Abstract

Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) exhibits an exceptionally low responsiveness to immunotherapy due to its “cold” tumor immune microenvironment. It is urgent to design a rational therapy to reverse “cold” tumors into “hot” ones to improve the therapeutic effects. In this study, we developed a series of immune-activating lipo-polylysine (IAPs), designated as IAP-1 to IAP-9, that display both oncolytic and immunogenic cell death (ICD)-inducing activities. It is confirmed that both oncolytic activity and ICD-inducing capacity of IAPs are structure-dependent. Among them, IAP-4 exhibits the most effective oncolytic and ICD-inducing capabilities in 4T1 tumor cells. Mechanistic investigations suggest that IAP-4 can induce cancer cell necrosis through a membrane-lytic mechanism and trigger potent ICD of tumor cells through membrane lysis and mitochondrial damage. In vivo antitumor activity determination results indicate that IAP-4 effectively converses cold tumors to hot by inducing ICD. This process not only inhibits primary tumors but also elicits specific antitumor immune memory, leading to a significant suppression of tumor recurrence and metastasis. Briefly, this work pioneers a promising drug-free strategy for oncolytic immunotherapy.

免疫激活阳离子脂多肽在三阴性乳腺癌溶瘤免疫治疗中的应用
三阴性乳腺癌(TNBC)由于其“冷”肿瘤免疫微环境,对免疫治疗表现出异常低的反应性。迫切需要设计一种合理的治疗方法,将“冷”肿瘤转化为“热”肿瘤,以提高治疗效果。在这项研究中,我们开发了一系列免疫激活型脂聚赖氨酸(IAPs),命名为IAP-1至IAP-9,显示出溶瘤和免疫原性细胞死亡(ICD)诱导活性。研究证实,IAPs的溶瘤活性和诱导icd的能力都是结构依赖的。其中,IAP-4在4T1肿瘤细胞中表现出最有效的溶瘤和诱导icd的能力。机制研究表明,IAP-4可以通过膜裂解机制诱导癌细胞坏死,并通过膜裂解和线粒体损伤触发肿瘤细胞的强效ICD。体内抗肿瘤活性测定结果表明,IAP-4通过诱导ICD有效地将冷肿瘤转化为热肿瘤。这一过程不仅能抑制原发肿瘤,还能引发特异性抗肿瘤免疫记忆,从而显著抑制肿瘤的复发和转移。简而言之,这项工作开创了一种有前途的无药物溶瘤免疫治疗策略。
