Smart responsive Fe/Mn nanovaccine triggers liver cancer immunotherapy via pyroptosis and pyroptosis-boosted cGAS-STING activation

BACKGROUND: The prognosis for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains suboptimal, characterized by high recurrence and metastasis rates. Although metalloimmunotherapy has shown potential in combating tumor proliferation, recurrence and metastasis, current apoptosis-based metalloimmunotherapy fails to elicit sufficient immune response for HCC.

RESULTS: A smart responsive bimetallic nanovaccine was constructed to induce immunogenic cell death (ICD) through pyroptosis and enhance the efficacy of the cGAS-STING pathway. The nanovaccine was composed of manganese-doped mesoporous silica as a carrier, loaded with sorafenib (SOR) and modified with MIL-100 (Fe), where Fe3+, SOR, and Mn2+ were synchronized and released into the tumor with the help of the tumor microenvironment (TME). Afterward, Fe3+ worked synergistically with SOR-induced immunogenic pyroptosis (via both the classical and nonclassical signaling pathways), causing the outflow of abundant immunogenic factors, which contributes to dendritic cell (DC) maturation, and the exposure of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA). Subsequently, the exposed dsDNA and Mn2+ jointly activated the cGAS-STING pathway and induced the release of type I interferons, which further led to DC maturation. Moreover, Mn2+-related T1 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to visually evaluate the smart response functionality of the nanovaccine.

CONCLUSION: The utilization of metallic nanovaccines to induce pyroptosis-mediated immune activation provides a promising paradigm for HCC treatment.
