英文摘要
Chemoimmunotherapy is now the hot topic in cancer treatment, and it was reported that neutralizing tumor-promoting inflammation would be benefit for improving the efficacy of chemoimmunotherapy. In this project, a novel “three in one” strategy was proposed, in which cytotoxic drugs Docetaxel (DTX) was used to inhibit or kill tumor cells, Indoximod as an immune checkpoint indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase inhibitor was expected to relieve immune suppression , while Ibrutinib as a Bruton’s tyrosine kinase inhibitor was selected to inhibit the tumor-infiltrating B lymphocytes, thus the immune suppression caused by tumor-promoting inflammation could be relieved. The “one rocket launch three satellites” assembled micelles were creatively designed to accomplish the novel “three in one” strategy. Stepwise-targeting ability is realized due to NGR peptide and GLA could target either tumor tissue or tumor cells, respectively. DTX loaded mini-nanoparticle was firstly prepared by pH sensitive material GLA-CA-PAMAM and achieved the deep penetration into tumor tissue. Meanwhile, Indoximod and Ibrutinib co-loaded hybrid micelles were obtained using pH sensitive materials PLH-PEG-NGR and PLH-PLL as carriers. Subsequently, the creative “one rocket launch three satellites” assembled micelles were formed by combining both mini-nanoparticles and hybrid micelles. All three drugs could be responsively released in sequence in the tumor tissues according to three different pH-sensitive modes, i.e. charge-reverse, protonation and schiff-bond sensitive abscission, respectively. In summary, the creative “one rocket launch three satellites” assembled micelles could integrate the advantages including three drugs co-loading, stepwise-targeting, multi-mode pH-sensitive and deep penetration. Furthermore, the tumor immune inhibitions were relieved in two channels and T cell responses were double reinforced, by means of inhibiting immune checkpoint and neutralizing tumor-promoting inflammation, therefore improve the therapeutic efficacy of prostate cancer. This novel “three in one” strategy would lay the foundation for the clinical development of chemoimmunotherapy.
