Abstract
Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are well-known causative agents of several cancers, yet selective therapies remain under investigation. Nanoparticles, for instance, are emerging as promising solutions to enhance the delivery and efficacy of therapeutic approaches. Despite the increasing number of nanotherapies offering advantages over current treatments, only one has advanced to clinical trials. This review highlights recent advances in nanotherapies for HPV-associated cancers, focusing on the delivery of small molecules, gene-targeted therapies, and vaccines. Some of the challenges faced in nanotherapies translation for clinical application are discussed, emphasizing the most used preclinical models that fail to accurately predict human responses, thereby hindering proper evaluation of nanotherapies. Additionally, we explore and discuss alternative promising new preclinical models that could pave the way for more effective nanotherapeutic evaluations.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs) are asserted as the most potent antigen-presenting cells (APCs) that orchestrate both innate and adaptive immunity, being extremely effective in the induction of robust anti-cancer T cell responses. Hence, the modulation of DCs function represents an attractive target for improving cancer immunotherapy efficacy. A better understanding of the immunobiology of DCs, the interaction among DCs, immune effector cells and tumor cells in tumor microenvironment (TME) and the latest advances in biomedical engineering technology would be required for the design of optimal DC-based immunotherapy. In this review, we focus on elaborating the immunobiology of DCs in healthy and cancer environments, the recent advances in the development of enhancing endogenous DCs immunocompetence via immunomodulators as well as DC-based vaccines. The rapidly developing field of applying nanotechnology to improve DC-based immunotherapy is also highlighted.

Abstract
The notorious limitation of conventional surgical excision of primary tumor is the omission of residual and occult tumor cells, which often progress to recurrence and metastasis, leading to clinical treatment failure. The therapeutic vaccine is emerging as a promising candidate for dealing with the issue of postsurgical tumor residuals or nascent metastasis. Here, a flexible and modularized nanovaccine scaffold based on the SpyCatcher003-decorated shell (S) domain of norovirus (Nov) is employed to support the presentation of varied tumor neoantigens fused with SpyTag003. The prepared tumor neoantigen-based nanovaccines (Neo-NVs) are able to efficiently target to lymph nodes and engage with DCs in LNs, triggering strong antigen-specific T-cell immunity and significantly inhibiting the growth of established orthotopic 4T1 breast tumor in mice. Further, the combination of Neo-NVs and anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) produces significant inhibition on postsurgical tumor recurrence and metastasis and induces a long-lasting immune memory. In conclusion, the study provides a simple and reliable strategy for rapid preparing personalized neoantigens-based cancer vaccines and engaging checkpoint treatment to restore the capability of tumor immune surveillance and clearance in surgical patients.

Abstract
Vaccine is one of the most promising strategies for cancer immunotherapy; however, there are no therapeutic cancer vaccine achieving significant clinical efficacy till now. The main limiting factors include the immune suppression and escape mechanisms developed by tumor and not enough capacity of vaccines to induce a vigorous anti-tumor immunity. This study aimed to develop a strategy of membrane-based biomimetic nanovaccine and investigate the immunological outcomes of utilizing the unique immunostimulatory mechanisms derived of immunogenic cell death (ICD) and of fulfilling a simultaneous nanoscale delivery of a highlighted tumor antigen and broad membrane-associated tumor antigens in the vaccine design. TC-1 tumor cells were treated in vitro with a mixture of mitoxantrone and curcumin for ICD induction, and then chitosan (CS)-coated polylactic co-glycolic acid (PLGA) nanoparticles loaded with HPV16 E744-62 peptides were decorated with the prepared ICD tumor cell membrane (IM); further, the IM-decorated nanoparticles along with adenosine triphosphate (ATP) were embedded with sodium alginate (ALG) hydrogel, And then, the immunological features and therapeutic potency were evaluated in vitro and in vivo. The nanovaccine significantly stimulated the migration, antigen uptake, and maturation of DCs in vitro, improved antigen lysosome escape, and promoted the retention at injection site and accumulation in LNs of the tumor antigen in vivo. In a subcutaneously grafted TC-1 tumor model, the therapeutic immunization of nanovaccine elicited a dramatical antitumor immunity. This study provides a strategy for the development of tumor vaccines.

