Abstract

Mononuclear phagocytes (MPs) are vital components of host immune defenses against Cancer. However, tumor-infiltrating MPs often present tolerogenic and pro-tumorigenic phenotypes via metabolic switching triggered by excessive lipid accumulation in solid tumors. Inspired by viral infection-mediated MP modulation, here enveloped immunometabolic nanoparticles (immeNPs) are designed to co-deliver a viral RNA analog and a fatty acid oxidation regulator for synergistic reshaping of intratumoral MPs. These immeNPs are camouflaged with Cancer cell membranes for tumor homing and opsonized with anti-CD163 Antibodies for specific MP recognition and uptake. It is found that internalized immeNPs coordinate lipid metabolic reprogramming with innate immune stimulation, inducing M2-to-M1 macrophage repolarization and tolerogenic-to-immunogenic dendritic cell differentiation for cytotoxic T cell infiltration. The authors further demonstrate that the use of immeNPs confers susceptibility to anti-PD-1 therapy in Immune Checkpoint blockade-resistant breast and ovarian tumors, and thereby provide a promising strategy to expand the potential of conventional immunotherapy.
