摘要
The rise of nanotechnology has opened new horizons for cancer immunotherapy.However,most nano vaccines fabricated with nanomaterials suffer from carrier-related concerns,including low drug loading capacity,unpredictable metabolism,and potential systemic toxicity,which bring obstacles for their clinical translation.Herein,we developed an antigen self-assembled nanovaccine,which was resulted from a simple acryloyl modification of the antigen to induce self-assembly.Furthermore,a dendritic cell targeting head mannose monomer and a mevalonate pathway inhibitor zoledronic acid(Zol)were integrated or absorbed onto the nanoparticles(denoted as MEAO-Z)to intensify the immune response.The synthesized nano vaccine with a diameter of around 70 nm showed successful lymph node transportation,high dendritic cell internalization,promoted costimulatory molecule expression,and preferable antigen cross-presentation.In virtue of the above superiorities,MEAO-Z induced remarkably higher titers of serum antibody,stronger cytotoxic T lymphocyte immune responses and IFN-γsecretion than free antigen and adjuvants.In vivo,MEAO-Z significantly suppressed EG7-OVA tumor groth and prolonged the survival time of tumor-bearing mice.These results indicated the translation promise of our self-assembled nano vaccine for immune potentiation and cancer immunotherapy.
