Injectable hydrogels have attracted increasing attention for promoting systemic antitumor immune response through the co-delivery of chemotherapeutics and immunomodulators. However, the biosafety and bioactivity of conventional hydrogel depots are often impaired by insufficient possibilities for post-gelling injection and means for biofunction integration. Here, an unprecedented injectable stimuli-responsive immunomodulatory depot through programming a super-soft DNA hydrogel adjuvant is reported. This hydrogel system encoded with adenosine triphosphate aptamers can be intratumorally injected in a gel formulation and then undergoes significant molecular conformation change to stimulate the distinct release kinetics of co-encapsulated therapeutics. In this scenario, doxorubicin is first released to induce immunogenic cell death that intimately works together with the polymerized cytosine-phosphate-guanine oligodeoxynucleotide (CpG ODN) in gel scaffold for effectively recruiting and activating dendritic cells. The polymerized CpG ODN not only enhances tumor immunogenicity but minimizes free CpG-induced splenomegaly. Furthermore, the subsequently released anti-programmed cell death protein ligand 1 (aPDL1) blocks the corresponding immune inhibitory checkpoint molecule on tumor cells to sensitize antitumor T-cell immunity. This work thus contributes to the first proof-of-concept demonstration of a programmable super-soft DNA hydrogel system that perfectly matches the synergistic therapeutic modalities based on chemotherapeutic toxicity, in situ vaccination, and immune checkpoint blockade.
