This invention provides a nanoformulation capable of enhancing the immune response to in situ
tumor vaccines. The nanoformulation comprises
zoledronic acid, all-trans
retinoic acid, and
metal ions. Preferably, the
metal ion is a
lanthanide metal, such as Gd. 3+ Preferred,
zoledronic acid: Gd 3+ The
mass ratio of all-trans
retinoic acid is 4:1:5. The nano-formulation consists of
zoledronic acid and Gd... 3+ Zol / Gd-NPs nanocoagulation polymers were formed by mixing in water. All-trans
retinoic acid was dissolved in
anhydrous ethanol to prepare
albumin-encapsulated nanoparticles (A-NPs), which were then mixed with the Zol / Gd-NPs nanocoagulation polymers and sonicated to obtain the final product. These nanoparticles, on the one hand, can utilize zoledronic acid to eliminate macrophages, thereby reversing the inhibition of intratumoral dendritic cells (DCs) by the tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment; on the other hand, all-trans retinoic acid can significantly increase the expression of MHC-I and tumor antigens in
tumor cells, thus ensuring the activation of CD8. + T cells can effectively recognize and kill tumors, generating a systemic anti-tumor immune response.