Abstract
Tumor vaccines aim to activate dormant or unresponsive tumor-specific T lymphocytes by using tumor-specific or tumor-associated antigens, thus enhancing the body's natural defense against cancer. However, the effectiveness of tumor vaccines is limited by the presence of tumor heterogeneity, low immunogenicity, and immune evasion mechanisms. Fortunately, multifunctional nanoparticles offer a unique chance to address these issues. With the advantages of their small size, high stability, efficient drug delivery, and controlled surface chemistry, nanomaterials can precisely target tumor sites, improve the delivery of tumor antigens and immune adjuvants, reshape the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, and enhance the body's anti-tumor immune response, resulting in improved efficacy and reduced side effects. Nanovaccine, a type of vaccine that uses nanotechnology to deliver antigens and adjuvants to immune cells, has emerged as a promising strategy for cancer immunotherapy due to its ability to stimulate immune responses and induce tumor-specific immunity. In this review, we discussed the compositions and types of nanovaccine, and the mechanisms behind their anti-tumor effects based on the latest research. We hope that this will provide a more scientific basis for designing tumor vaccines and enhancing the effectiveness of tumor immunotherapy.

Abstract
Background Peptide-based vaccines have broad application prospects because of their safety, simple preparation, and effectiveness, especially in the development of personalized cancer vaccines, which have shown great advantages. However, the current peptide-based vaccines often require artificial synthesis and intricate delivery technology, which increases the cost and complexity of preparation. Methods Here, we developed a simple technique for combining a peptide and a delivery system using the natural secretion system of bacteria. Specifically, we biosynthesized an antigenic peptide in bacteria, which was then extracellularly released through the bacterial secretory vesicles, thus simultaneously achieving the biosynthesis and delivery of the peptide. Results The system utilizes the natural properties of bacterial vesicles to promote antigen uptake and dendritic cell (DC) maturation. Therefore, tumor-specific CD4+ Th1 and CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses were induced in TC-1 tumor-bearing mice, thereby efficiently suppressing tumor growth. Conclusion This research promotes innovation and extends the application of peptide-based vaccine biosynthesis technology. Importantly, it provides a new method for personalized cancer immunotherapy that uses screened peptides as antigens in the future.

Abstract
Sub-10 nm nanoparticles are known to exhibit extraordinary size-dependent properties for wide applications. Many approaches have been developed for synthesizing sub-10 nm inorganic nanoparticles, but the fabrication of sub-10 nm polymeric nanoparticles is still challenging. Here, a scalable, spontaneous confined nanoemulsification strategy that produces uniform sub-10 nm nanodroplets for template synthesis of sub-10 nm polymeric nanoparticles is proposed. This strategy introduces a high-concentration interfacial reaction to create overpopulated surfactants that are insoluble at the droplet surface. These overpopulated surfactants act as barriers, resulting in highly accumulated surfactants inside the droplet via a confined reaction. These surfactants exhibit significantly changed packing geometry, solubility, and interfacial activity to enhance the molecular-level impact on interfacial instability for creating sub-10 nm nanoemulsions via self-burst nanoemulsification. Using the nanodroplets as templates, the fabrication of uniform sub-10 nm polymeric nanoparticles, as small as 3.5 nm, made from biocompatible polymers and capable of efficient drug encapsulation is demonstrated. This work opens up brand-new opportunities to easily create sub-10 nm nanoemulsions and advanced ultrasmall functional nanoparticles.

