Nanoparticle‐Enhanced Radiotherapy to Trigger Robust Cancer Immunotherapy

Abstract

External radiotherapy is extensively used in clinic to destruct tumors by locally applied ionizing‐radiation beams. However, the efficacy of radiotherapy is usually limited by tumor hypoxia‐associated radiation resistance. Moreover, as a local treatment technique, radiotherapy can hardly control tumor metastases, the major cause of cancer death. Herein, core–shell nanoparticles based poly(lactic‐co‐glycolic) acid (PLGA) are fabricate, by encapsulating water‐soluble catalase (Cat), an enzyme that can decompose H 2 O 2 to generate O 2, inside the inner core, and loading hydrophobic imiquimod (R837), a Toll‐like‐receptor‐7 agonist, within the PLGA shell. The formed PLGA‐R837@Cat nanoparticles can greatly enhance radiotherapy efficacy by relieving the tumor hypoxia and modulating the immune‐suppressive tumor microenvironment. The tumor‐associated antigens generated postradiotherapy‐induced immunogenic cell death in the presence of such R837‐loaded adjuvant nanoparticles will induce strong antitumor immune responses, which together with cytotoxic T‐lymphocyte associated protein 4 (CTLA‐4) checkpoint blockade will be able to effectively inhibit tumor metastases by a strong abscopal effect. Moreover, a long term immunological memory effect to protect mice from tumor rechallenging is observed post such treatment. This work thus presents a unique nanomedicine approach as a next‐generation radiotherapy strategy to enable synergistic whole‐body therapeutic responses after local treatment, greatly promising for clinical translation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
