摘要

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy has revolutionized the treatment of haematological malignancies. Challenges in overcoming physical barriers however greatly limit CAR-T cell efficacy in solid tumours. Here we show that an approach based on collagenase nanogel generally improves the outcome of T cell-based therapies, and specifically of CAR-T cell therapy. The nanogels are created by cross-linking collagenase and subsequently modifying them with a CXCR4 antagonist peptide. These nanogels can bind CAR-T cells via receptor–ligand interaction, resulting in cellular backpack delivery systems. The nanogel backpacks modulate tumoural infiltration and localization of CAR-T cells by surmounting physical barriers and disrupting chemokine-mediated CAR-T cell imprisonment, thereby addressing their navigation deficiency within solid tumours. Our approach offers a promising strategy for pancreatic cancer therapy and holds potential for advancing CAR-T cell therapy towards clinical applications.
