A Near-Infrared-II Fluorescent Nanocatalyst for Enhanced CAR T Cell Therapy against Solid Tumor by Immune Reprogramming

S quantum dots with CAR T cell membranes to improve the CAR T cell therapy in solid tumors. The APHA@CM has excellent multimodal imaging capability to precisely guide the scope and time window for nanocatalyst-induced tumor microenvironment regulation and CAR T cell therapy. The oxidase-like activity of Au NPs inhibited the glycolytic metabolism of tumor cells, reducing lactate efflux, reprogramming tumor immunosuppression, and ultimately increasing CAR T cell activation within the tumors. Additionally, the hypoxia environment of tumors could be relieved by HRP to enhance the Au/PDA NPs-induced synergistic sonodynamic/photothermal therapy (SDT/PTT), thereby promoting the immunogenic cell death of NALM 6 cells and enhancing CAR T cell-mediated immune microenvironment reprogramming. When this strategy was utilized to treat NALM 6 solid tumors, it not only completely eliminated tumors but also formed a long-term immune memory effect to inhibit tumor metastasis and recurrence. This work offers a strategy for CAR T cell therapy in solid tumor.
