Fabrication of RIG-I-Activating Nanoparticles for Intratumoral Immunotherapy via Flash Nanoprecipitation.

ABSTRACT: Intratumoral immunotherapy is a promising strategy for stimulating local and systemic antitumor immunity while eliminating or reducing immune-related adverse events often attendant to systemic administration. Activation of the cytosolic pattern recognition receptor retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I) at tumor sites stimulates innate immunity that can potentiate a T cell-dependent adaptive antitumor immune response. However, the activity and efficacy of 5'-triphosphate RNA (3pRNA) agonists of RIG-I are hindered by poor in vivo stability, rapid degradation, limited cellular uptake, and inefficient cytosolic delivery. To overcome these challenges, we developed RIG-I-activating nanoparticles (RANs) assembled using a flash nanoprecipitation (FNP) process to load a potent stem-loop 3pRNA (SLR
