Article Abstract
The inhibition of immune checkpoints has emerged as a most successful immunotherapy strategy for cancers; however, it bears a modest clinical response rate and certain cases severe systemic adverse reactions. Here, oncolytic microgels (OMG) that possess similar antitumor activity and immune activation to oncolytic peptide LTX-315 and are capable of sustained release of immune checkpoint inhibitors have been developed to potentiate cancer immunotherapy. Of note, antibodies including anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, and anti-CTLA-4 all could be quantitatively loaded into OMG while being gradually released over a couple of weeks in vitro and in tumor as well. In the B16F10 melanoma model, a single tumoral injection of anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4-loaded OMG (P1C4@OMG) effectively reversed suppressive tumor microenvironment and enhanced anti-tumor immune response, achieving potent tumor suppression and striking survival benefits. This study heralds oncolytic microgels with regulated antibody release as a safe and unique platform for cancer immunotherapy.

In situ cancer vaccines exploiting endogenous multiple antigens directly from tumors to elicit broad immune responses hold great potential in cancer treatment. However, the feeble antigen presentation and hostile immune microenvironments pose severe challenges to acquiring clinical benefits. Here, oncolytic STING-activating microgels (OSAM) that release oncolytic peptide LTX-315 and STING adjuvant diABZI in a sustained manner (>4 weeks) have been developed to elicit long-acting and powerful antitumor immunity.

Oncolytic therapy is a fast-developing cancer treatment field based on the promising clinical performance from the selective tumor cell killing and induction of systemic antitumor immunity. The virotherapy efficacy, however, is strongly hindered by the limited virus propagation and negative immune regulation in the tumor microenvironments. To enhance the antitumor activity, we developed injectable pH-degradable PVA microgels encapsulated with oncolytic adenovirus (OA) by microfluidics for localized OA delivery and cancer treatments.
