Synergistically enhanced cancer immunotherapy by combining protamine-based nanovaccine with PD-L1 gene silence nanoparticle

Tumor vaccine has brought a new dawn for cancer immunotherapy, but disillusionary therapeutic outcomes have been achieved due to the inefficient in vivo vaccine delivery. Moreover, tumor cells customarily resort to various wily tricks to circumvent the recognition and sweeping of the immune system, the immune escape effect has badly aggravated the difficulty of cancer management. With respect to the foregoing, in this study, a promising combinational strategy which cooperated nanovaccine with immune escape inhibition was developed for synergistically enhancing the oncotherapy efficiency. On the one hand, natural polycationic macromolecule protamine (PRT) was utilized as the carrier to construct an antigen and adjuvant co-packaged nanovaccine for facilitating the ingestion in antigen-presenting cells, amplifying antigen cross-presentation and optimizing in vivo delivery. On the other hand, PD-L1 silence gene was selected and hitchhiked in a pH-responsive nanoparticle developed in our previous study. The therapeutic gene could be successfully delivered into the tumors to down-regulate PD-L1 expression and cripple tumor immune escape. The combination of nanovaccine with PD-L1 gene silence nanoparticle could synchronously stimulate antitumor immune responses and reduce immune escape, synergistically enhance the therapeutic efficiency. This study will furnish the prospective tactics for the research of cancer immunotherapy.
