Long-range alternative splicing contributes to neoantigen specificity in glioblastoma.

ABSTRACT: Recent advances in neoantigen research have accelerated the development of immunotherapies for cancers, such as glioblastoma (GBM). Neoantigens resulting from genomic mutations and dysregulated alternative splicing have been studied in GBM. However, these studies have primarily focused on annotated alternatively-spliced transcripts, leaving non-annotated transcripts largely unexplored. Circular ribonucleic acids (circRNAs), abnormally regulated in tumors, are correlated with the presence of non-annotated linear transcripts with exon skipping events. But the extent to which these linear transcripts truly exist and their functions in cancer immunotherapies remain unknown. Here, we found the ubiquitous co-occurrence of circRNA biogenesis and alternative splicing across various tumor types, re
