Antibody-activated trans-endothelial delivery of mesoporous organosilica nanomedicine augments tumor extravasation and anti-cancer immunotherapy.

ABSTRACT: Tumor vasculature constitutes a formidable hurdle for the efficient delivery of cancer nanomedicine into tumors. The leverage of passive pathway through inter-endothelial gaps in tumor blood vessels might account for limited extravasation of nanomedicine into tumor microenvironment (TME). Herein, Annexin A1 antibody-installed mesoporous organosilica nanoplatforms carrying immunotherapeutics of anti-PD-L1 antibody (aPD-L1) and Indoximod are developed to target at caveolar Annexin-A1 protein of luminal endothelial cells and to trigger the active trans-endothelial transcytosis of nanomedicine mediated by caveolae. Such strategy enables rapid nanomedicine extravasation across tumor endothelium and relatively extensive accumulation in tumor interstitium. aPD-L1 and Indoximod release from aPD/IND@MON-aANN in a reduction-responsive manner and synergistically facilitate the intratumoral infiltration of cytotoxic T lymphocytes and reverse the immunosuppressive TME, thus demonstrating substantial anti-tumor efficacy in subcutaneous 4T1 breast tumors and remarkable anti-metastatic capacity to extend the survival of 4T1 tumor metastasis model. Moreover, aPD/IND@MON-aANN nanomedicine also exhibits distinct superiority over the combination therapy of free drugs to potently attenuate the progression of urethane-induced orthotopic lung cancers. Collectively, aPD/IND@MON-aANN nanoplatforms with boosted delivery efficiency via antibody-activated trans-endothelial pathway and enhanced immunotherapeutic efficacy provides perspectives for the development of cancer nanomedicines.
