TLR7/8激动剂联合放疗:肿瘤原位疫苗应用新模式探索

A Novel Application Paradigm for Tumor In-Situ Vaccination: Synergistic Effects of TLR7/8 Agonists and Radiotherapy

  • 摘要: 近年来,肿瘤免疫治疗通过激活宿主免疫系统的抗肿瘤应答机制,在恶性肿瘤治疗领域取得了突破性进展,其中TLR激动剂因其独特的免疫调节功能备受关注。本文综述了TLR激动剂联合放疗在肿瘤免疫治疗中的研究进展,重点探讨其瘤内注射策略的临床转化潜力。多项临床研究表明,原位注射TLR激动剂联合放疗可通过诱导免疫原性细胞死亡释放肿瘤抗原,激活原位免疫应答,并引发远隔效应,从而显著抑制原发和转移病灶。此外,新型缓释制剂和“内源疫苗”设计进一步提升了治疗安全性与疗效持久性。尽管面临肿瘤微环境抑制、剂量优化等挑战,但通过联合免疫检查点抑制剂(ICIs)和纳米递送技术、筛选精准生物标志物,TLR激动剂有望为缺乏先天免疫的“冷”肿瘤的治疗提供新范式,推动肿瘤免疫治疗从局部控制迈向全身性根治。

     

    Abstract: Tumor immunotherapy has achieved breakthroughs in the treatment of malignant tumors by activating the host immune system’s antitumor response mechanism. Among various strategies, Toll-like receptor (TLR) agonists have garnered substantial attention due to their unique immunomodulatory capabilities. This work reviews the research progress on the combination of TLR agonists with radiotherapy in tumor immunotherapy, focusing on the clinical translational potential of intratumoral injection strategies. Clinical studies have shown that the in-situ injection of TLR agonists in combination with radiotherapy can effectively suppress primary and metastatic lesions by inducing immunogenic cell death, releasing tumor antigens, activating local immune responses, and triggering abscopal effects. Moreover, novel extended-release formulations and “endogenous vaccine” designs further enhance the safety and durability of treatment. Despite several challenges such as tumor microenvironment suppression and dose optimization, TLR agonists hold promise for the treatment of “cold” tumors lacking innate immunity through combinations with immune checkpoint inhibitors, nanodelivery technologies, and precise biomarker screening.
