Metal-Phenolic Nanomedicines Regulate T-Cell Antitumor Function for Sono-Metabolic Cancer Therapy

Jie Yan et al.

Summary: Cancer cells compete with tumor-infiltrating T lymphocytes (TILs) for glucose uptake, which alters the tumor microenvironment (TME) and impairs CD8(+) TIL effector function. Inhibiting aerobic glycolysis in cancer cells and inducing mitochondrial dysfunction can reprogram TME and enhance CD8(+) T cell activation. A sono-metabolic cancer therapy using Hyaluronic Acid (HA)-modified metal-phenolic nanomedicine (HPP-Ca@GSK) is proposed to achieve these goals. In vitro and in vivo studies show that HPP-Ca@GSK-based sono-metabolic treatment exhibits significant anticancer activity and can be further enhanced by destabilizing T-reg cells with anticytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated protein-4 antibodies. These findings provide a metabolic intervention strategy for cancer immunotherapy.
