Th17/Treg imbalance is closely related to the occurrence and development of multiple sclerosis (MS), and the transdifferentiation of Th17 cells into Treg cells may contribute to the resolution of inflammation, presenting a therapeutic strategy for MS. To modulate this phenotypic shift in situ, we report a "Trojan horse"-like hybrid system, nanocapsule-coupled Th17 cells, for MS treatment. Following intravenous injection into MS mice, the hybrid system efficiently transmigrated across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and homed to the inflamed MS niche. Aminooxy-acetic acid (AOA), a transdifferentiation inducer, was locally released upon the production of ROS and in turn taken up by Th17 cells. We demonstrated that the Trojan horse hybrid system enabled in situ phenotypic transdifferentiation of Th17 cells into anti-inflammatory Treg cells. This phenotypic conversion led to a domino-like immune response that was conducive to MS therapy. Overall, this work highlights a new pathway for accurate modulation of the phenotypes of adoptively transferred cells in situ, from proinflammatory to anti-inflammatory for MS therapy, and may be broadly applicable for patients suffering from other autoimmune diseases.
