Abstract: | Anticancer drug-mediated induction of immunogenic cell death (ICD) blocks metastasis or recurrence in cancer cells by promoting specific immune activity against cancer antigens. However, this strategy has failed to afford adequate treatment efficiency. Overcoming the failure of ICD-mediated cancer therapy, lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) containing cancer cell surface proteins are synthesized using sonication and extrusion without microfluidics. In addition, these LNPs are decorated with high-mobility group box 1 protein and calreticulin, indicators of ICD, and named artificial ICD LNPs (AiLNPs). Administration of AiLNPs effectively targets dendritic cells (DCs) and induces DC activation in mice. Moreover, treating CT-26 tumor-bearing mice with AiLNPs inhibits tumor growth by inducing CT-26 antigen-specific T-cell immunity. Furthermore, AiLNPs containing Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC1) membrane proteins can prevent metastatic LLC1 tumor growth in the lung via LLC1 antigen-specific T-cell activation. Finally, AiLNPs synthesized with human breast cancer membrane proteins activate DC-mediated antigen-specific T-cell immunity, effectively killing tumor cells. Therefore, AiLNPs are expected to be developed as a patient-specific cancer treatment to prevent cancer recurrence and metastasis. |