Abstract
Breast and gynecologic cancers are significant global threats to women's health and those living with the disease require lifelong physical, financial, and social support from their families, healthcare providers, and society as a whole. Cancer vaccines offer a promising means of inducing long-lasting immune response against the disease. Among various types of cancer vaccines available, peptide vaccines offer an effective strategy to elicit specific anti-tumor immune responses. Peptide vaccines have been developed based on tumor associated antigens (TAAs) and tumor specific neoantigens which can also be of viral origin. Molecular alterations in HER2 and non-HER2 genes are established to be involved in the pathogenesis of female-specific cancers and hence were exploited for the development of peptide vaccines against these diseases, most of which are in the latter stages of clinical trials. However, prophylactic vaccines for viral induced cancers, especially those against Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection are well established. This review discusses therapeutic and prophylactic approaches for various types of female-specific cancers such as breast cancer and gynecologic cancers with special emphasis on peptide vaccines. We also present a pipeline for the design and evaluation of a multiepitope peptide vaccine that can be active against female-specific cancers.

Abstract
With the rapid increase in the incidence of cervical cancer, anal cancer and other cancers, human papillomavirus (HPV) infection has become a growing concern. Persistent infection with high-risk HPV is a major cause of malignant tumors. In addition, microbiota and viruses such as human immunodeficiency virus, herpes simplex virus, and Epstein-Barr virus are closely associated with HPV infection. The limited effectiveness of existing treatments for HPV-associated tumors and the high rates of recurrence and metastasis in patients create an urgent need for novel and effective approaches. In recent years, HPV vaccine coverage has increased and can reduce the incidence of serious adverse events. Overall, this article provides a comprehensive overview of HPV biology, microbiome, and other viral interactions in cancer development, highlighting the need for a more comprehensive approach to cancer prevention and treatment. Current and emerging HPV-related cancer control and treatment strategies are also further explored.

[PMID: 36864424 PMCID: PMC9980871 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-023-01832-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2023] [Accepted: 02/27/2023] [Indexed: 03/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Innate immune cells are critical in antitumor immune surveillance and the development of antitumor adaptive cellular immunity. Trained innate immune cells demonstrate immune memory-like characteristics, producing more vigorous immune responses to secondary homologous or heterologous stimuli. This study aimed to investigate whether inducing trained immunity is beneficial when using a tumor vaccine to promote antitumor adaptive immune responses. A biphasic delivery system was developed with the trained immunity inducer Muramyl Dipeptide (MDP) and specific tumor antigen human papillomavirus (HPV) E7 peptide encapsulated by poly(lactide-co-glycolide)-acid(PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs), and the NPs along with another trained immunity agonist, β-glucan, were further embedded in a sodium alginate hydrogel. The nanovaccine formulation demonstrated a depot effect for E7 at the injection site and targeted delivery to the lymph nodes and dendritic cells (DCs). The antigen uptake and maturation of DCs were significantly promoted. A trained immunity phenotype, characterized by increased production of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α, was induced in vitro and in vivo in response to secondary homologous or heterologous stimulation. Furthermore, prior innate immune training enhanced the antigen-specific INF-γ-expressing immune cell response elicited by subsequent stimulation with the nanovaccine. Immunization with the nanovaccine completely inhibited the growth of TC-1 tumors and even abolished established tumors in mice. Mechanistically, the inclusion of β-glucan and MDP significantly enhanced the responses of tumor-specific effector adaptive immune cells. The results strongly suggest that the controlled release and targeted delivery of an antigen and trained immunity inducers with an NP/hydrogel biphasic system can elicit robust adaptive immunity, which provides a promising tumor vaccination strategy.

Abstract
In recent years, virus-derived self-assembled protein nanoparticles (NPs) have emerged as attractive antigen delivery platforms for developing both preventive and therapeutic vaccines. In this study, we exploited the genetically engineered Norovirus S domain (Nov-S) with SpyCatcher003 fused to the C-terminus to develop a robust, modular, and versatile NP-based carrier platform (Nov-S-Catcher003). The NPs can be conveniently armed in a plug-and-play pattern with SpyTag003-linked antigens. Nov-S-Catcher003 was efficiently expressed in Escherichia coli and self-assembled into highly uniform NPs with a purified protein yield of 97.8 mg/L. The NPs presented high stability at different maintained temperatures and after undergoing differing numbers of freeze-thaw cycles. Tumor vaccine candidates were easily obtained by modifying Nov-S-Catcher003 NPs with SpyTag003-linked tumor antigens. Nov-S-Catcher003-antigen NPs significantly promoted the maturation of bone marrow-derived dendritic cells in vitro and were capable of efficiently migrating to lymph nodes in vivo. In TC-1 and B16F10 tumor-bearing mice, the subcutaneous immunization of NPs elicited robust tumor-specific T-cell immunity, reshaped the tumor microenvironment, and inhibited tumor growth. In the TC-1 model, the NPs even completely abolished established tumors. In conclusion, the Nov-S-Catcher003 system is a promising delivery platform for facilitating the development of NP-based cancer vaccines.

