A Single-atom Manganese Nanozyme Mn-N/C Promotes Anti-tumor Immune Response via Eliciting Type I Interferon Signaling

ABSTRACT: Tumor microenvironment (TME)-induced nanocatalytic therapy is a promising strategy for cancer treatment, but the low catalytic efficiency limits its therapeutic efficacy. Single-atom catalysts (SACs) are a new type of nanozyme with incredible catalytic efficiency. Here we construct a single-atom manganese (Mn)-N/C nanozyme. Mn-N/C catalyzes the conversion of cellular H2O2 to ∙OH through a Fenton-like reaction and enables the sufficient generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which induces immunogenic cell death (ICD) of tumor cells and significantly promotes CD8+T anti-tumor immunity. Moreover, RNA sequencing reveals that Mn-N/C treatment activates type I interferon (IFN) signaling which is critical for Mn-N/C-mediated anti-tumor immune response. Mechanistically, Mn-N/C-triggered releasing of cytosolic DNA from ICD tumor cells activates cGAS-STING pathway, consequently stimulating type I IFN induction. We propose a new promising single-atom nanozyme with extraordinary catalytic activity, which enhances anti-tumor immune response and exhibits synergistic therapeutic effects when combined with anti-PD-L1 blockade.

Project description:Immunogenic cell death (ICD) in cancer represents a functionally unique therapeutic response that can induce tumor-targeting immune responses. ICD is characterized by the exposure and release of numerous damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), which confer adjuvanticity to dying cancer cells. The spatiotemporally defined emission of DAMPs during ICD has been well described; whereas the epigenetic mechanisms that regulate ICD hallmarks have not yet been deeply elucidated. Here, we aimed to examine the involvement of miRNAs and their putative targets taking advantage from well-established in vitro models of ICD. To this end, B cell lymphoma (Mino) and breast cancer (MDA-MB-231) cell lines were exposed to two different ICD inducers: the combination of retinoic acid (RA) and interferon-alpha (IFN-a) and doxorubicin, and to non ICD inducers like gamma irradiation. Then, miRNA and mRNA profiles were studied by next generation sequencing. Co-expression analysis identified 16 miRNAs differentially modulated in cells subjected to ICD. Integrated miRNA-mRNA functional analysis revealed candidate miRNAs, mRNAs, and modulated pathways associated with Immune System Process (GO Term). In this sense, ICD induced a distinctive transcriptional signature hallmarked by regulation of antigen presentation, a crucial step for a proper immune system antitumor response activation. Interestingly, the major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) pathway was upregulated whereas class II (MHC-II) was downregulated. Analysis of MHC-II associated transcripts and HLA-DR surface expression validated the inhibition of this pathway by ICD on lymphoma cells. miR-4284 and miR-212-3p were the strongest miRNAs upregulated by ICD associated with this event. It is well known that MHC-II expression on tumor cells facilitates the recruitment of CD4+ T cells. However, the interaction between tumor MHC-II and the inhibitory co-receptor LAG-3 on tumor-associated lymphocytes could provide an immunosuppressive signal that directly represses effector cytotoxic activity. In this context, MHC-II downregulation by ICD could enhance antitumor immunity. Overall, we found that the miRNA profile was significantly altered during ICD. Several miRNAs are predicted to be involved in the regulation of Class I and II MHC pathway, whose implication in ICD was demonstrated herein for the first time, which could eventually modulate tumor recognition and attack by the immune system.
