Abstract

Cancer vaccines show huge potential for cancer prevention and treatment. However, their efficacy remains limited due to weak immunogenicity regarding inefficient stimulation of cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses. Inspired by the unique characteristic and biological function of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), we here develop an HDL-mimicking nanovaccine with the commendable lymph-targeted capacity to potently elicit antitumor immunity using lipid nanoparticle that is co-loaded with specific cancer cytomembrane harboring a collection of tumor-associated antigens and an immune adjuvant. The nanoparticulate impact is explored on the efficiency of lymphatic targeting and dendritic cell uptake. The optimized nanovaccine promotes the co-delivery of antigens and adjuvants to lymph nodes and maintains antigen presentation of dendritic cells, resulting in long-term immune surveillance as the elevated frequency of CTLs within lymphoid organs and tumor tissue. Immunization of nanovaccine suppresses tumor formation and growth and augments the therapeutic efficacy of checkpoint inhibitors notably on the high-stemness melanoma in the mouse models.