Abstract
As an interesting cancer immunotherapy approach, cancer vaccines have been developed to deliver tumor antigens and adjuvants to antigen-presenting cells (APCs). Although the safety and easy production shifted the vaccine designing platforms toward the subunit vaccines, their efficacy is limited due to inefficient vaccine delivery. Nanotechnology-based vaccines, called nanovaccines, address the delivery limitations through co-delivery of antigens and adjuvants into lymphoid organs and APCs and their intracellular release, leading to cross-presentation of antigens and induction of potent anti-tumor immune responses. Although the nanovaccines, either as encapsulating agents or biomimetic nanoparticles, exert the desired anti-tumor activities, there is evidence that the mixing formulation to form nanocomplexes between antigens and adjuvants based on the electrostatic interactions provokes high levels of immune responses owing to Ags' availability and faster release. Here, we summarized the various platforms for developing cancer vaccines and the advantages of using delivery systems. The cancer nanovaccines, including nanoparticle-based and biomimetic-based nanovaccines, are discussed in detail. Finally, we focused on the nanocomplexes formation between antigens and adjuvants as promising cancer nanovaccine platforms.

Abstract
Peptide-based vaccines, which form one of the most potent vaccine platforms, offer exclusive advantages over classical vaccines that use whole organisms or proteins. However, peptides alone are still poor stability and weak immunogenicity, thus need a delivery system that can overcome these shortcomings. Currently, nanotechnology has been extensively utilized to address this issue. Nanovaccines, as new formulations of vaccines using nanoparticles (NPs) as carriers or adjuvants, are undergoing development instead of conventional vaccines. Indeed, peptide-based nanovaccine is a rapidly developing field of research that is emerging out of the confluence of antigenic peptides with the nano-delivery system. In this review, we shed light on the rational design and preparation strategies based on various nanomaterials of peptide-based nanovaccines, and we spotlight progress in the development of peptide-based nanovaccines against cancer and infectious diseases. Finally, the future prospects for development of peptide-based nanovaccines are presented.

Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most prevalent sexually transmitted disease in the world. Even though preventive vaccines against HPV are effective, the effective treatment of HPV infections is much less satisfactory due to multi-drug resistance and secondary adverse effects. Nanotechnology was employed for the delivery of anti-cancer drugs to increase the effectiveness of the treatment and minimize the side effects. Nanodelivery of both preventive and therapeutic HPV vaccines has also been studied to boost vaccine efficacy. Overall, such developments suggest that the nanoparticle-based vaccine might emerge as the most cost-effective way to prevent and treat HPV cancer, assisted or combined with another nanotechnology-based therapy. This review focuses on the current knowledge on pathogenesis and vaccines against HPV, highlighting the current value and perspective regarding the widespread diffusion of HPV vaccines-based nanomaterials. The ongoing advancements in the design of vaccines-based nanomaterials are expanding their therapeutic roles against HPV.

Abstract
Cancer has emerged as one of the most severe diseases in modern times, various therapies have advanced remarkably in recent decades. Unlike the direct therapeutic targeting tumor cells, immunotherapy is a promising strategy that stimulate the immune system. In cancer immunotherapy, polymeric-based nanoparticles can serve as deliver systems for antigens and immunostimulatory molecules, and they have attracted increasing attention and revolutionized cancer therapy. Poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) is the most frequently used clinically approved biodegradable polymer and has a broad scope of modification of its inherent properties. Recent advances in PLGA based drug delivery systems in cancer immunotherapy have been described in this mini review, with special emphasis on cancer vaccines and tumor microenvironment modulation.

