The invention provides in-situ forming fluid bionic hydrogel as well as a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of biological medicines. The invention provides an injectable GelSSO / PDA (at) SDF fluid bionic niche, after in-situ photo-crosslinking, preferential and sustained release of PDA (at) SDF NPs initiates early signal amplification, which recruits EPCs and MSCs through an SDF-1 alpha / CXCR4 axis, promotes activation of the angiogenic vascular niche through an AKT signal, and repolarizes macrophages to a regenerated M2 phenotype.

This invention discloses a method for preparing and applying a chimeric peptide nanomedicine for photodynamic immunotherapy of triple-negative breast cancer. The nanomedicine uses the functional chimeric peptide Fmoc-K(PpIX)-PLGLAG-CVRARTR as its self-assembly core and is loaded with the exosomal PD-L1 inhibitor GW4869. This chimeric peptide contains an MMP-2 responsive sequence, the photosensitizer PpIX, and the PD-L1 targeting peptide CVRARTR.

This invention can simultaneously achieve a triple synergistic therapeutic effect: PDT generates reactive oxygen species that directly kill tumor cells and trigger immunogenic cell death, enhancing immunogenicity; the targeting peptide competitively blocks PD-L1 on the cell surface, relieving local immunosuppression; and the inhibitor downregulates exosomal PD-L1 secretion, inhibiting systemic immune escape. This approach effectively overcomes the bottleneck of low response rates in existing TNBC immunotherapy.
