Biomaterials-assisted construction of neoantigen vaccines for personalized cancer immunotherapy

Yumin Wu et al.

Summary: Cancer vaccine is a promising strategy for personalized immunotherapy, with the efficacy depending on the specificity of tumor antigens. Neoantigens, derived from somatic mutations, have shown the potential to elicit tumor-specific antitumor immune response. However, the delivery of neoantigens to antigen-presenting cells for effective immune response remains a challenge. The development of biomaterials has provided opportunities to construct efficient cancer vaccines with high loading and controlled release capabilities.

T-Cell-Derived Nanovesicles for Cancer Immunotherapy

Summary: While T-cell therapy is a significant breakthrough in cancer immunotherapy, its efficacy against solid tumors is limited due to T-cell exhaustion caused by immunosuppressive mechanisms. T-cell-derived nanovesicles (TCNVs) produced by extrusion through membranes with micro/nanosized pores show promising anti-tumoral activity in the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. TCNVs express programmed cell death protein 1 and TGF-beta receptor on their surface, which helps block PD-L1 on cancer cells and scavenge TGF-beta in the TME, preventing T-cell exhaustion and directly killing cancer cells. These findings suggest TCNVs as an effective strategy for cancer immunotherapy to overcome tumor's immunosuppressive mechanisms.
