Surgical resection remains the mainstream treatment for malignant melanoma. However, challenges in wound healing and residual tumor metastasis pose significant hurdles, resulting in high recurrence rates in patients. Herein, a bioactive injectable hydrogel (BG-Mn) formed by crosslinking sodium alginate (SA) with manganese-doped bioactive glass (BG-Mn) is developed as a versatile platform for anti-tumor immunotherapy and postoperative wound healing for melanoma. The incorporation of Mn within bioactive glass (BG) can activate the cGAS-STING immune pathway to elicit robust immune response for cancer immunotherapy. Furthermore, doping Mn in BG endows system with excellent photothermal properties, hence facilitating STING activation and reversing the tumor immune-suppressive microenvironment. BG exhibits favorable angiogenic capacity and tissue regenerative potential, and Mn promotes cell migration in vitro. When combining BG-Mn with anti-PD-1 antibody (α-PD-1) for the treatment of malignant melanoma, it shows enhanced anti-tumor immune response and long-term immune memory response. Remarkably, BG-Mn can upregulate the expression of genes related to blood vessel formation and promote skin tissue regeneration when treating full-thickness wounds. Overall, BG-Mn serves as an effective adjuvant therapy to regulate tumor metastasis and wound healing for malignant melanoma.
