Project description:Neoantigens, which are expressed on tumor cells, are one of the main targets of an effective anti-tumor T-cell response. Cancer immunotherapies to target neoantigens are of growing interest, and are currently in early human trials, but methods to identify neoantigens either require invasive or difficult-to-obtain clinical specimens, the screening of hundreds to thousands of synthetic peptides or tandem minigenes or are only relevant to specific human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles. We apply deep learning to a large (N=74 patients) HLA peptide and genomic dataset from various human tumors to create a computational model of antigen presentation for neoantigen prediction. We show that our model, named EDGE, increases the positive predictive value of HLA antigen prediction by up to 9 fold. We apply EDGE to enable identification of neoantigens and neoantigen-reactive T cells using routine clinical specimens and small numbers of synthetic peptides for most common HLA alleles. EDGE could enable an improved ability to develop neoantigen-targeted immunotherapies for cancer patients.

Project description:Neoantigen-reactive cytotoxic T lymphocytes play a vital role in precise cancer cell elimination. In this study, we demonstrate the effectiveness of personalized neoantigen-based T cell therapy in inducing tumor regression in two patients suffering from heavily-burdened metastatic ovarian cancer. Our approach involved the development of a robust pipeline for ex vivo expansion of neoantigen-reactive T lymphocytes. Neoantigen peptides were designed and synthesized based on the somatic mutations of the tumors and their predicted HLA binding affinities. These peptides were then presented to T lymphocytes through co-culture with neoantigen-loaded dendritic cells for ex vivo expansion. Subsequent to cell therapy, both patients exhibited significant reductions in tumor marker levels and experienced substantial tumor regression. One patient achieved repeated cancer regression through infusions of T cell products generated from newly identified neoantigens. Transcriptomic analyses revealed a remarkable increase in neoantigen-reactive cytotoxic lymphocytes in the peripheral blood of the patients following cell therapy. These cytotoxic T lymphocytes expressed polyclonal T cell receptors (TCR) against neoantigens, along with abundant cytotoxic proteins and pro-inflammatory cytokines. The efficacy of neoantigen targeting was significantly associated with the immunogenicity and TCR polyclonality. Notably, the neoantigen-specific TCR clonotypes persisted in the peripheral blood after cell therapy. Our findings indicate that personalized neoantigen-based T cell therapy triggers cytotoxic lymphocytes expressing polyclonal TCR against ovarian cancer, suggesting its promising potential in cancer immunotherapy.

Project description:The purpose of this study is 1) to evaluate the feasibility of manufacturing a patient-specific neoantigen cancer vaccine, which involves predicting the patient’s neoantigens and generating a vaccine that encodes the predicted neoantigens; and, 2) to identify and select patients who may be eligible for a shared neoantigen cancer vaccine where their tumor contains a specific shared mutation and who have the correct HLA allele capable of presenting the neoantigen derived from the tumor-specific mutation.

Project description:We have used an agnostic approach to identify drug combinations by using combination high throughput screening (cHTS) technology and make the surprising discovery that adenosine A2A and beta-2 adrenergic receptor agonists are highly synergistic, selective and novel agents that enhance glucocorticoid activity in B-cell malignancies. We used the microarray study to understand the synergistic mechanism between dexamethasone and A2A receptor agonist or Beta-2 Adrenergic receptor agonist in a multiple myeloma cell line, MM1S. MM1S cells were treated with CGS-21680 or Salmeterol alone, or in combination with dexamethasone for six hours for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:We proposed a complete workflow for neoantigen identification and validation based solely on MS immunopeptidomics.We first developed a new Neo DiscoveryTM immunopeptidome enrichment Kit, which can be used for HLA peptide purification from a small amount of biopsied tissue as low as 18mg. To achieve high sensitivity with such a low amount of sample, we leveraged the power of deep learning and a massive amount of MS-based immunopeptidomics data to build DeepNovo-HLA, a de novo sequencing model specialized for HLA peptides. We also developed DeepImmu, a personalized model for immunogenicity prediction based on the central tolerance of T cells, i.e. the positive and negative selection of T cells in an individual patient.

