چکیده

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) remains a therapeutic challenge due to its aggressive nature, immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, and resistance to conventional therapies. Immune checkpoint modulation, particularly targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 axis, has shown promise but is limited by systemic toxicity and insufficient tumor-specific delivery. Combining chemotherapy with immune checkpoint blockade offers a synergistic strategy to enhance antitumor efficacy while mitigating immune evasion. This review explores the novel use of dual-ligand liposomes for the co-delivery of cisplatin, a platinum-based chemotherapeutic agent, and anti-PD-L1 siRNA to simultaneously induce tumor cell death and reverse PD-L1-mediated immunosuppression. By integrating two targeting ligands, these nanocarriers improve tumor specificity, reduce off-target effects, and enhance drug accumulation in HNSCC tissues. Preclinical studies demonstrate that this approach potentiates cisplatin’s cytotoxic effects while silencing PD-L1 to activate cytotoxic T lymphocytes, fostering a durable antitumor immune response. The dual-ligand design addresses key limitations of single-ligand systems, offering a platform for precise, combinatorial therapy.
