration of adaptive cytotoxic CD8+ T cells, synergistically enhancing the tumor inhibition effects.

Yinying Pu et al.

Summary: In this study, a cascade nanoreactor named LGT was engineered using liposomal nanoparticles to achieve in-situ photothermal immunotherapy for inhibiting primary and metastasized tumors.
