Induced pluripotent stem cells display a unique set of MHC I-associated peptides shared by cancer cells
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We used a proteogenomic approach combining RNA-sequencing and mass spectrometry to study the MHC I-immunopeptidome specific to human iPSC samples. iPSCs were also analyzed after a 72h treatment with IFN-g (IFN-gamma) to boost MHC I levels and increase our chance for pluripotency-associated MHC I-associated peptide (paMAP) discovery. We identified 46 paMAPs which were absent from the RNA-seq of healthy somatic tissues and adult stem cells, but 40 of them were expressed in multiple cancer types from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). The antigens shared by iPSCs and tumors represent attractive targets for immunotherapy of poorly differentiated cancers.
