Abstract | BACKGROUND: RESULTS: The nuclear-targeting delivery system TIR@ siRNA (TIR was the abbreviation of assembled TAT-IR780) with great gene carrier capacity and smaller diameter (< 60 nm) was designed to achieve the gene augmented nuclear-targeting SDT facilitating the anti-PD-L1 (programmed cell death-ligand-1) therapy against colorectal cancer. In CT26 cells, TIR@ siRNA successfully delivered IR780 (the fluorescent dye used as sonosensitizer) into cell nucleus and Nrf2-siRNA into cytoplasm. Under US (utrasound) irradiation, TIR@ siRNA notably increased the cytotoxicity and apoptosis-inducing activity of SDT through down-regulating the Nrf2, directly damaging the DNA, activating mitochondrial apoptotic pathway while remarkably inducing ICD of CT26 cells. In CT26 tumor-bearing mice, TIR@ siRNA mediated gene enhanced nuclear-targeting SDT greatly inhibited tumor growth, noticeably increased the T cell infiltration and boosted DPPA-1 peptide-based anti-PD-L1 therapy to ablate the primary CT26 tumors and suppress the intestinal metastases. CONCLUSIONS: All results demonstrate that TIR@ siRNA under US irradiation can efficiently inhibit the tumor progression toward colorectal CT26 cancer in vitro and in vivo by its mediated gene augmented nuclear-targeting sonodynamic therapy. Through fully relieving the immunosuppressive microenvironment of colorectal cancer by this treatment, this nanoplatform provides a new synergistic strategy for enhancing the anti-PD-L1 therapy to ablate colorectal cancer and inhibit its metastasis.
