PG - 250-263 LID - S0168-3659(22)00328-5 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jconrel.2022.05.057 [doi] AB - Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is resistant to current immunotherapy. This poor outcome mainly results from the immunosuppressive characteristics of tumor microenvironment (TME). Accumulating evidence indicates that some chemotherapy agents trigger immunogenic cell death (ICD), providing a promising strategy to remodel the immunosuppressive TME. The role of Plumbagin (PLB, a naphthoquinone compound from Plumbago zeylanica L.) as the ICD inducer for HCC cells was confirmed in this study. Dihydrotanshinone I (DIH, a phenanthraquinone compound of Salvia miltiorrhiza) functioned as the ICD enhancer by generating the reactive oxygen species (ROS). A poly(D,L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)-based nanoparticle (NP) was used to co-encapsulate PLB, DIH and NH(4)HCO(3) (a pH sensitive adjuvant). This NP was further coated with the mannose-inserted erythrocyte membrane to produce a nanoformulation. This nanoformulation significantly increased the half-life and tumor targeting of two drugs in orthotopic HCC mice, generating chemo-immunotherapeutic effects for reversal of immunosuppressive TME. Consequently, the biomimetic nanoformulation loaded with low doses of PLB and DIH achieved significantly longer survival of HCC mice, without causing toxic signs. Our study demonstrates a promising strategy for remodeling the immunosuppressive TME of liver cancer. CI - Copyright (c) 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
