Abstract Cancer treatment has witnessed revolutionary advancements marked by the emergence of immunotherapy, specifically immune checkpoint blockade (ICB). However, inherent low immunogenicity tumor cells and intricate immunosuppressive network within microenvironment (TME) pose significant challenges to further development immunotherapy. Nanotechnology ushered in unprecedented opportunities vast prospects for Nevertheless, traditional nano‐formulations often rely on inducing apoptosis kill cancer cells, which encounters issue silencing, hindering effective activation. The non‐apoptotic modes regulated cell death (RCD), including pyroptosis, ferroptosis, autophagy, necroptosis, cuproptosis, have gradually garnered attention. These pathways can induce immunogenic (ICD), enhancing This review comprehensively explores advanced nano‐formulation design strategies their applications immunotherapy promoting RCD recent years. It also discusses potential advantages these tumor‐specific RCD. By deeply understanding significance synergistic this article provides valuable insights developing more nano‐delivery systems that robustly highly modes, offering novel research avenues address clinical encountered represented ICB.

Copper (Cu) is an indispensable micronutrient that maintains signaling pathways and biological homeostasis in almost all cell types; however, its excess affects the tricarboxylic acid cycle, causes accumulation of fatty acylated proteins, destabilization iron–sulfur cluster increases levels intracellular reactive oxygen species, leading to proteotoxic stress death. Cuproptosis, a form Cu-dependent death, differs from other types regulated death (RCD) was first reported Science 2022. Recently, RCD have been targeted cancer therapy. However, escape apoptosis tumor cells resistance treatment recurrence. Therefore, there urgent need study alternative mechanisms mortality. Compared normal patients, significant increase serum Cu ion has observed patients with tumors. Moreover, proliferation, angiogenesis, metastasis are associated cuproptosis. Thus, exploring related cuproptosis will provide new perspective for development anti-cancer drugs. Importantly, closely modulation anti-tumor immunity. The expression cuproptosis-related genes (CRGs) significantly correlated immune infiltration checkpoint programmed protein 1 (PD-1)/programmed death-ligand (PD-L1). Based on these findings, series drugs used tumor-targeted combination therapy or as synergists. elucidating role per stage microenvironment (TIME) helpful clarifying potential value specific cancers. In this review, we summarize based regulation concentration. two approaches may help researchers develop more therapies targeting pathways. focused effect TIME systematically discussed CRGs immunity considering CRG-related pathways, prognosis scoring system, immunotherapy, experiments bioinformatics prediction models, ideas anticancer

Abstract Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) generates sustained responses in immunogenic cancers, but its effectiveness is limited tumors lacking immune activity. Here, we construct a bioinspired bimetallic ions functionalized nanoscale metal-organic framework (NMOF) single-atom nanozyme (SAzyme) loaded with doxorubicin (Dox) (NMOF-Fe/Cu-Dox nanocomposite) to effectively trigger anti-tumor while addressing the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). The NMOF-Fe/Cu-Dox nanocomposite has been demonstrated efficiently reverse TME by generating reactive oxygen species and oxidizing glutathione. Camouflaging nanocomposites cancer cell membrane (NMOF-Fe/Cu-Dox@M) enables navigation region through homologous targeting. highly efficient uptaken cells selectively induced synergistic ferroptosis cuproptosis these cells. Furthermore, vitro vivo experiments demonstrate that can polarize tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) towards anti-tumoral M1 phenotype significantly diminish pro-tumoral M2 phenotype. We find NMOF-Fe/Cu-Dox@M could induce of macrophages, no effect macrophages. In addition, significant increase infiltrating CD8 + T cells, remarkable decrease CD4 regulatory were observed. These findings suggested modulate TME, enhance tumoricidal immunity elevate therapeutic efficiency ICB. Moreover, combination αPD-1 eradicated hepatocellular carcinoma , outperforming use either or alone. summary, our study presents strategy leverages coordinated ICB, underscoring promise combined chemoimmunotherapy.

Osteosarcoma, a highly aggressive malignant bone tumor, is significantly influenced by the intricate interactions within its tumor microenvironment (TME), particularly involving neutrophils. This review delineates multifaceted roles of neutrophils, including tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs) and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), in osteosarcoma’s pathogenesis. TANs exhibit both pro- anti-tumor phenotypes, modulating growth immune evasion, while NETs facilitate cell adhesion, migration, immunosuppression. Clinically, neutrophil-related markers such as neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) predict patient outcomes, highlighting potential for neutrophil-targeted therapies. Unraveling these complex crucial developing novel treatment strategies that harness TME to improve osteosarcoma management.
