Project description:The hypomethylating agent 5-azacytidine (AZA) is the first-line induction therapy for AML patients unsuitable for intensive chemotherapy. The anti-tumor effect of AZA results in part from T-cell cytotoxic responses against MHC-I-associated peptides (MAPs) deriving from hypermethylated genomic regions such as cancer-testis antigens (CTAs), or endogenous retroelements (EREs). However, clear evidence supporting higher ERE MAPs presentation after AZA treatment in AML is lacking. Therefore, we examined the immunopeptidome of four AML cell lines treated with AZA through a proteogenomic approach to validate this hypothesis.

Project description:The development of cancer immunotherapeutics is limited by the discovery of actionable tumor-specific antigens (TSAs), which need to be presented at high levels on cancer cells, but not presented by normal tissues or presented at levels below the threshold for T-cell recognition to prevent autoimmunity. Accumulating evidence indicates that pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), namely embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced PSCs (iPSCs), express a class of pluripotency-associated MHC-I-associated peptides (paMAPs) that can be recognized by tumor-specific T cells. Hence, being strictly confined to the embryonic stage of development and absent from healthy adult tissues, paMAPs shared by iPSCs and tumors would represent ideal targets for the development of TSA-based vaccines against a wide range of cancers. We performed immunopeptidomic analyses of human iPSCs and we identified a set of paMAPs that could serve for the design of TSA-based vaccines against many cancers.

Project description:MHC I-associated peptides (MAPs) presented at the surface of nucleated cells play a central role in CD8 T-cell immunosurveillance. MAPs presented by mature (i.e. MHC IIhi) medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTEChi) are essential to eliminate self-reactive CD8 T cells in a process called central tolerance. On tumor cells, MAPs that do not induce tolerance (i.e. non-tolerogenic MAPs), because absent from mTEChi or any other normal cells, are referred to as tumor-specific antigens (TSAs). Despite their clinical relevance, very few have been identified, even in highly mutated tumor types. Thus, we developed a novel proteogenomic workflow able to characterize the full TSA landscape of any tumor. Briefly, using RNA-seq data, we subtracted the mTEChi from the tumor signal to generate tumor-specific protein databases enriched in non-tolerogenic sequences. Using these databases to analyze the MAP repertoire of two murine cell lines (CT26 and EL4) sequenced by mass spectrometry, we identified a total of 21 TSAs, 90% of which derived from allegedly non-coding regions. Interestingly, our results highlighted that 70% of those TSAs derived from non-mutated yet tumor-restricted sequences, e.g. endogenous retroelements. Moreover, we showed that our approach is easily amenable to analyze human primary samples as we were able to identify TSAs in three lung tumor biopsies and four B-ALL specimens. Focusing on 5 TSAs, we demonstrated that both TSA expression and TSA-specific T-cell frequency in the pre-immune repertoire influenced the overall survival of pre-immunized tumor-bearing mice. In conclusion, this proof-of-concept study demonstrates that non-coding-derived TSAs are frequent and protective in vivo, while they could be shared by several individuals. Altogether, our findings will help expand the repertoire of human TSAs and facilitate their prioritization in the clinic.

Project description:Defining the repertoire of peptides presented by the major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC I) is a key step towards the identification of relevant antigens for cancer immunotherapy. However, the identification of the cancer-specific antigens is a significant analytical challenge in view of their low abundance and low mutational load found in primary cancer specimens. Here, we describe the application of isobaric peptide labeling with tandem mass tag (TMT) to improve the detection of the MHC I peptides. Isobaric peptide labeling was found to promote the formation of multiply-charged ions and to enhance the formation of b-type fragment ions, thus resulting in a 50% improvement of MHC I peptide identification. The gain in sensitivity obtained using TMT labeling enabled the detection of low abundance MHC I peptides including tumor-specific antigens (TSAs) and minor histocompatibility antigens (MiHAs). We further demonstrate the application of this approach to quantify MiHAs presented by B-cell lymphocytes and determined their expression levels by LC-MS/MS using both synchronous precursor selection (SPS) and high field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry (FAIMS).

