ABSTRACT
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) can destroy local tumors and minimize normal tissue damage, but is ineffective at eliminating metastases. Checkpoint blockade immunotherapy has enjoyed recent success in the clinic, but only elicits limited rates of systemic antitumor response for most cancers due to insufficient activation of the host immune system. Here we describe a treatment strategy that combines PDT by a new chlorin-based nanoscale metal-organic framework (nMOF), TBC-Hf, and a small-molecule immunotherapy agent that inhibits indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), encapsulated in the nMOF channels to induce systemic antitumor immunity. The synergistic combination therapy achieved effective local and distant tumor rejection in colorectal cancer models. We detected increased T cell infiltration in the tumor microenvironment after activation of the immune system with the combination of IDO inhibition by the small-molecule immunotherapy agent and immunogenic cell death induced by PDT. We also elucidated the underlying immunological mechanisms and revealed compensatory roles of neutrophils and B cells in presenting tumor-associated antigens to T cells in this combination therapy. We believe that nMOF-enabled PDT has the potential to significantly enhance checkpoint blockade cancer immunotherapy, affording clinical benefits for the treatment of many difficult-to-treat cancers.
