A Coordinative Modular Assembly-Constructed Self-Reinforced Nano-Therapeutic Agent for Effective Antitumor-Immune Activation.

Immunosuppressive microenvironment and poor immunogenicity are two stumbling blocks in anti-tumor immune activation. Tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) play crucial roles in immunosuppressive microenvironment, while immunogenic cell death (ICD) is a typical strategy to boost immunogenicity. Herein, we developed a coordinative modular assembly-based self-reinforced nanoparticle, (CaO2/TA)-(Fe3+/BSA) which integrated CaO2, Fe3+-tannic acid coordinated networks and albumin under the instruction of molecular dynamics simulation. (CaO2/TA)-(Fe3+/BSA) could significantly enhance Fenton reaction through Fe3+ self-reduction and H2O2 self-sufficiency, and simultaneously increased intracellular accumulation of Ca2+. The self-augmented Fenton reaction with sufficient reactive oxygen species effectively repolarized TAMs and elicited ICD with Ca2+ overload. Besides, (CaO2/TA)-(Fe3+/BSA) was confirmed to self-reinforce deep tumor drug delivery by "treatment-delivery" positive feedback based on gp60-mediated transcytosis and M2-like macrophages repolarization-mediated perfusion promotion. Resultantly, (CaO2/TA)-(Fe3+/BSA) effectively alleviated immunosuppression, provoked local and systemic immune response and potentiated anti-PD-1 antibody therapy. Our strategy highlights a facile and controllable approach to construct penetrated effective antitumor nano-immunotherapeutic agent.
