Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) immunotherapy has transformed cancer treatment by unleashing anti-tumor immune responses. However, its effectiveness in solid tumors is often limited by weak or insufficient immune activation. Herein, an immune-adjuvant strategy has been developed by integrating ICB and alternating magnetic field (AMF) activatable nanoagents to augment antitumor immunotherapy. The AMF-initiated nanoagents are composed of Fe 3 O 4 core and mesoporous organosilica shell (MOS) loaded with radical generator 2,2'-azabis(2-imidazoline) dihydrochloride (AIPH), abbreviated as Fe 3 O 4 @MOS-AIPH. The MOS shell with SSSS- bonds reacts with reductive glutathione (GSH), releasing Fe 3 O 4 and AIPH. The Fe 3 O 4 can rapidly heat up under AMF irradiation and decompose AIPH into alkyl free radicals, which promotes cell apoptosis via magnetic hyperthermia therapy and thermodynamic therapy (MHT/TDT), thereby effectively inducing immunogenic cell death (ICD) for subsequent dendritic cell maturation. By integrating MHT/TDT and anti-PD-L1 (anti-programmed death-ligand 1 antibody), the antitumor immune response has been greatly enhanced, resulting in the elimination of the primary tumor and effective suppression of distant tumors and lung metastases. The integration of AMF-initiated nanoagents and ICB provides insights into regulating immune cells through multimodal approaches.
