ABSTRACT: Our extended analysis of the HLA-presented antigen landscape in cervical cancer cells using an integrative proteogenomics approach identifies, next to tumour-associated antigens and tumour-specific neoantigens, presentation of viral canonical, and alternative reading frame (ARF)-derived HLA-presented sequences, including peptides derived from HPV-E1.

Current immunotherapeutic approaches for human papillomavirus (HPV)-driven cervical cancer target the viral oncogenes E6 and E7. We report viral canonical and alternative reading frame (ARF)-derived sequences presented on cervical tumor cells, including antigens encoded by the conserved viral gene E1. We confirm immunogenicity of the identified viral peptides in HPV-positive women, and women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. We observe consistent transcription of the E1, E6, and E7 genes ...[more]

Project description:Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) - B*51:01 and endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 1 (ERAP1) are two strong predisposing genetic factors to Behçet's disease (BD). Previous studies have focused on two subgroups of HLA-B*51 peptidome containing Proline (Pro) or Alanine (Ala) at position 2 (P2). Little is known about the unconventional non-Pro/Ala2 HLA-B*51-bound peptides. We aimed to study the features of this novel sub-peptidome, and investigate its regulation by ERAP1. CRISPR-Cas9 was used to generate an HLA-ABC-knockout HeLa cell line (HeLa.ABC-KO), which was subsequently transduced to express HLA-B*51:01 (HeLa.ABC-KO.B51). ERAP1 was silenced using lentiviral shRNA. Peptides bound to HLA-B*51:01 were eluted and analyzed by Mass Spectrometry. The characteristics of non-Pro/Ala2, Pro2 and Ala2 peptides, and their alteration by ERAP1 silencing were investigated. Effects of ERAP1 silencing on cell surface expression of HLA-B*51:01 were studied using flow cytometry. More than 20% of peptides eluted from HLA-B*51:01 lacked Proline or Alanine at P2. This unconventional group of HLA-B*51:01-bound peptides was enriched for 8-mers (with fewer 9-mers) compared to Pro2 and Ala2 sub-peptidomes, and had similar N-terminal and C-terminal residue usages to Ala2 peptides with the exception of the less abundant Leucine at position Ω. Knockdown of ERAP1 increased the percentage of non-Pro/Ala2 to approximately 40%, increased the percentage of longer (10-mer and 11-mer) peptides eluted from HLA-B*51:01 complexes, and abrogated the predominance of Leucine at P1. Interestingly knockdown of ERAP1 altered the length and N-terminal residue usage of non-Ala2&Pro2 and Ala2 but not the Pro2 peptides. Finally, ERAP1 silencing regulated the expression levels of cell surface HLA-B*51 in a cell type - dependent manner. The HLA-B*51:01 peptidome includes a surprisingly high proportion of unconventional non-Pro/Ala2 peptides which are increased by ERAP1 silencing, mimicking the loss-of-function BD risk variant.

Project description:The presentation of virus-derived peptides by HLA class I molecules on the surface of an infected cell and the recognition of these HLA-peptide complexes by, and subsequent activation of, CD8+ cytotoxic T cells provides an important mechanism for immune protection against viruses. Recent advances in proteogenomics have allowed researchers to discover a growing number of unique HLA-restricted viral peptides, resulting in a rapidly expanding repertoire of targets for immunotherapeutics (i.e. bispecific antibodies, engineered T-cell receptors (TCRs), chimeric antigen receptor T-cells (CAR-Ts)) to infected tissues. However, genomic variability between viral strains, such as Hepatitis-B virus (HBV), in combination with differences in patient HLA alleles, make it difficult to develop therapeutics against these targets. To address this challenge, we developed a novel proteogenomics approach for generating patient-specific databases that enable the identification of viral peptides based on the viral transcriptomes sequenced from individual patient liver samples. We also utilized DNA sequencing of patient samples to identify HLA genotypes and assist in target selection. Liver samples from 48 HBV infected patients, primarily from Asia, were examined to reconstruct patient-specific HBV genomes, identify regions within the human chromosomes targeted by HBV integrations and obtain a comprehensive view of HBV peptide epitopes using our HLA class-I (HLA-I) immunopeptidomics discovery platform. Two previously reported HLA associated HBV-derived peptides, HLA-A02 binder FLLTRILTI (S194-202) from the large surface antigen and HLA-A11 binder STLPETTVVRR (C141-151) from the capsid protein were validated by our discovery platform, but both were detected at a very low frequencies. In addition, we identified and validated, using heavy peptide analogues, novel strain-specific HBV-HLA associated peptides, such as GSLPQEHIVQK (P606-616) and variants. Overall, our novel approach can guide the development of bispecific antibody, TCR-T, or CAR-T based therapeutics for the treatment of HBV-related HCC and inform vaccine development.
