Popis: Compared to the activation of acquired immunity by the immune checkpoint blockade, the activation of innate immunity via anti-phagocytosis checkpoint blockade could significantly increase the beneficiary population of immunotherapy. However, the activation of innate immunity and the occurrence of phagocytosis are only accomplished when the interaction between pro-phagocytosis signals and anti-phagocytosis signals is realized. Herein, a versatile nanoplatform (DHMR) based on mesoporous silicon nanoparticles (MSNPs) has been constructed. Two drugs, doxorubicin, a chemotherapeutic drug which could initiate tumor cells to release pro-phagocytosis signals, and RRx-001, an immunoadjuvant that could effectively implement the anti-phagocytosis checkpoint blockade, were loaded in MSNPs. Further decoration of hyaluronic acid encapsulation endows DHMR with the function of tumor targeting and long circulation. Ultimately, the DHMR system could efficiently and accurately target tumor tissue, release the drugs in the tumor microenvironment, achieve the activation of innate immunity, and finally dramatically inhibit the growth and metastasis of tumor cells.
