Quantitative cell type specific immunopeptidome analysis during macrophage and tumor co-evolution reveals therapeutic MHC-I restricted peptides in glioblastoma
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Glioblastoma treatment by immunotherapy is limited by the immunosuppresive tumor microenvironment, in part created by GBM associated macrophages. To uncover targetable MHC-I peptides for targeted immunotherapy, we performed cell type specific immunopeptidome analysis on primary macrophages and GBM tumor cells in a co-culture system to profile antigen presentation at the tumor:macrophage interface. Profiling the MHC-I restricted peptides revealed systematic antigen presentation alteration in both GBM tumors and macrophages during their co-evolution. We selected co-culture induced significantly altered peptides (CIVS peptides) which can serve as potential immunotherapy targets, and developed an mRNA vaccine encoding six selected CIVS peptides from GAMs and GBM tumor cells. Two doses of mRNA vaccination generated antigen specific immune response, significantly delayed GBM tumor growth, and in some cases eradicated tumor, demonstrating the translational potential of CIVS peptides as therapeutic targets for GBM/GAM targeting vaccines.
