Abstract Cancer immunotherapy and vaccine development have significantly improved the fight against cancers. Despite these advancements, challenges remain, particularly in clinical delivery of immunomodulatory compounds. The tumor microenvironment (TME), comprising macrophages, fibroblasts, immune cells, plays a crucial role response modulation. Nanoparticles, engineered to reshape TME, shown promising results enhancing by facilitating targeted These nanoparticles can suppress fibroblast activation, promote M1 macrophage polarization, aid dendritic cell maturation, encourage T infiltration. Biomimetic further enhance increasing internalization agents cells such as cells. Moreover, exosomes, whether naturally secreted body or bioengineered, been explored regulate TME immune-related affect cancer immunotherapy. Stimuli-responsive nanocarriers, activated pH, redox, light conditions, exhibit potential accelerate co-application with checkpoint inhibitors is an emerging strategy boost anti-tumor immunity.

The polarization of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) from M2 to M1 phenotype demonstrates great potential for remodeling the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). d-lactate (DL; a gut microbiome metabolite) acts as an endogenous immunomodulatory agent that enhances Kupffer cells clearance pathogens. In this study, DL transformation TAMs was confirmed, and mechanisms underlying such were mainly due modulation phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B pathway. A poly(lactide-co-glycolide) nanoparticle (NP) used load DL, DL-loaded NP modified with HCC membrane macrophage-binding peptide (M2pep), forming nanoformulation (DL@NP-M-M2pep). DL@NP-M-M2pep transformed remodeled TME in mice, promoting efficacy anti-CD47 antibody long-term animal survival.

Radiotherapy (RT) uses ionizing radiation to eradicate localized tumors and, in rare cases, control outside of the irradiated fields via stimulating an antitumor immune response (abscopal effect). However, therapeutic effect RT is often limited by inherent physiological barriers tumor microenvironment (TME), such as hypoxia, abnormal vasculature, dense extracellular matrix (ECM), and immunosuppressive TME. Thus, it critical develop new strategies that can remodel TME overcome radio-resistance suppression.

Subsequently, agonist SR-717 was loaded into porous structure obtain SR@PMOF which show excellent stability under physiological conditions. After intravenous injection accumulation, light irradiation on sites results in efficient singlet oxygen (1O2) production from TCPP cellular apoptosis release fragmented DNA tumor-associated antigens. Simultaneously, bonds can be broken 1O2 destroy rapidly SR717.
