- Abstract
- Despite the clinically proven efficacies of immune checkpoint blockades, including anti-cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated protein 4 antibody (alpha CTLA-4), the low response rate and immune-related adverse events (irAEs) in cancer patients represent major drawbacks of the therapy. These drawbacks of alpha CTLA-4 therapy are mainly due to the suboptimal activation of tumor-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) and the systemic nonspecific activation of T cells. To overcome such drawbacks, alpha CTLA-4 is delivered by dendritic cell-derived nanovesicles presenting tumor antigens (DCNV-TAs) that exclusively interact with tumor-specific T cells, leading to selective activation of tumor-specific CTLs. Compared to conventional alpha CTLA-4 therapy, treatment with alpha CTLA-4-conjugated DCNV-TAs significantly inhibits tumor growth and reduces irAEs in syngeneic tumor-bearing mice. This study demonstrates that the spatiotemporal presentation of both alpha CTLA-4 and tumor antigens enables selective activation of tumor-specific T cells and potentiates the antitumor efficacy of alpha CTLA-4 without inducing systemic irAEs.
