Abstract
The heterologous immunity of live pathogens leads to the emergence of this approach as a pivotal component in cancer immunotherapy. However, virulence, inflammatory-related toxicity, and the induction of Treg cells after treatment hinder their clinical translation. Here, to exploit the heterologous immunity of live pathogens without risks, a virulence-free reconstituted synthetic nanopathogen (RSnP) is developed by the cell wall skeleton of disrupted Mycobacterium bovis and the incorporation of timely-activating Toll-like receptor 7/8 agonists of which multifaceted activities can be promoted by endolysosomal enzymes. Immunization with RSnP, even without tumor-specific antigens, exhibits potent antitumor efficacy against melanoma, breast cancer, and bladder cancer by promoting antitumor effector cells (CD8+ T cells, NK cells, M1 macrophages, and Th17 cells) and proinflammatory cytokines (IL-12p70, TNF-α, and IL-6) while simultaneously mitigating immunosuppressive myeloid cells (MDSCs and M2 macrophages) in the tumor microenvironment, surpassing the therapeutic efficacies of approved live-BCG drug and mRNA vaccine. The increase in CCR8+Foxp3+ Treg cells induced to counteract RSnP treatment can be attenuated by anti-CCR8 antibody, a depletion antibody for tumor-specific Treg cells, to synergize therapeutic efficacy with relieved autoimmunity. RSnP can be a therapeutic nanomedicine platform across heterologous cancers and emerging infectious virus variants with minimized toxicity.
