Abstract

Dendritic cells (DCs) constitute a distinct type of immune cell found within tumors, serving a central role in mediating tumor antigen-specific immunity against cancer cells. Frequently, DC functions are dysregulated by the immunosuppressive signals present within the tumor microenvironment (TME). Consequently, DC manipulation holds great potential to enhance the cytotoxic T cell response against cancer diseases. One strategy involves administering Fms-like tyrosine kinase receptor 3 ligand (Flt3L), a vitally important cytokine for DC development. In this current study, the electroporation-mediated delivery of a novel albumin-fused Flt3L DNA (alb-Flt3L DNA) demonstrated the ability to induce an anti-tumor immune response. This albumin fusion construct possesses more persistent bioactivity in targeted organs. Furthermore, TC-1-bearing-C57BL/6 mice receiving alb-Flt3L DNA treatment presented better tumor control and superior survival. Cellular analysis revealed that alb-Flt3L DNA administration promoted robust DC and cDC1 expansion. In addition, increased levels of IFN-γ-secreting CD8⁺ lymphocytes were found in correlation to greater cDC1 population. Moreover, the toxicity of alb-Flt3L administration is limited. Collectively, our data showcases a novel DC-based immunotherapy using electroporation to administer alb-Flt3L DNA.

电穿孔介导的新型白蛋白融合 Flt3L DNA 递送可促进 cDC1 相关的抗癌免疫。

树突状细胞（DC）是肿瘤内一种独特的免疫细胞，在介导针对癌细胞的肿瘤抗原特异性免疫中发挥着核心作用。肿瘤微环境（TME）中存在的免疫抑制信号经常会导致树突状细胞功能失调。因此，操纵直流电具有增强细胞毒性 T 细胞对癌症疾病反应的巨大潜力。其中一种策略是施用Fms样酪氨酸激酶受体3配体（Flt3L），这是一种对DC发育至关重要的细胞因子。在目前的研究中，电穿孔介导的新型白蛋白融合 Flt3L DNA（alb-Flt3L DNA）递送证明了诱导抗肿瘤免疫反应的能力。这种白蛋白融合构建体在靶器官中具有更持久的生物活性。此外，接受 alb-Flt3L DNA 治疗的 TC-1-C57BL/6 小鼠的肿瘤控制率更高，存活率更高。细胞分析表明，alb-Flt3L DNA 能促进 DC 和 cDC1 的扩增。此外，分泌 IFN-γ 的 CD8+ 淋巴细胞水平的增加与 cDC1 数量的增加相关。此外，施用 alb-Flt3L 的毒性有限。总之，我们的数据展示了一种新型的基于直流电的免疫疗法，它利用电穿孔技术给药 alb-Flt3L DNA。
