Bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are potent immuno-stimulating agents and have the potentials to be bioengineered as platforms for antitumor nanomedicine. In this study, OMVs are demonstrated as promising antitumor therapeutics. OMVs can lead to beneficial M2-to-M1 polarization of macrophages and induce pyroptosis to enhance antitumor immunity, but the therapeutic window of OMVs is narrow for its toxicity. We propose a bioengineering strategy to enhance the tumor-targeting ability of OMVs by macrophage-mediated delivery and improve the antitumor efficacy by co-loading of photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6) and chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin (DOX) into OMVs as a therapeutic platform. We demonstrate that systemic injection of the DOX/Ce6-OMVs@M therapeutic platform, providing combinational photodynamic/chemo-/immunotherapy, eradicates triple-negative breast tumors in mice without side effects. Importantly, this strategy also effectively prevents tumor metastasis to the lung. This OMVs-based strategy with bioengineering may serve as a powerful therapeutic platform for a synergic antitumor therapy.
