Cancer immunotherapy has received increasing attention in tumor therapy. However, insufficient infiltration of T cells and over-expressed PD-L1 checkpoint in tumor cells severely impede cancer immunotherapy. Here, an injectable hydrogel was designed to reinforce T cell infiltration and inactivate PD-L1 for powerful cancer immunotherapy. The hydrogel was created by sodium alginate (SA) as the gelator, where linagliptin particles and BMS-202 particles were present in hydrogel micropores. After gelation in the tumor site, the linagliptin powerfully suppressed chemokine CXCL10 degradation, enabling the introduced CXCL10 to realize sustainable chemotaxis towards strong T cell infiltration. Meanwhile, the BMS-202 inactivated PD-L1 of tumor cells, thereby eliminating the PD-L1-governed immune evasion. Therefore, the hydrogel in combination with CXCL10 demonstrated powerful cancer immunotherapy against primary and distant tumors, along with efficient inhibition of lung metastasis. Our study not only offers a potent platform against tumors, but also provides a conceptually new approach to reinforce cancer immunotherapy.

Nanoscale Horizons

Nanoscale Horizons is a leading journal for the publication of exceptionally high-quality, innovative nanoscience and nanotechnology. The journal places an emphasis on original research that demonstrates a new concept or a new way of thinking (a conceptual advance), rather than primarily reporting technological improvements. However, outstanding articles featuring truly breakthrough developments such as record performance alone may also be published in the journal. For work to be published it must be of significant general interest to our community-spanning readership. Topics covered in the journal include, but are not limited to: Synthesis of nanostructured and nanoscale materials Quantum materials 2D materials Layered materials Layered quantum materials Characterisation of functional nanoscale materials and bio-assemblies Properties of nanoscale materials Self-assembly and molecular organisation Complex hybrid nanostructures Nanocomposites, nanoparticles, nanocrystalline materials, and nanoclusters Nanotubes, molecular nanowires and nanocrystals Molecular nanoscience Nanocatalysis Theoretical modelling Single-molecules Plasmonics Nanoelectronics and molecular electronics Nanophotonics Nanochips, nanosensors, nanofluidics and nanofabrication Carbon-based nanoscale materials and devices Biomimetic materials Nanobiotechnology/bionanomaterials Nanomedicine Regulatory approaches and risk assessment
