AbstractAndrogen deprivation therapy (ADT) is a crucial and effective strategy for prostate cancer, while systemic administration may cause profound side effects on normal tissues. More importantly, the ADT can easily lead to resistance by involving the activation of NF-κB signaling pathway and high infiltration of M2 macrophages in tumor microenvironment (TME). Herein, we developed a biomimetic nanotherapeutic platform by deriving cell membrane nanovesicles from cancer cells and probiotics to yield the hybrid cellular nanovesicles (hNVs), loading flutamide (Flu) into the resulting hNVs, and finally modifying the hNVs@Flu with Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG). In this nanotherapeutic platform, the hNVs significantly improved the accumulation of hNVs@Flu-EGCG in tumor sites and reprogramed immunosuppressive M2 macrophages into antitumorigenic M1 macrophages, the Flu acted on androgen receptors and inhibited tumor proliferation, and the EGCG promoted apoptosis of prostate cancer cells by inhibiting the NF-κB pathway, thus synergistically stimulating the antitumor immunity and reducing the side effects and resistance of ADT. In a prostate cancer mouse model, the hNVs@Flu-EGCG significantly extended the lifespan of mice with tumors and led to an 81.78% reduction in tumor growth compared with the untreated group. Overall, the hNVs@Flu-EGCG are safe, modifiable, and effective, thus offering a promising platform for effective therapeutics of prostate cancer. Graphical Abstract
Background: Inducing immunogenic cell death (ICD) is a promising strategy to enhance immune responses for immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy, but the lack of a simple and effective platform to integrate ICD and ICB therapy limits their clinical application. Methods: Here, we developed programmed cell death protein 1 (PD1)-overexpressing genetically engineered nanovesicles (NVs)-coated curcumin (Cur)-loaded poly (lactic-co-poly-polyglycolic acid) nanoparticles (PD1@Cur-PLGA) to integrate ICD and ICB therapy for enhancing tumor immunotherapy. Results: Genetically engineered NVs greatly enhanced the tumor targeting of nanoparticles, and the PD1 on NVs dramatically blocked the PD1/PDL1 signaling pathway and stimulated antitumor immune responses. Meanwhile, the delivered Cur successfully induced tumor cell apoptosis and activated ICD by inhibiting NF-kappa B phosphorylation and Bcl-2 protein expression and activating caspase and Bax apoptotic signaling. By synergizing the ICD effect of Cur and the PD1/PDL1 axis blocking function of genetically engineered NVs, the PD1@Cur-PLGA enhanced the intratumoral infiltration rate of mature dendritic cells and CD8+T cells in tumor tissues, resulting in significantly inhibiting tumor growth in breast and prostate tumor-bearing mouse models. Conclusion: This synergistic ICD and ICB therapy based on genetically engineered NVs provides a low-cost, safe, and effective strategy to enhance cancer immunotherapy.
