  1. Abstract:

    Immunotherapy is the new approach for cancer treatment that can be achieved through several strategies, one of which is dendritic cells (DCs) vaccine therapy. However, traditional DC vaccination lacks accurate targeting, so DC vaccine preparation needs to be optimized. Immunosuppressive CD4+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the tumor microenvironment can promote tumor immune escape. Therefore, targeting Tregs has become a strategy for tumor immunotherapy. In this study, we found that HMGN1 (N1, a dendritic cell-activating TLR4 agonist) and 3M-052 (a newly synthesized TLR7/8 agonist) synergistically stimulate DCs maturation and increase the production of proinflammatory cytokines TNFa and IL-12. In a colon cancer mice model, vaccination with N1 and 3M-052 stimulated and tumor antigen-loaded DCs combined with anti-TNFR2 inhibited tumor growth in mice, and the antitumor effect was mainly achieved through stimulation of cytotoxic CD8 T cell activation and depletion of Tregs. Overall, the combinating of DC activation by N1 and 3M-052 with inhibition of Tregs by antagonizing TNFR2 as a therapeutic strategy may represent a more effective strategy for cancer treatment.
