    摘要: The present invention relates to a polymer composite for ultrasound-based cancer immunotherapy, which comprises an peroxalate derivatives, and a preparation method thereof. The polymer composite according to the present invention is a structure in which the peroxalate derivatives are encapsulated in an amphipathic polymer compound in which a biocompatible polymer and a sonosensitizer are combined. The peroxalate derivatives produce free electrons and carbon dioxide (CO2) by reaction with a high concentration of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in cancer tissue, the generated electrons raise the energy level of the sonosensitizer in the polymer composite to increase the amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, thereby exhibiting an effect of increasing the death rate of cancer cells. In addition, by ultrasound treatment, immunogenic cell death (ICD) is induced due to the cavitation effect of the produced CO2, so molecules capable of activating immune cells in cancer cells are released without damage to induce an immune response to cancer. Therefore, the polymer composite according to the present invention is expected to be effectively used as an ultrasound-based cancer immunotherapeutic agent.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a peptide for cancer immunotherapy that disrupts tumor-derived vesicles and a use thereof. The peptide according to the present invention has an α-helical structure, inhibits T-cell functional impairment caused by tumor-derived vesicles and controls the formation of a tumor microenvironment as an immunosuppressive environment by disrupting the tumor-derived vesicles, and has effects of not only enhancing cancer immunotherapy activity but also inhibiting the metastasis of cancer cells through co-administration with an immune checkpoint inhibitor. Additionally, when the peptide is modified with PEG through a pH-sensitive linker, it has effects of increasing the stability of the peptide in vivo, and disrupting tumor-derived vesicles under the pH condition of the tumor microenvironment. Accordingly, the peptide of the present invention is expected to be effectively used in a composition for cancer immunotherapy, a composition for enhancing the sensitivity of cancer immunotherapy, or the composition for inhibiting cancer metastasis.
