摘要
Chimeric antigen receptor T(CAR-T)cells have reshaped the treatment landscape of hematological malignancies,offering a potentially curative option for patients.Despite these major milestones in the field of immuno-oncology,growing experience with CAR-T cells has also highlighted several limitations of this strategy.The production process of CAR-T cells is complex,time-consuming,and costly,thus leading to poor drug accessibility.The potential carcinogenic risk of viral transfection systems remains a matter of controversy.Treatment-related side effects,such as cytokine release syndrome,can be life-threatening.And the biggest challenge is the inadequate efficacy related to poor infiltration and retention of CAR-T cells in tumor tissues and impaired T cell activation caused by the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment(TME).Innovative strategies are urgently needed to address these problems,and nanomedicine offers good solutions to these challenges.In this review,we provide a comprehensive summary of recent advancements in the application of nanomaterials to enhance CAR-T cell therapy.We examine the role of innovative nanoparticle-based delivery systems in the production of CAR-T cells,with a particular focus on polymeric delivery systems and lipid nanoparticles(LNPs).Furthermore,we explore various strategies for delivering immune stimulators,which significantly enhance the efficacy of CAR-T cells by modulating T cell viability and functionality or by reprogramming the immunosuppressive TME.In addition,we discuss several novel therapeutic approaches aimed at mitigating the adverse effects associated with CAR-T therapies.Finally,we offer an integrated perspective on the future challenges and opportunities facing CAR-T therapies.
