is specifically activated by a cancer biomarker (cathepsin B) to trigger targeted proteolysis of immunosuppressive indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) in the tumor of living mice. The persistent IDO degradation blocks tryptophan (Trp)-catabolism program and promotes the activation of effector T cells. Such a SPNpro-mediated in-situ immunometabolic intervention synergizes immunogenic phototherapy to boost the antitumor T-cell immunity, effectively inhibiting tumor growth and metastasis. Thus, this study provides a polymer platform to advance PROTAC in cancer therapy.
