Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the fields of biomedicine and immune engineering technology, specifically to a cGAS-STING pathway-activated tumor vaccine based on X-framework nucleic acid, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Subunit vaccines have broad application prospects in tumor immunotherapy due to their high safety and well-defined composition. However, they generally suffer from insufficient immunogenicity and difficulty in effectively activating innate immune pathways. To improve the efficiency of the immune response, molecular adjuvants that can activate innate immune receptors are usually required. However, existing peptide vaccines have weak immunogenicity, and their dependence on additional adjuvants limits their safety and application scope.
[0003] In the innate immune pathway, the cGAS-STING signaling pathway is a key pathway for inducing type I interferon production and promoting cellular immune responses. After cytoplasmic DNA is recognized, cGAS catalyzes the generation of the second messenger cGAMP, which in turn activates STING and initiates downstream immune signaling. However, the rigid structure of traditional linear double-stranded DNA molecules makes them unstable when binding to cGAS, hindering the formation of a sustained and effective activation complex, resulting in limited activation efficiency.
[0004] In recent years, framework nucleic acids (FNAs) have gradually become a novel material platform for regulating immune receptor recognition due to their programmable sequences, precise self-assembly, and controllable spatial configuration. Through structural design, the topological geometry of DNA can be altered, increasing local nucleic acid density and enhancing interactions with protein receptors. Simultaneously, they can achieve the co-delivery and presentation of antigen peptides or immune molecules, serving both structural support and functional delivery. Based on this, developing a tumor vaccine that utilizes the topological advantages of framework nucleic acids to efficiently activate the cGAS-STING pathway without additional adjuvants has significant clinical application value. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention aims to provide a cGAS-STING pathway-activated tumor vaccine based on X-framework nucleic acids. Through a unique topological design, it achieves a synergistic effect of innate immune activation and efficient antigen delivery, inducing a strong anti-tumor immune response without additional adjuvants. This overcomes the technical defects of existing technologies, such as insufficient immunogenicity of subunit vaccines, low efficiency of traditional linear DNA activation of the cGAS-STING pathway, and dependence on exogenous adjuvants for peptide vaccines.
