T cell activation by immune allorecognition is a major contributing factor toward the triggering of organ rejection. Immunosuppressive drugs have to be taken after organ transplantation, but long-term use of these drugs increases the risks of infection and other serious disorders. Here, we showed dysregulation of programmed cell death-ligand 1/programmed cell death 1 (PD-L1/PD-1) and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4/cluster of differentiation 80 (CTLA-4/CD80) in the spleen of two organ transplantation models. Using a bioengineering approach, cellular exosome-like nanovesicles (NVs) displaying PD-L1/CTLA-4 dual-targeting cargos were designed, and their specificity to bind their ligands PD-1 and CD80 on T cell and dendritic cell surfaces was confirmed. These NVs consequently enhanced PD-L1/PD-1 and CTLA-4/CD80 immune inhibitory pathways, two key immune checkpoints to co-inhibit T cell activation and maintain peripheral tolerance. It was also confirmed that PD-L1/CTLA-4 NVs led to the reduction of T cell activation and proliferationin vitroandin vivo. Finally, it was demonstrated that PD-L1/CTLA-4 NVs reduced density of CD8+T cells and cytokine production, enriched regulatory T cells, and prolonged the survival of mouse skin and heart grafts. Taken together, these data supported the idea that PD-L1/CTLA-4 dual-targeting NVs exert immune inhibitory effects and may be used as a prospective immunosuppressant in organ transplantation.
