Abstract
Abstract Developing promising biodegradable second near‐infrared (NIR‐II) immune agonists to overcome the insufficient immunogenicity of tumor cells and the poor immune response remains challenging. In this work, a biodegradable “2D genesheet” is explored for synergistic NIR‐II photothermal immunotherapy. The 2D genesheet is large‐scale prepared through flexible supramolecular self‐assembly between metallic‐MoS 2 and siRNA. The 2D genesheet not only exhibits an excellent photothermal conversion efficiency up to 56% in the NIR‐II window, but also features unique H 2 O 2 ‐responsive biodegradability and high biocompatibility. The 2D genesheet can efficiently deliver siRNA(siIDO) to tumor cells and downregulate indoleamine 2,3‐dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) protein expression, exerting intrinsic immune activation and reversing IDO1‐mediated immunosuppression. The spatiotemporal‐controlled NIR‐II phototherapy can elicit systemic immunity by evoking immunogenic cell death, promoting dendritic cell maturation, and increasing T cell infiltration. The bioactive material is able to efficiently inhibit primary and distant tumors, achieving a 100% tumor eradication rate. This study broadens the application prospects of biodegradable NIR‐II immune agonists, overcoming the limitations of current immunotherapeutic modalities.
