Dendritic cells (DCs) serve as professional antigen-presenting (APC) bridging innate and adaptive immunity, playing an essential role in triggering specific cellular humoral responses against tumor infectious antigens. Consequently, various DC-based antitumor therapeutic strategies have been developed, particularly vaccines, intensively investigated specifically the context of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This hematological malignancy mainly affects elderly population (those aged over 65), which usually presents a high rate failure unfavorable prognosis. In this review, we examine current state development progress vaccines AML. The findings evidence possible administration adjuvant treatment AML following initial therapy. Furthermore, therapy demonstrates promising outcomes preventing or delaying relapse exhibits synergistic effects when combined with other treatments during relapses disease progression. On hand, remarkable success observed RNA for COVID-19, delivered lipid nanoparticles, has revealed efficacy effectiveness these types vectors, prompting further exploration their potential application AML, well neoplasms, loading them RNA.

Messenger RNA (mRNA) therapy has been applied to the treatment of various human diseases including malignant tumors. Increasing evidences have shown that mRNA can enhance efficacy cancer immunotherapy by modulating functions immune cells and stimulating their activity. However, is a type negatively charged biomacromolecules are susceptible serum nucleases cannot readily cross cell membrane. In past few decades, nanoparticles (NPs)-based delivery systems rationally designed developed facilitate intracellular uptake cytosolic mRNA. More importantly, means specific recognition between targeting ligands decorated on NP surface receptors specifically expressed cells, these could be functionalized target further mRNA-based immunotherapy. this review, we briefly introduced advancements in therapy, discussed challenges faced delivery, systematically summarized recent development NPs-based types for The future NPs-mediated targeted clinical translation also discussed.

Abstract Intranasal delivery of mRNA vaccines offers promising opportunities to combat airborne viruses like SARS‐CoV‐2 by provoking mucosal immunity, which not only defends against respiratory infection but also prevents contagious transmission. However, the development nasal has been hampered lack effective means overcome mucus barrier. Herein, ionizable lipid‐incorporated liquid lipid nanoparticles (iLLNs) capable delivering cargo across airway mucosa are designed. Adjusting ratios and cationic lipids allows fine‐tuning p K a iLLNs range pH (5.5–6.5), thus facilitating penetration via formation near‐neutral, PEGylated muco‐inert surfaces. When nasally administered mice, top candidate iLLN‐2/mRNA complexes enable about 60‐fold greater reporter gene expression in cavity, compared benchmark mRNA‐lipid (ALC‐LNP) having same composition as that BNT162b2 vaccine. Moreover, prime‐boost intranasal immunization elicits magnitude spike‐specific IgA IgG response than ALC‐LNP, without triggering any noticeable inflammatory reactions. Taken together, these results provide useful insights for design deliverable formulations prophylactic applications.
