Tumor microenvironment-responsive nanoparticles are utilized to activate the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) pathways, leading to increased secretion of interferons and pro-inflammatory cytokines and creating an immune-supportive microenvironment. Combined with an anti-PD-1 antibody, these nanoparticles show synergistic efficacy and induce systemic antitumor memory.
Insufficient activation of the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) signaling pathway and profoundly immunosuppressive microenvironment largely limits the effect of cancer immunotherapy. Herein, tumor microenvironment (TME)-responsive nanoparticles (PMM NPs) are exploited that simultaneously harness STING and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) to augment STING activation via TLR4-mediated nuclear factor-kappa B signaling pathway stimulation, leading to the increased secretion of type I interferons (i.e., 4.0-fold enhancement of IFN-beta) and pro-inflammatory cytokines to promote a specific T cell immune response. Moreover, PMM NPs relieve the immunosuppression of the TME by decreasing the percentage of regulatory T cells, and polarizing M2 macrophages to the M1 type, thus creating an immune-supportive TME to unleash a cascade adaptive immune response. Combined with an anti-PD-1 antibody, synergistic efficacy is achieved in both inflamed colorectal cancer and noninflamed metastatic breast tumor models. Moreover, rechallenging tumor-free animals with homotypic cells induced complete tumor rejection, indicating the generation of systemic antitumor memory. These TME-responsive nanoparticles may open a new avenue to achieve the spatiotemporal orchestration of STING activation, providing a promising clinical candidate for next-generation cancer immunotherapy. Tumor microenvironment-responsive nanoparticles are constructed to achieve spatiotemporal orchestration of innate immune stimulation by harnessing STING and TLR4 pathways. MPLA-mediated activation of nuclear factor kappa B amplifies STING signaling to promote the secretion of IFN-beta and other inflammatory cytokines, relieving the immunosuppression of tumor microenvironment and thus effectively inhibiting primary tumor growth as well as tumor recurrence and metastasis.image
