Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy, while achieving tremendous clinical successes, still suffers from a low objective response rate in cancer treatment. As proof-of-concept study, we propose new immune degradation (ICD) therapy relying on lysosome-targeting chimera (LYTAC) to deplete programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) the tumor cell surface. Our designed chimeric aptamer one side targets lysosome-trafficking receptor, and other allows biorthogonal covalent-conjugation-reinforced specific binding of PD-L1. This covalent LYTAC is able hijack PD-L1 for lysosomal with greatly improved efficiency over its noncovalent counterpart complex vivo environment. Beyond abolishing PD-1/PD-L1 axis associated resistance, demonstrate first time that LYTAC-triggered could directly cause immunogenic apoptosis cells elicit tumor-specific responses, offering unparalleled advantages ICB antibody therapy. Remarkably, ICD achieves comparable or higher antitumor efficacy causing significantly less inflammatory injury compared antibody-based Moreover, can serve as general platform specifically degrading membrane-associated proteins, making it promising tool future applications. work presents novel molecular effective environments, valuable insights pushing DNA-based drugs toward

Abstract Currently, the typical combination therapy of programmed death ligand‐1 (PD‐L1) antibodies with radiotherapy (RT) still exhibits impaired immunogenic antitumor response in clinical due to lessened DNA damage and acquired immune tolerance via upregulation some other checkpoint inhibitors. Apart from this, such may raise occurrence rate radiation‐induced lung fibrosis (RIPF) enhanced systemic inflammation, leading ultimate cancer patients (average survival time about 3 years). Therefore, it is newly revealed that mitochondria energy metabolism regulation can be used as a novel effective PD‐L1 transforming growth factor‐β (TGF‐β) dual‐downregulation method. Following IR‐TAM prepared by conjugating mitochondria‐targeted heptamethine cyanine dye IR‐68 oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) inhibitor Tamoxifen (TAM), which then self‐assembled albumin (Alb) form IR‐TAM@Alb nanoparticles. By doing tumor‐targeting nanoparticle effectively reversed tumor hypoxia depressed TGF‐β expression sensitize RT.

Some patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) benefit from immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) despite programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression. To address the mechanism of ICI resistance in PD-L1-positive NSCLC, we investigated role tumor-cell-intrinsic function PD-L1 interleukin (IL)-6-mediated immunosuppression.
