Combination therapy with checkpoint inhibitors blocks inhibitory immune cell signaling and improves clinical responses to anticancer treatments.However,continued development of innovative and controllable delivery systems for immune-stimulating agents is necessary to optimize clinical responses.Herein,we engineered Salmonella to deliver recombinant granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor(GM-CSF)in a controllable manner for combination treatment with a programmed death-ligand 1(PD-L1)inhibitor.The engineered Salmonella enabled delivery of recombinant GM-CSF into mouse tumors,activating recruitment of immune cells,such as M1-polarized macrophages,dendritic cells,and CD8+T cells.Combination treatment with the PD-L1 inhibitor and engineered Salmonella increased the survival rate of tumor-bearing mice by 25%.New tumor growth was strongly suppressed,and visible tumors disappeared at 120 days post-infection(dpi)in mice rechallenged with additional tumor implantation at 100 dpi.The number of memory T cells increased>2-fold in tumor-rechallenged mice.Our findings demonstrate superiority of the engineered Salmonella as a cancer therapeutic agent with pre-cise targeting ability,immune-boosting activity,and ease of combination with other therapeutics.
