Development of a bacteria-nanosapper for the active delivery of ZIF-8 particles containing therapeutic genes for cancer immune therapy

Specific tumor-targeted gene delivery remains an unsolved therapeutic issue due to aberrant vascularization in tumor microenvironment(TME).Some bacteria exhibit spontaneous chemotaxis to-ward the anaerobic and immune-suppressive TME,which makes them ideal natural vehicles for cancer gene therapy.Here,we conjugated ZIF-8 metal-organic frameworks encapsulating eukaryotic murine interleukin 2(Il2)expression plasmid onto the surface of VNP20009,an attenuated Salmonella typhimur-ium strain with well-documented anti-cancer activity,and constructed a TME-targeted Il2 delivery system named Il2/ZIF-8@Salmonella.Both in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that Il2/ZIF-8@Sal-monella maintained the tumor-targeting feature of bacteria,and could be effectively phagocytosed by in-tratumoral macrophages,thus leading to the expression and secretion of IL2 in TME.The detailed analysis of tumor immune microenvironment(TIME)showed that one dose of combinatorial Il2/ZIF-8@Salmonella achieved synergistic actions on a potent remodeling of TIME,marked by the activation of cytotoxic T cells and M1-polarization of macrophages in TME,thus leading to significant anti-tumor effects in melanoma,orthotopic hepatocellular carcinoma,and pulmonary metastasis models.More importantly,Il2/ZIF-8@Salmonella exhibited high safety to major organs and hematopoietic systems.Taken together,we report a novel plasmid/ZIF-8@Salmonella system that simultaneously achieves effec-tive TME-targeted delivery of therapeutic gene,as well as synergistic re-activation of TIME.
