A relay-type innate immunity activation strategy involving water-soluble NIR-II AIEgen for boosted tumor photo-immunotherapy.

ABSTRACT: Background: Effective innate immunity activation could dramatically improve the anti-tumor efficacy and increase the beneficiary population of immunotherapy. However, the anti-tumor effect of unimodal immunotherapy is still not satisfactory. Methods: Herein, a novel relay-type innate immunity activation strategy based on photo-immunotherapy mediated by a water-soluble aggregation-induced emission luminogen, PEG420-TQ, with the assistant of toll-like receptor 7 (TLR-7) agonist, imiquimod (R837), was developed and constructed. Results: The strategy could promote tumor cells to undergo immunogenic cell death (ICD) induced by the well-designed PEG420-TQ@R837 (PTQ@R) nanoplatform under light irradiation, which in turn enhanced the infiltration of immune cells and the activation of innate immune cells to achieve the first innate immunity activation. The second innate immunity activation was subsequently achieved by drug delivery of R837 via apoptotic bodies (ApoBDs), further enhancing the anti-tumor activity of infiltrated immune cells. Conclusion: The strategy ultimately demonstrated robust innate immunity activation and achieved excellent performance against tumor growth and metastasis. The construction of the relay-type innate immunity activation strategy could provide a new idea for the application of immunotherapy in clinical trials.

Project description:Rationale: A promising dye for phototheranostics, IR-1048 is a near-infrared region II (NIR-II) cyanine dye that exhibits exceptional optical characteristics in NIR-II spectrum. Unfortunately, the biological applications of IR-1048 are challenged by its hydrophobic nature, the formation of face-to-face stacked dimeric aggregates (H-aggregates) that result in pronounced spectral blue shifts, and issues related to fluorescence quenching. Method: We present a novel docking strategy involving bovine serum albumin (BSA) and lactoferrin (Lf) to construct BSA@IR-1048 and Lf@IR-1048 nanoprobes. The NIR-II optical characteristics of these nanoprobes have been thoroughly investigated through both theoretical and experimental approaches. In addition, we conducted in vitro and in vivo evaluations of their NIR-II photothermal and photodynamic properties, multimodal imaging capabilities, and effectiveness in photoimmunotherapy. Results: Following the protein docking process, both BSA@IR-1048 and Lf@IR-1048 probes exhibited a red-shifted absorbance peak and an "ON" state in NIR-II fluorescence. Theoretical analyses alongside experimental results indicate that Lf@IR-1048, which has a higher docking binding energy of -10.83 kcal/mol, significantly enhances optical characteristics in the NIR-II region. Notably, when utilizing a single NIR-II light source, Lf@IR-1048 was effective in producing single-linear state oxygen and converting photons into heat energy, achieving a photo-thermal conversion efficiency of 41.9%. The overexpression of transferrin receptors in tumor cells also improved tumor-targeting and enrichment capabilities of Lf@IR-1048, as demonstrated vitro and in vivo studies. Comparatively, Lf@IR-1048 facilitated multimodal imaging-guided NIR-II phototherapy, showing an impressive tumor development inhibition rate of 94.8%. Furthermore, in bilateral CT26 tumor-bearing mice, the Lf@IR-1048-based photo-immunotherapy exhibited significant antitumor activity, attributed to enhanced dendritic cell maturation and infiltration of cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Conclusion: Lf@IR-1048 displays a powerful combination of photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, and tumor-targeting potential for effective multimodal imaging-guided NIR-II phototherapy, leading to substantial inhibition of tumor growth.
