Abstract
The precise delivery of multiple drugs to their distinct destinations plays a significant role in safe and efficient combination therapy; however, it is highly challenging to simultaneously realize the targets and overcome the intricate biological hindrances using an all-in-one nanosystem. Herein, a cascade-responsive hierarchical nanosystem containing checkpoint inhibitor anti-PD-L1 antibody (αPD-L1) and paclitaxel (PTX) is developed for spatially programed delivery of multiple drugs and simultaneously overcoming biological pathway barriers. The hierarchical nanoparticles (MPH-NP@A) are composed of pH-sensitive hyaluronic acid-acetal-PTX prodrugs (HA-ace-PTX(SH)) chaperoned by αPD-L1 and metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9)-responsive outer shells, which could be fast cleaved to release αPD-L1 in the tumor microenvironment (TME). The released αPD-L1 sequentially synergizes with PTX released in the cytoplasm for boosted chemoimmunotherapy due to direct killing of PTX and intensified immune responses through immunogenic cell death (ICD) as well as suppression of immune escape by blocking the PD-1/PD-L1 axis. The in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrate that MPH-NP@A evokes distinct ICD, enhanced cytotoxic T lymphocytes infiltration, as well as significant tumor inhibition, thus providing a promising therapeutic nano-platform for safe and efficient combination therapy.
