Abstrakt: Glioma is a common primary malignant brain tumor with low survival rate. Immunotherapy with immune checkpoints inhibitors (ICI) can be a choice for glioma management, and extracellular vesicles (EVs) are recognized as a potential drug delivery system for various disease management due to their enhanced barrier permeation ability and immunomodulatory effect. The aim of this study is to develop ICI-loaded EVs (ICI/EV) that have sufficient efficacy in managing glioma. Calcium phosphate particles (CaP) were used to stimulate the secretion of EVs from murine macrophage cells. CaP conditioning of cells showed an enhanced amount of EVs secretion and macrophage polarization toward a proinflammatory phenotype. The CaP-induced EVs were shown to polarize macrophages into proinflammatory phenotype in vitro , as correlated with the conditioning method. ICI/EVs were successfully prepared with high loading efficiency using the sonication method. The EVs can be distributed throughout the entire brain upon intranasal administration and facilitate ICIs distribution into glioma lesion. Combinatory treatment with ICI/EVs showed benefit in glioma-bearing mice by reducing their tumor volume and prolonging their survival. Cytotoxic T cell infiltration, polarization of tumor-associated macrophage, and lower tumor proliferation were observed in ICI/EVs-treated mice. The developed ICI/EVs showed promise in immunotherapeutic management of glioma.
