Compared to the activation of acquired immunity by the immune checkpoint blockade, the activation of innate immunity via anti-phagocytosis checkpoint blockade could significantly increase the beneficiary population of immunotherapy. However, the activation of innate immunity and the occurrence of phagocytosis are only accomplished when the interaction between pro-phagocytosis signals and anti-phagocytosis signals is realized. Herein, a versatile nanoplatform (DHMR) based on mesoporous silicon nanoparticles (MSNPs) has been constructed. Two drugs, doxorubicin, a chemotherapeutic drug which could initiate tumor cells to release pro-phagocytosis signals, and RRx-001, an immunoadjuvant that could effectively implement the anti-phagocytosis checkpoint blockade, were loaded in MSNPs. Further decoration of hyaluronic acid encapsulation endows DHMR with the function of tumor targeting and long circulation. Ultimately, the DHMR system could efficiently and accurately target tumor tissue, release the drugs in the tumor microenvironment, achieve the activation of innate immunity, and finally dramatically inhibit the growth and metastasis of tumor cells.

Treatments for osteosarcoma (OS) with pulmonary metastases reach a bottleneck with a survival rate of 10–20%. The suppressive tumor associated macrophages(TAMs) and CD47 over-expression greatly lead to the treatment failure. Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) can generate ROS with deep tumor penetration to induce tumor cell apoptosis , which is reported to further induce M1 macrophage polarization. CD47 inhibition combined with SDT to synergistically modulate TAMs may induce superior effects for OS treatment. In this work, for the first time, a biomimetic nanodrug named MPIRx was deveploped by loading IR780 (a sonosensitizer) and RRx-001 (a CD47 inhibitor) in PEG-PCL nanomicelles and then coating with OS cell membranes . After ultrasound activation, the nanodrug significantly inhibited OS proliferation and migration, induced apoptosis and immunogenic cell death in OS cells. Furthermore, MPIRx could guide macrophage migrating towards tumor cells and promote M1-type polarization while increasing the phagocytosis activity of macrophages on OS cells. Ultimately, MPIRx showed good tumor accumulation in vivo and successfully inhibited subcutaneous OS and orthotopic tumor with deterioration of pulmonary metastasis. Overall, by creating a local oxidative microenvironment and modulating the TAMs/CD47 in tumor tissue, the MPIRx nanodrug presents a novel strategy for macrophage-related immunotherapy to successfully eliminate OS and inhibit the intractable pulmonary metastasis.