Abstract
Timely and accurate assessment and diagnosis are extremely important and beneficial for all diseases, especially for some of the major human disease, such as cancers, cardiovascular diseases, infectious diseases, and neurodegenerative diseases. Limited by the variable disease microenvironment, early imperceptible symptoms, complex immune system interactions, and delayed clinical phenotypes, disease diagnosis and treatment are difficult in most cases. Molecular imaging (MI) techniques can track therapeutic drugs and disease sites in vivo and in vitro in a non-invasive, real-time and visible strategies. Comprehensive visual imaging and quantitative analysis based on different levels can help to clarify the disease process, pathogenesis, drug pharmacokinetics, and further evaluate the therapeutic effects. This review summarizes the application of different MI techniques in the diagnosis and treatment of these major human diseases. It is hoped to shed a light on the development of related technologies and fields.

Abstract
Persistent infection with high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPVs), such as HPV-16 and HPV-18, can induce cervical cancer in humans. The disease carries high morbidity and mortality among females worldwide. Inoculation with prophylactic HPV vaccines, such as Gardasil® or Cervarix®, is the predominant method of preventing cervical cancer in females 6 to 26 years of age. However, despite the availability of commercial prophylactic HPV vaccines, no therapeutic HPV vaccines to eliminate existing HPV infections have been approved. Peptide-based vaccines, which form one of the most potent vaccine platforms, have been broadly investigated to overcome this shortcoming. Peptide-based vaccines are especially effective in inducing cellular immune responses and eradicating tumor cells when combined with nanoscale adjuvant particles and delivery systems. This review summarizes progress in the development of peptide-based nanovaccines against HPV infection.

Abstract
Protein-based subunit vaccine against tuberculosis (TB) is regarded as safer but with lower immunogenicity. To investigate effective adjuvant to improve the immunogenicity of TB subunit vaccine, we modified ploy(I:C) onto PLGA-PEG copolymer nanoparticle with polydopamine to produce a new nanoparticle adjuvant named "PLGA-PEG-poly(I:C)" (NP). M. tuberculosis fusion proteins Mtb10.4-HspX and ESAT-6-Rv2626c (M4) were encapsulated in the nanoparticles to produce the NP/M4 subunit vaccine. The PLGA-PEG/M4 nanoparticle was 200.21 ± 1.07 nm in diameter, and the polydispersity index (PDI) was 0.127 ± 0.02. Following modification with poly(I:C) by polydopamine, the NP/M4 was administered to C57BL/6 female mice intranasally and the immune responses were evaluated. The NP/M4 significantly induced antigen-specific CD4+ T cells proliferation, IL-2 and IFN-γ production. In addition, the NP/M4 could promote the production of antigen-specific IgG, IgG1, IgG2c in serum, and sIgA in lung washings. Overall, our results indicated that the NP would be a potential TB subunit vaccine adjuvant with the ability to induce strong Th1-type cell-mediated immunity and humoral immune responses.

Role of Damage-Associated Molecular Pattern/Cell Death Pathways in Vaccine-Induced Immunity. Viruses 2021; 13:v13122340. [PMID: 34960608 PMCID: PMC8708515 DOI: 10.3390/v13122340] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2021] [Revised: 11/17/2021] [Accepted: 11/18/2021] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Immune responses induced by natural infection and vaccination are known to be initiated by the recognition of microbial patterns by cognate receptors, since microbes and most vaccine components contain pathogen-associated molecular patterns. Recent discoveries on the roles of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and cell death in immunogenicity have improved our understanding of the mechanism underlying vaccine-induced immunity. DAMPs are usually immunologically inert, but can transform into alarming signals to activate the resting immune system in response to pathogenic infection, cellular stress and death, or tissue damage. The activation of DAMPs and cell death pathways can trigger local inflammation, occasionally mediating adaptive immunity, including antibody- and cell-mediated immune responses. Emerging evidence indicates that the components of vaccines and adjuvants induce immunogenicity via the stimulation of DAMP/cell death pathways. Furthermore, strategies for targeting this pathway to enhance immunogenicity are being investigated actively. In this review, we describe various DAMPs and focus on the roles of DAMP/cell death pathways in the context of vaccines for infectious diseases and cancer.

