Abstract

Programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) blockade has achieved great success in cancer immunotherapy. PD-L1 siRNA can restore the immune anti-tumor activity of T cells by downregulating the level of PD-L1 on tumor cells, but the efficiency of PD-1/PD-L1 monotherapy is relatively low. Doxorubicin (DOX) can induce tumor cell apoptosis, and then increase the release of tumor antigen. But the expression of PD-L1 in tumor tissues treated with DOX will be enhanced adaptively. Therefore, DOX combination with PD-L1 siRNA can produce a good synergistic anti-tumor effect. In this study, stem cell membrane (SCM) camouflaged polydopamine nanoparticles carrying DOX and PD-L1 siRNA (PDA-DOX/siPD-L1@SCM) were constructed for targeting prostate cancer (PCa) bone metastases. PDA-DOX/siPD-L1@SCM NPs could effectively enhance blood retention and improve accumulation at tumor sites. In vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated that PDA-DOX/siPD-L1@SCM NPs showed excellent performance in synergistic chemoimmunotherapy for PCa bone metastases. Hence, this study provided an effective strategy for developing biomimetic multifunctional nanoparticles for PCa bone metastasis treatment.
