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