Abstrakt: Photothermal therapy (PTT) is a promising technology that can achieve the thermal ablation of tumors and induce immunogenic cell death (ICD). However, relying solely on the antitumor immune responses caused by PTT-induced ICD is insufficient to suppress tumor metastasis and recurrence effectively. Fortunately, multifunctional nanoformulation-based synergistic photothermal immunotherapy can eliminate primary and metastatic tumors and inhibit tumor recurrence for a long time. Herein, we select polydopamine (PDA) nanoparticles to serve as the carrier for our nanomedicine as well as a potent photothermal agent and modulator of macrophage polarization. PDA nanoparticles are loaded with the insoluble immune adjuvant Imiquimod (R837) to construct PDA(R837) nanoformulations. These straightforward yet highly effective nanoformulations demonstrate excellent performance, allowing for successful triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) treatment through synergistic photothermal immunotherapy. Moreover, experimental results showed that PDA(R837) implementation of PTT is effective in the thermal ablation of primary tumors while causing ICD and releasing R837, further promoting dendritic cell (DC) maturation and activating the systemic antitumor immune response. Furthermore, PDA(R837) nanoformulations inhibit tumor metastasis and recurrence and achieve M1 phenotype macrophage polarization, achieving long-term and excellent antitumor efficacy. Therefore, the structurally simple PDA(R837) nanoformulations provide cancer treatment and have excellent clinical translational application prospects.
