Polarization of tumor-associated macrophages by TLR7/8 conjugated radiosensitive peptide hydrogel for overcoming tumor radioresistance

Yumin Zhang et al.

Summary: This study aimed to overcome radioresistance in tumors by regulating the polarization of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) using a toll-like receptor agonist TLR7/8a conjugated with a radiosensitive peptide hydrogel (Smac-TLR7/8 hydrogel). The results showed that the Smac-TLR7/8 hydrogel effectively polarized TAMs into an anti-tumor M1 phenotype upon gamma-ray radiation. The repolarization of TAMs promoted tumor necrosis factor secretion, activated the anti-tumor immune response, and inhibited tumor growth. Furthermore, TAMs repolarization enhanced the efficacy of PD1-blockade by increasing tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and decreasing Treg cells in solid tumors.

Systemic vaccination induces CD8+T cells and remodels the tumor microenvironment

Faezzah Baharom et al.

Summary: Therapeutic cancer vaccines aim to enhance tumor-specific T cell immunity, but suppressive mechanisms within the tumor microenvironment can limit T cell function. This study investigated how different routes of vaccination impact intratumoral myeloid cells and found that intravenous administration of a nanoparticle vaccine induced tumor regression mediated by systemic type I interferon, leading to a reduction in intratumoral monocytes expressing immune-regulatory genes. In humans, these gene signatures are associated with worse outcomes. These results suggest that combining the generation of tumor-specific CD8+ T cells with remodeling of the tumor microenvironment holds promise for tumor immunotherapy.
