Abstract

Abstract: Cancer immunotherapy is revolutionary in oncology and hematology. However, a low response rate restricts the clinical benefits of this therapy owing to inadequate T lymphocyte infiltration and low delivery efficiency of immunotherapeutic drugs. Herein, an intelligent nanovehicle (folic acid (FA)/1‐(4‐(aminomethyl) benzyl)‐2‐butyl‐1H‐imidazo[4, 5‐c]quinolin‐4‐amine (IMDQ)‐oxaliplatin (F/IMO)@CuS) armed with multifunctional navigation is designed for the accurate delivery of cargoes to tumor cells and dendritic cells (DCs), respectively. The nanovehicle is based on a near infrared‐responsive inorganic CuS nanoparticles, acting as a photosensitizer and carrier of the chemotherapeutic agent oxaliplatin, and enters tumor cells owing to the presence of folic acid on the surface of CuS upon intratumoral injection. Furthermore, a toll‐like receptor (TLR) 7/8 agonist‐conjugated polymer, anchored on the surface of CuS, is modified with mannose to bind with DCs in the tumor microenvironment. Upon exposure to laser irradiation, nanovehicles disassemble, releasing oxaliplatin, to ablate tumor cells and amplify immunogenic cell death in combination with photothermal therapy. Mannose‐modified polymer‐TLR7/8 agonist conjugates are subsequently exposed, leading to the activation of DCs and proliferation of T cells. Collectively, these intelligent nanovehicles reduce tumor burden, exert a robust antitumor immune response, and generate long‐term immune protection to prevent tumor recurrence. Abstract : To enhance the T lymphocyte infiltration in the tumor environment, an intelligent nanovehicle (folic acid (FA)/1‐(4‐(aminomethyl) benzyl)‐2‐butyl‐1H‐imidazo[4, 5‐c]quinolin‐4‐amine (IMDQ)‐oxaliplatin (F/IMO)@CuS) armed with multifunctional navigation is fabricated for the precise delivery of therapeutic compounds to tumor cells and dendritic cells, respectively. Upon intratumoral injection, this nanovehicle reduces the tumor burden, exerts a robust antitumor immune response, and generates long‐term immune protection to prevent tumor recurrence.
