Most studies focus on how intestinal microbiota influence cancer immunotherapy through activating gut immunity. However, immunotherapies related to innate responses such as CD47 blockade rely on the rapid immune responses within the tumor microenvironment. Using one defined anaerobic gut microbiota to track whether microbiota interact with host immunity, we observed that Bifidobacterium facilitates local anti-CD47 immunotherapy on tumor tissues through the capacity to accumulate within the tumor microenvironment. Systemic administration of Bifidobacterium leads to its accumulation within the tumor and converts the nonresponder mice into responders to anti-CD47 immunotherapy in a stimulator of interferon genes (STING)– and interferon-dependent fashion. Local delivery of Bifidobacterium potently stimulates STING signaling and increases cross-priming of dendritic cells after anti-CD47 treatment. Our study identifies the mechanism by which gut microbiota preferentially colonize in tumor sites and facilitate immunotherapy via STING signaling.

Aim: Tumor-derived small extracellular vesicles (TEVs) are considered for use in inducing tumor antigen-specific immune responses as they contain tumor antigens. The delivery of tumor antigens to the antigen presentation cells (especially dendritic cells [DCs]), and the activation of DCs are the main challenges of TEV therapy. Materials & methods: TEVs were modified with CD40 ligand (CD40L), which can target CD40 expressed on the surface of DCs and can activate them via CD40L-CD40 interactions. Results: It was found that CD40L-TEVs were efficiently taken up by DCs and also activated them. Moreover, tumor antigens were efficiently presented to the T cells by DCs treated with CD40L-TEVs. Conclusion: This study proved that CD40L-modification of TEVs will be helpful for further development of TEV-based tumor vaccination.

A wide array of therapeutic strategies has been implemented against cancers, yet their clinical benefit is limited. The lack of clinical efficacy of the conventional treatment options might be due to the inept immune competency of the patients. Dendritic cells (DCs) have a vital role in initiating and directing immune responses and have been frequently used as delivery vehicles in clinical research. The recent clinical data suggest the potential use of DCs pulsed with nucleic acid, especially with RNA holds a great potential as an immunotherapeutic measure with compare to other cancer therapeutics. This review mainly deals with the DCs and their role in transfection with RNA in cancer immunotherapy.
