Tumor cells transmit various immunosuppressive signals and induce a dysfunctional state in T cells, which essentially leads to immune escape and tumor progression. However, developing effective strategies to counteract the domestication of T cells by tumor cells remains a challenge. Here, we prepared pH-responsive lipid nanoparticles (NL/PLDs) co-loaded with PCSK9 shRNA, lonidamine (LND), and low-dose doxorubicin (DOX). NL/PLDs can awaken domesticated T cells function by sending pro-activation, pro-recognition, and pro-killing signals by increasing tumor immunogenicity, increasing the expression of major histocompatibility complex I (MHC-I) on tumor cells, and alleviating the suppression effect of tumor-secreted lactic acid (LA) on the T cell effector function, respectively. In melanoma-bearing mice, NL/PLDs effectively relieved tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment (TIME) and enhanced the antitumor immunity mediated by CD8 + T cells. Furthermore, when combined with aPD-1, NL/PLDs demonstrated strong antitumor effects and increased immunotherapeutic efficacy. This regulatory strategy provides new insights for enhancing immunotherapy by regulating tumor immunosuppressive signals and shows significant potential for clinical tumor treatment.