Project description:Systemic pan-tumor analyses may reveal the significance of common features implicated in cancer immunogenicity and patient survival. Here, we provide a comprehensive multi-omics data set for 32 patients across 25 tumor types for proteogenomic-based discovery of neoantigens. By using an optimized computational approach, we discover a large number of tumor-specific and tumor-associated antigens. To create a pipeline for the identification of neoantigens in our cohort, we combine DNA and RNA sequencing with MS-based immunopeptidomics of tumor specimens, followed by the assessment of their immunogenicity and an in-depth validation process. We detect a broad variety of non-canonical HLA-binding peptides in the majority of patients demonstrating partially immunogenicity. Our validation process allows for the selection of 32 potential neoantigen candidates. The majority of neoantigen candidates originates from variants identified in the RNA data set, illustrating the relevance of RNA as a still understudied source of cancer antigens. This study underlines the importance of RNA-centered variant detection for the identification of shared biomarkers and potentially relevant neoantigen candidates.

Project description:Background: Patient derived organoids (PDOs) can be established from colorectal cancers as in vitro models to interrogate cancer biology and its clinical relevance. We applied mass spectrometry (MS) immunopeptidomics to investigate neoantigen presentation and whether this can be augmented through interferon gamma (IFN) or MEK-inhibitors. Methods: Four PDOs from chemotherapy refractory and one from a treatment naïve CRC were expanded to replicates with 100 million cells each, and HLA class I and class II peptide ligands were analysed by MS. Results: We identified an average of 9,936 unique peptides per PDO which compares favourably against published immunopeptidomics studies, suggesting high sensitivity. Loss of heterozygosity of the HLA locus was associated with low peptide diversity in one PDO. Peptides from genes without detectable expression by RNA-sequencing were rarely identified by MS. Only 3 out of 612 non-silent mutations encoded for neoantigens that were detected by MS. Treatment of four PDOs with IFN upregulated HLA class I expression and qualitatively changed the immunopeptidome, with increased presentation of IFN-inducible genes. HLA class II presented peptides increased on average 16-fold with IFN treatment. MEK-inhibitor treatment showed no consistent effect on class I or II HLA expression or the peptidome. Importantly, no additional HLA class I or II presented neoantigens became detectable with any treatment. Conclusions: Only 3 out of 612 non-synonymous mutations encoded for neoantigens that were detectable by MS. Although MS has sensitivity limits and biases, and likely underestimated the true neoantigen burden, this established a lower bound of the percentage of non-silent mutations that encode for presented neoantigens, which may be as low as 0.5%. This could be a reason for the poor responses of non-hypermutated CRCs to immune checkpoint inhibitors. MEK-inhibitors recently failed to improve checkpoint-inhibitor efficacy in CRC and the observed lack of HLA upregulation or improved peptide presentation may explain this.

Project description:The study pursued dual goals: To advance mRNA-seq bioinformatics towards unbiased transcriptome capture and to demonstrate its potential for discovery in neuroscience by applying the approach to an in vivo model of neurological disease. We found that 12.4% of known genes were induced and 7% were suppressed in the dysfunctional (but anatomically intact) L4 dorsal root ganglion (DRG) 2 weeks after L5 spinal Nerve Ligation (SNL). A new algorithm for agnostic mapping of pre-mRNA splice junctions (SJ) achieved a precision of 97%. mRNA-seq of L4 DRG 2 weeks and 2 months after L5 spinal nerve ligation. CONTROL and SNL were used to identify differential gene expression between chronic pain and standard conditions in Rattus norvegicus. CONTROL and SNL and PILOT were used to perform 'agnostic splice site discovery' in the nervous system transcriptome in Rattus norvegicus

Project description:Background. Assessment of non-HLA variants alongside standard HLA testing was previously shown to improve the identification of potential coeliac disease (CD) patients. We intended to identify new genetic variants associated with CD in the Polish population that would improve CD risk prediction when used alongside HLA haplotype analysis. Results. Association analysis using four HLA-tagging SNPs showed that, as was found in other populations, positive predicting genotypes (HLA-DQ2.5/DQ2.5, HLA-DQ2.5/DQ2.2, and HLA-DQ2.5/DQ8) were found at higher frequencies in CD patients than in healthy control individuals in the Polish population. Both CD-associated SNPs discovered by GWAS were found in the CD susceptibility region, confirming the previously-determined association of the major histocompatibility (MHC) region with CD pathogenesis. The two most significant SNPs from the GWAS were rs9272346 (HLA-dependent; localized within 1 Kb of DQA1) and rs3130484 (HLA-independent; mapped to MSH5). Specificity of CD prediction using the four HLA-tagging SNPs achieved 92.9%, but sensitivity was only 45.5%. However, when a testing combination of the HLA-tagging SNPs and the MSH5 SNP was used, specificity decreased to 80%, and sensitivity increased to 74%.
