Ultrasound-activated miR-195-5p/shikonin nanobubbles remodel immunosuppressive microenvironment via immunogenic cell death to potentiate PD-1/PD-L1 blockade in hepatocellular carci... by Yandi Tan, Qiao Xu, Yezi Chen, Yun Liu, Chaoqi Liu, Xinwu Cui, Yun Zhao

“…Despite the transformative clinical impact of programmed cell death ligand 1/programmed death 1 (PD-1/PD-L1) blockade in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), therapeutic efficacy remains limited by the tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment (TIME), with objective response rates persistently below 20 %. To address this critical clinical challenge, we engineered ultrasound (US)-responsive lipid nanobubbles (NBs) co-encapsulating microRNA (miR)-195-5p and shikonin (SK) (designated miR-195-5p/SK-NBs), a dual-functional platform designed to synergize PD-L1 suppression with immunogenic cell death (ICD). …”
