ABSTRACT
Phototherapy promotes anti-tumor immunity by inducing immunogenic cell death (ICD), However, the accompanying inflammatory responses also trigger immunosuppression, attenuating the efficacy of photo-immunotherapy. Herein, they co-assembled a cell-membrane targeting chimeric peptide C16-Cypate-RRKK-PEG8-COOH (CCP) and anti-inflammatory diclofenac (DA) to develop a nanodrug (CCP@DA) that both enhances the immune effect of phototherapy and weakens the inflammation-mediated immunosuppression. CCP@DA achieves cell membrane-targeting photodynamic and photothermal synergistic therapies to damage programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) and induce a strong ICD to activate anti-tumor response. Simultaneously, the released DA inhibits the cycoperoxidase-2 (COX-2)/prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) pathway in tumor cells to inhibit pro-tumor inflammation and further down-regulate PD-L1 expression to relieve the immunosuppressive microenvironment. CCP@DA significantly inhibited tumor growth and inflammation both in vitro and in vivo, while maintaining a potent anti-tumor immune response. Additionally, it exhibits excellent anti-metastatic capabilities and prolongs mouse survival time with a single dose and low levels of near-infrared (NIR) light exposure. This work provides a valuable strategy to control the therapy-induced inflammation for high-efficiency photoimmunotherapy.
