Immunotherapy has achieved revolutionary success in clinics, but it remains challenging for treating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) characterized by high vascularization. Here, we reported that metal-organic framework-801 (MOF-801) could be employed as stimulator of interferon genes (STING) through Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) not just a drug delivery carrier. Notably, cytosine-phosphate-guanine oligodeoxynucleotides (CpG ODNs) and 5, 6-dimethylxanthenone-4-acetic acid (DMXAA) STING agonist with vascular disrupting function could coordinate with MOF-801 to self-assemble into a nanoparticle (MOF-CpG-DMXAA) that effectively delivered CpG ODNs and DMXAA to cells for synergistically improving the tumour microenvironment by reprogramming tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), promoting dendritic cells (DCs) maturation as well as destroying tumour blood vessels. In HCC-bearing mouse models, we demonstrated that MOF-CpG-DMXAA triggered systemic immune activation and stimulated robust tumoricidal immunity, resulting in a superior immunotherapeutic efficiency in orthotopic and recurrent HCC.
