To ameliorate such a situation, we rationally designed and prepared cascade two-stage re-oxygenation and immune re-sensitization BSA-MHI148@SRF nanoparticles via hydrophilic and hydrophobic self-assembly strategy by using near-infrared photodynamic dye MHI148 chemically modified bovine serum albumin(BSA-MHI148) and multi-kinase inhibitor Sorafenib(SRF) as a novel tumor oxygen and immune microenvironment regulation drug. Benefiting from the accumulation of SRF in tumors, BSA-MHI148@SRF nanoparticles dramatically enhanced the PDT efficacy by promoting cascade two-stage tumor re-oxygenation mechanisms:(i) SRF decreased tumor oxygen consumption via inhibiting mitochondria respiratory.(ii) SRF increased the oxygen supply via inducing tumor vessel normalization. Meanwhile, the immunosuppression micro-environment was also obviously reversed by two-stage immune re-sensitization as follows:(i) Enhanced immunogenic cell death(ICD) production amplified by BSA-MHI148@SRF induced reactive oxygen species(ROS) generation enhanced T cell infiltration and improve its tumor cell killing ability.(ii) BSA-MHI148@SRF amplified tumor vessel normalization by VEGF inhibition also obviously reversed the tumor immune-suppression microenvironment. Finally, the growth of solid tumors was significantly depressed by such well-designed BSAMHI148@SRF nanoparticles, which could be potential for clinical cancer therapy.展开更多