Abstract
Cancer vaccines based on DNA encoding oncogenes have shown great potential in preclinical studies. However, the efficacy of DNA vaccines is limited by their weak immunogenicity because of low cellular internalisation and insufficient activation of dendritic cells (DCs). Calcium phosphate (CP) nanoparticles (NPs) are biodegradable vehicles with low toxicity and high loading capacity of DNA but suffer from stability issues. Here we employed adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as a dual functional agent, i.e. stabiliser for CP and immunological adjuvant, and applied the ATP-modified CP (ACP) NPs to the DNA vaccine. ACP NP-enhanced cellular uptake and improved transfection efficiency of DNA vaccine, and further showed the ability to activate DCs that are critical for them to prime T cells in cancer immunotherapy. As a result, a higher level of antigen-specific antibody with stronger tumour growth inhibition was achieved in mice immunised with the ACP-DNA vaccine. Overall, this one-step synthesised ACP NPs are an efficient nano-delivery system and nano-adjuvant for cancer DNA vaccines.

Abstract
The disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection threatens human health. In this study, we used high-pressure homogenization technology not only to efficiently drive the bacterial membrane to produce artificial vesicles but also to force the fusion protein ClyA-receptor binding domain (RBD) to pass through gaps in the bacterial membrane to increase the contact between ClyA-RBD and the membrane. Therefore, the load of ClyA-RBD on the membrane is substantially increased. Using this technology, we constructed a "ring-like" bacterial biomimetic vesicle (BBV) loaded with polymerized RBD (RBD-BBV). RBD-BBVs injected subcutaneously can accumulate in lymph nodes, promote antigen uptake and processing, and elicit SARS-CoV-2-specific humoral and cellular immune responses in mice. In conclusion, we evaluated the potential of this novel bacterial vesicle as a vaccine delivery system and provided a new idea for the development of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines.

Abstract
Drug resistance of Klebsiella pneumoniae severely threatens human health. Overcoming the mechanisms of K. pneumoniae resistance to develop novel vaccines against drug-resistant K. pneumoniae is highly desired. Here, we report a technology platform that uses high pressure to drive drug-resistant K. pneumoniae to pass through a gap, inducing the formation of stable artificial bacterial biomimetic vesicles (BBVs). These BBVs had little to no bacterial intracellular protein or nucleic acid and had high yields. BBVs were efficiently taken up by dendritic cells to stimulate their maturation. BBVs as K. pneumoniae vaccines had the dual functions of inducing bacteria-specific humoral and cellular immune responses to increase animals' survival rate and reduce pulmonary inflammation and bacterial loads. We believe that BBVs are new-generation technology for bacterial vesicle preparation. Establishment of this BBV vaccine platform can maximally expand preparation technology for vaccines against drug-resistant K. pneumoniae.

Abstract
Neoantigens are tumor-specific antigens (TSAs) that are only expressed in tumor cells. They are ideal targets enabling T cells to recognize tumor cells and stimulate a potent antitumor immune response. Pyroptosis and ferroptosis are newly discovered types of programmed cell death (PCD) that are different from apoptosis, cell necrosis, and autophagy. Studies of ferroptosis and pyroptosis of cancer cells are increasing, and strategies to modify the tumor microenvironment (TME) through ferroptosis to inhibit the occurrence and development of cancer, improve prognosis, and increase the survival rate are popular research topics. In addition, adoptive T cell therapy (ACT), including chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) technology and T cell receptor engineered T cell (TCR-T) technology, and checkpoint blocking tumor immunotherapies (such as anti-PD- 1 and anti-PD-L1 agents), tumor vaccines and other therapeutic technologies that rely on tumor neoantigens are rapidly being developed. In this article, the relationship between neoantigens and pyroptosis and ferroptosis as well as the clinical role of neoantigens is reviewed.
