Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive malignancy of central nervous system. Despite advances in standard treatments such as surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, patients have a very poor prognosis. Tumor vaccines based on dendritic cells (DCs) provide promising new approach for GBM treatment. DCs, effective antigen-presenting cells, initiate adaptive immune responses by activating tumor-specific T cells. However, immunosuppressive microenvironment (characterized regulatory myeloid suppressor factors) physical barrier blood-brain (BBB) greatly limit efficacy DC vaccines. This chapter explores biological basis, preparation process, clinical progress, challenges, future directions DC-based Key aspects antigen selection, vitro culture activation, loading, delivery strategies are analyzed detail. Early trials demonstrated safety potential vaccines, while combination therapies reprogramming being used to overcome existing obstacles. precision personalization highlight their focus immunotherapy research. We believe that with continuous advancement technology interdisciplinary collaboration, can significantly improve survival rate quality life patients.

The immune response in cancer reflects a series of carefully regulated events; however, current tumor immunotherapies typically address single key aspect to enhance anti-tumor immunity. In the present study, nanoplatform (Fe3 O4 @IR820@CpG)-based immunotherapy strategy that targets multiple steps cancer-immunity cycle is developed: 1) promotes release tumor-derived proteins (TDPs), including tumor-associated antigens and pro-immunostimulatory factors), addition direct killing effect, by photothermal (PTT) photodynamic therapy (PDT); 2) captures released TDPs delivers them, together with CpG (a Toll-like receptor 9 agonist) antigen-presenting cells (APCs) promote antigen presentation T cell activation; 3) enhances tumor-killing ability combining anti-programmed death ligand 1 antibody (α-PD-L1), which collectively advances outstanding effects on colorectal, liver breast cancers. broad-spectrum activity Fe3 @IR820@CpG α-PD-L1 demonstrates optimally manipulating anti-cancer immunity not singly but as group provides promising clinical strategies.

Tumor vaccines, an important part of immunotherapy, prevent cancer or kill existing tumor cells by activating restoring the body's own immune system. Currently, various formulations vaccines have been developed, including cell membrane DNA mRNA polypeptide virus-vectored and tumor-in-situ vaccines. There are also multiple delivery systems for such as liposomes, vesicles, viruses, exosomes, emulsions. In addition, to decrease risk escape tolerance that may exist with a single vaccine, combination therapy radiotherapy, chemotherapy, checkpoint inhibitors, cytokines, CAR-T therapy, photoimmunotherapy is effective strategy.

Interferon gamma (IFNγ) is well-known for its ability to stimulate immune cells in response pathogen infections and cancer. To develop an effective cancer therapeutic vaccine, CT26 colon carcinoma were genetically modified express IFNγ either as a secreted form (sIFNγ) or membrane-bound form. For the expression, was fused with Fas (mbIFNγ/Fas), incorporating extracellular cysteine-rich domains, transmembrane, cytoplasmic domains of Fas. The tumor expressing sIFNγ mbIFNγ/Fas showed slower growth rates compared mock-transfected cells. Furthermore, tumorigenicity significantly lower than that mock control. Remarkably, about 85% mice injected mbIFNγ/Fas-expressing tumors remained tumor-free over two months. Mice rejected developed systemic anti-tumor immunity against cells, which characterized by enhanced levels CD4+ CD8+ T well natural killer (NK) Interestingly, splenocytes activated exhibited higher cytotoxicity those sIFNγ.

Abstract Using entire tumor cells or tissues that display both common and patient‐specific antigens can potentially trigger a comprehensive long‐lasting anti‐tumor immune response. However, the limited immunogenicity, low uptake efficiency, susceptibility to degradation of whole‐component present significant challenges. In this study, we employed lysates (TLs) as antigens, in conjunction with MgAl‐layered double hydroxide (MA) nanoadjuvants Mn 2+ immunostimulants, create personalized MMAT (Mn ‐MA‐TLs) nanovaccines. After subcutaneous injection nanovaccines, high local concentrations TLs facilitated recruitment activation antigen‐presenting (APCs), thereby inducing robust adaptive Remarkably, nanovaccines enabled lysosomal escape, enhanced antigen cross‐presentation, activated cyclic GMP‐AMP synthase (cGAS)‐stimulator interferon genes (STING) pathway APCs.
