A sugar-based ribonucleotide system improves immune recognition and controls brain tumor growth

Updated

Abstract

The engineered immuno-ribonucleocarbohydrate (iRNC) platform shows significant therapeutic efficacy in CT2A glioblastoma models.

  • iRNCs co-deliver mRNA and immune-activating compounds, facilitating both antigen expression and immune response.
  • This platform is preferentially taken up by tumor-associated phagocytes, enhancing mRNA delivery and antigen presentation in tumors.
  • The iRNC system provoked strong innate immune activation while exhibiting minimal systemic toxicity.
  • Vaccination with iRNCs resulted in significant tumor growth suppression and increased survival in mice with glioblastoma compared to traditional lipid nanoparticles.
