Immunogenic cell death (ICD) has emerged as a pivotal form of cell death in anti-cancer therapy as it combines the ability to both eliminate cancer cells and simultaneously activate anti-tumor immunity, thereby contributing to the establishment of long-term immunological memory. Antigen-presenting cells (APCs), with an emphasis on dendritic cells (DCs), play a central role in bridging the innate and adaptive immune systems. DCs recognize and present antigens derived from the dying cancer cells to T cells in the lymph nodes, resulting in T cell activation.

Immunotherapy has shown marked progress in promoting systemic anti-colorectal cancer (CRC) clinical effects. For further effectively sensitizing CRC to immunotherapy, we have engineered a pH-sensitive zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (CS/NPs), capable of efficient cGAS-STING pathway activation and immune checkpoint blockade, by encapsulating the chemotherapeutic mitoxantrone (MTX) and immunomodulator thymus pentapeptide (TP5) and tailoring with tumor-targeting chondroitin sulfate (CS). In this nanoframework, CS endows CS/NPs with specific tumor-targeting activity and reduced systemic toxicity.

Pyroptosis, a highly inflammatory form of programmed cell death, has emerged as a promising target for cancer immunotherapy. However, in the context of pyroptosis execution, while both caspase-3 and GSDME are essential, it is noteworthy that GSDME is frequently under-expressed in cold tumors. To overcome this limitation, engineered cellular nanovesicles (NVs) presenting TRAIL on their membranes (NV) are developed to trigger the upregulation of cleaved caspase-3.

Therapy-induced immunogenic cell death (ICD) can initiate both innate and adaptive immune responses for amplified anti-tumor efficacy. However, dying cell-released ICD signals are prone to being sequestered by the TIM-3 receptors on dendritic cell (DC) surfaces, preventing immune surveillance. Herein, dismantlable coronated nanoparticles (NPs) are fabricated as a type of spatiotemporally controlled nanocarriers for coupling tumor cell-mediated ICD induction to DC-mediated immune sensing.

The ionic partition property and transfer mechanism of the anthraquinone antitumor agent mitoxantrone (MTX) were studied in detail at the water|1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) interface by means of surface-sensitive spectroelectrochemical techniques. The interfacial mechanism of the cationic MTX species was composed of potential-driven ion transfer and adsorption processes. The ion association between MTX and zwitterionic polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers with peripheral carboxy groups was also investigated in terms of the effects of pH and dendritic generation.
