Abstract

Cancer immunotherapy and vaccine development have significantly improved the fight against cancers. Despite these advancements, challenges remain, particularly in the clinical delivery of immunomodulatory compounds. The tumor microenvironment (TME), comprising macrophages, fibroblasts, and immune cells, plays a crucial role in immune response modulation. Nanoparticles, engineered to reshape the TME, have shown promising results in enhancing immunotherapy by facilitating targeted delivery and immune modulation. These nanoparticles can suppress fibroblast activation, promote M1 macrophage polarization, aid dendritic cell maturation, and encourage T cell infiltration. Biomimetic nanoparticles further enhance immunotherapy by increasing the internalization of immunomodulatory agents in immune cells such as dendritic cells. Moreover, exosomes, whether naturally secreted by cells in the body or bioengineered, have been explored to regulate the TME and immune-related cells to affect cancer immunotherapy. Stimuli-responsive nanocarriers, activated by pH, redox, and light conditions, exhibit the potential to accelerate immunotherapy. The co-application of nanoparticles with immune checkpoint inhibitors is an emerging strategy to boost anti-tumor immunity. With their ability to induce long-term immunity, nanoarchitectures are promising structures in vaccine development. This review underscores the critical role of nanoparticles in overcoming current challenges and driving the advancement of cancer immunotherapy and TME modification.

Fig. 1 An overview of using nanoparticles in cancer immunotherapy. The nanoparticles circulate in blood, and upon reaching the tumor site, they re-educate several tumor microenvironment components, including cancer-associated fibroblasts and tumor-associated macrophages, to finally activate the immune system. Moreover, nanoparticles can stimulate immunogenic cell death to enhance the maturation of dendritic cells for the activation of immune cells, such as T cells, to enhance cancer immunotherapy. The co-application of nanoparticles with immune checkpoint inhibitors, such as PD-L1 blockers, can augment the potential of cancer immunotherapy

Fig. 2 Cellular components that influence the tumor microenvironment (TME). Interactions within the TME play a crucial role in accelerating cancer progression. Cancer cells activate the PD-L1/PD-1 axis, leading to T cell exhaustion and impairment of T cell function. In addition, cancer cell-secreted exosomes that carry PD-1 contribute to T cell dysfunction, reducing proliferation and hindering proper function. Natural killer cells counteract tumorigenesis by secreting perforin and granular enzymes. Increased infiltration of Treg cells in the TME secretes TGF-β, inducing fibroblast transformation into cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), promoting extracellular matrix deposition, and causing T cell dysfunction. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) induce Treg cell formation in the TME through the secretion of PGE-2, IL-10, and TGF-β. Regulatory T cells (Treg), in turn, suppress the function of dendritic cells (DCs) by secreting perforin, leading to DC cell apoptosis. M2-polarized macrophages secrete TGF-β and IL-10, disrupting DC cell function. The interaction between endothelial cells and cancer cells results in angiogenesis, further enhancing cancer progression (created by Biorender.com)

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.
