To further counter immune evasion, we encapsulated the CD47/SIRPα inhibitor RRX-001 into reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive carriers, yielding RRX@RCD...In CT26 tumor-bearing mice, RRX@RCD achieved superior tumor regression, doubled median survival. Overall, RRX@RCD synchronizes innate and adaptive immune activation, offering a safe and potent nanomedicine strategy for durable antitumor immunity.

The therapeutic effects can be further improved through encapsulation of RRx-001, a small molecule inhibitor of the CD47-SIRPα signaling. Compared to the antibody approach, the synthetic nanoparticle approach offers greater efficacy with lower side effects and enables combination therapy through a simple formulation. Moreover, the approach is versatile and could be adapted for targeting other ICB signaling, advancing the next generation of cancer immunotherapy.

Compared to the classical Gasdermin D (GSDMD)-mediated pyroptosis that has been extensively explored for cancer immunotherapy, the direct induction of Gasdermin E (GSDME) pyroptosis has been rarely reported, likely due to the well-recognized reduced GSDME levels in solid tumors. This nanoplatform, CDDP/1-bromoacetyl-3,3-dinitroazetidine (RRx-001) @iRGD-Pla-Exo nanoparticles (CRRPE NPs) leads to almost complete tumor eradication in a Hepa1-6-luc orthotopic liver cancer model by activating macrophages, and can be combined with the commercially available programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) antibody immunomodulator to maintain T cells' effector function for a prolonged survival lifetime. Overall, this study provides a conceptual advance in revealing the role of chemotherapy in mediating tumor cell pyroptosis and immune cell activation.
