Targeting Ibrutinib to Tumor-Infiltrating T Cells with a Sialic Acid Conjugate-Modified Phospholipid Complex for Improved Tumor Immunotherapy
MOLECULAR PHARMACEUTICS(2023)
摘要
Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) treatment for the clinical therapy of numerous malignancies has attracted widespread attention in recent years. Despite being a promising treatment option, developing complementary strategies to enhance the proportion of patients benefiting from ICB therapy remains a formidable challenge because of the complexity of the tumor microenvironment. Ibrutinib (IBR), a covalent inhibitor of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK), has been approved as a clinical therapy for numerous B-cell malignancies. IBR also irreversibly inhibits interleukin-2 inducible T cell kinase (ITK), an essential enzyme in Th2-polarized T cells that participates in tumor immunosup-pression. Ablation of ITK by IBR can elicit Th1-dominant antitumor immune responses and potentially enhance the efficacy of ICB therapy in solid tumors. However, its poor solubility and rapid clearance in vivo restrict T cell targetability and tumor accumulation by IBR. A sialic acid derivative-modified nanocomplex (SA-GA-OCT@PC) has been reported to improve the efficacy of IBR-mediated combination immunotherapy in solid tumors. In vitro and in vivo experiments showed that SA-GA-OCT@PC effectively accumulated in tumor-infiltrating T cells mediated by Siglec-E and induced Th1-dominant antitumor immune responses. SA-GA-OCT@PC-mediated combination therapy with PD-L1 blockade agents dramatically suppressed tumor growth and inhibited tumor relapse in B16F10 melanoma mouse models. Overall, the combination of the SA-modified nanocomplex platform and PD-L1 blockade offers a treatment opportunity for IBR in solid tumors, providing novel insights for tumor immunotherapy.
