While checkpoint blockade immunotherapy as a promising clinical modality has revolutionized cancer treatment, it is of benefit to only a subset of patients because of the tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment. Herein, we report that the specified delivery of vitamin C at the tumor site by responsive lipid nanoparticles can efficiently induce oxidative toxicity and the polarization of M1 macrophages, promoting the infiltration of activating cytotoxic T lymphocytes in the tumor microenvironment for intensive immune checkpoint blocking therapy. Both in vitro and in vivo assays demonstrate successful vitamin C-induced polarization of M2 macrophages to M1 macrophages. In vivo transcriptome analysis also reveals the activation mechanism of vitamin C immunity. More importantly, the combination approach displays much better immune response and immune process within the tumor microenvironment than clinical programmed cell death ligand 1 (Anti-PD-L1) alone. This work provides a powerful therapeutic application of vitamin C to amplify Anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy in cancer treatment, which brings hope to patients with clinically insensitive immunity.