Project description:Significant technological advances in both affinity chromatography and mass spectrometry have facilitated the identification of peptides associated with the major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC I) molecules, and enabled a greater understanding of the dynamic nature of the immunopeptidome of normal and neoplastic cells. While the isolation of MHC I-associated peptides (MIPs) typically used mild acid elution (MAE) or immunoprecipitation (IP), limited information currently exists regarding their respective analytical merits. Here, we present a comparison of these approaches for the isolation of two different B-cell lymphoblasts cell models, and report on the recovery, reproducibility, scalability and complementarity of identification from each method. Both approaches yielded reproducible datasets for peptide extracts obtained from 2 to 100 million cells, with 2016 to 5093 MIPs, respectively. The IP typically provides up to 6.4 fold increase in MIPs compared to the MAE. We extended the comprehensiveness of these immunopeptidome analyses using personalized genomic database of B-cell lymphoblasts, and discovered that 0.4 % of their respective MIP repertoire harbored non-synonymous single nucleotide variations (also known as minor histocompatibility antigens, MiHAs).

Project description:Endogenous retroelements (ERE) constitute about 42% of the human genome and have been implicated in common human diseases such as autoimmunity and cancer. Despite evidence that some EREs can be expressed at the RNA and protein levels in specific contexts, a systems-level evaluation of their expression in human tissues is lacking. We report that all human tissues express EREs but the breadth and magnitude of ERE expression are very heterogeneous from one tissue to another. ERE expression was particularly high in two MHC-I-deficient tissues (ESCs and testis) and one MHC-I-expressing tissue, mTECs. In mutant mice, we report that the exceptional expression of EREs in mTECs was AIRE-independent. MS analyses identified 103 non-redundant ERE-derived MAPs (ereMAPs) in B-LCLs. These ereMAPs preferentially derived from sense translation of intronic EREs. Notably, detailed analyses of their amino acid composition revealed that ERE-derived MAPs presented homology to viral MAPs. This study shows that ERE expression in somatic tissues is more pervasive and heterogeneous than anticipated. The high and diversified expression of EREs in mTECs and their ability to generate MAPs suggest that EREs may play an important role in the establishment of self-tolerance. The viral-like properties of ERE-derived MAPs suggest that those not expressed in mTECs can be highly immunogenic.

Project description:Antigen presentation by cortical and medullary thymic epithelial cells (cTEC and mTEC) ensures the formation of a self-restricted and self-tolerant T cell repertoire, respectively. As such, a broad diversity of self-antigens needs to be presented by mTEC to induce T cell’s self-tolerance. Even though the expression and antigen presentation of protein coding genes in mTEC has been abundantly described, little is known of the implication of allegedly noncoding regions of the genome to tolerance induction. In this study, we focused on transposable elements (TE), which have been shown to be highly expressed by mTEC.

Project description:Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), is a leading cause of infectious disease mortality worldwide for which no sufficiently protective vaccine exists. CD8+ T cells contribute to protective immunity to TB, but the antigenic targets presented on MHC-I by macrophages infected with virulent Mtb for recognition by CD8+ T cells have not been conclusively defined. Here, we use mass spectrometry to directly identify Mtb-derived peptides presented on MHC class I (MHC-I) by infected primary human monocyte-derived macrophages. We identified 16 MHC-I peptides derived from 12 Mtb proteins, and validated these identifications using internal standard parallel reaction monitoring (SureQuant). Our results show that this set of antigens is highly enriched for substrates of type VII secretion systems (T7SS) relative to the Mtb proteome. Our results identify specific Mtb proteins that may be suitable targets for subunit vaccines designed to elicit protective CD8+ T cell-mediated immunity and suggest that T7SS substrates may be a fruitful class of antigens to prioritize for further vaccine target discovery efforts. Note: donors labeled A, C, D, E, H, and I in file names here are renamed sequentially (A, B, C, D, E, and F) in the manuscript describing this study to avoid confusion.
