Abstract
ABSTRACT Current advances in tumour immunotherapy remain constrained by inadequate cytotoxic T lymphocyte activation and the immunosuppressive tumour microenvironment. Innovative strategies are urgently required to enhance anti‐tumour immune potency for clinical improvements in immunotherapy‐resistant malignancies. Herein, we developed pyroptosis‐amplified decoy nanovesicles (PADVs) to synergistically dismantle tumour resistance mechanisms and rejuvenate endogenous anti‐tumour immunity. PADVs integrate checkpoint‐neutralizing capability with precise regulation of the pyroptosis molecular switch in tumour cells, thereby initiating a sequential activation cascade that enables efficient presentation of tumour‐specific antigens to the reshaped immune system. Systemically infused PADVs demonstrated dual‐targeting priority towards lymph node and deep tumour tissues, reversing immunosuppression through competitive blockade of PD‐1/PD‐L1 and SIRPα/CD47 axes while providing co‐stimulatory signals for immune reactivation. Furthermore, PADVs alleviate the epigenetic suppression of pyroptosis in tumours via cytosolic delivery of decitabine and LPS, enabling gasdermin D (GSDMD) upregulation and cleavage. This coordinated strategy reverses T cell exhaustion and triggers explosive antigen release via GSDMD‐mediated membrane perforation, initiating a self‐amplifying immune cascade involving dendritic cell activation, effector and memory T cell formation. Consequently, PADVs demonstrate excellent efficacy in suppressing tumour progression, recurrence, and metastasis in melanoma, breast cancer, and colon cancer models. This study pioneers a versatile nanoplatform that not only counteracts tumour immune evasion but also establishes durable anti‐tumour immunity, offering a transformative approach to tumour immunotherapy.
ABSTRACT The therapeutic efficacy against hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is frequently compromised by inherent apoptotic evasion and a hostile tumor microenvironment (TME). Inducing immunogenic cell death, particularly pyroptosis, represents a promising avenue to breach these barriers. Herein, we identify acyl‐CoA dehy...

A major bottleneck in radio-immunotherapy is the inability to precisely couple the localized stimulus of radiotherapy (RT) with the systemic action of immunotherapeutics. To bridge this gap, we developed a chemically engineered RT-ignited nanoplatform that productively harnesses the biochemical consequences of RT to pr...

Tumor hypersialylation drives immunosuppression and limits immunotherapy efficacy by shielding tumor cells and engaging inhibitory immune receptors. Here, we engineered Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (EcNΔpgi-SAS) as a metabolically confined “desialylation catalyst” to remodel the tumor microenvironment. This strain comb...
