Combining mannose receptor mediated nanovaccines and gene regulated PD-L1 blockade for boosting cancer immunotherapy

Jie Chen et al.

Summary: This study explores an intensive tumor immunotherapeutic strategy by combining mannosylated nanovaccines with gene regulated PD-L1 blockade. The mannose modified nanovaccines can effectively co-encapsulate antigen and adjuvant, promoting endocytosis and cross presentation in dendritic cells. However, the limited inhibition of tumor growth by nanovaccines in the immunosuppressed tumor microenvironment can be overcome by combining with gene regulated PD-L1 blockade, leading to significant tumor remission.

Depletion of tumor associated macrophages enhances local and systemic platelet-mediated anti-PD-1 delivery for post-surgery tumor recurrence treatment

Zhaoting Li et al.

Summary: This study reports a method to enhance the effectiveness of anti-tumor immunotherapy by locally depleting tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) using a hydrogel reservoir. TAMs are depleted by releasing the colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) inhibitor Pexidartinib and delivering anti-PD-1 antibody-conjugated platelets locally and systemically, effectively inhibiting post-surgery tumor recurrence.

Photothermal-Chemotherapy Enhancing Tumor Immunotherapy by Multifunctional Metal-Organic Framework Based Drug Delivery System

Weidong Ni et al.

Summary: Immunotherapy shows promise for tumor treatment, but its clinical effect is limited by tumor immunogenicity and the immunosuppressive microenvironment. Researchers combined metal-organic framework MIL-100 loaded with mitoxantrone (MTO) with photothermal-chemotherapy to enhance immunogenic cell death. The resulting MMH NPs, with dual therapeutic properties and imaging modes, showed high antitumor efficacy and immune effect when co-injected with anti-OX40 antibody in colorectal cancer. This novel combined therapeutic strategy is promising for future tumor therapy.
