Project description:Personalized cancer vaccines aim to activate and expand cytotoxic anti-tumor CD8+ T cells to recognize and kill tumor cells. However, the role of CD4+ T cell activation in the clinical benefit of these vaccines is not well defined. We previously established a personalized neoantigen vaccine (PancVAX) for the pancreatic cancer cell line Panc02, which activates tumor-specific CD8+ T cells but required combinatorial checkpoint modulators to achieve therapeutic efficacy. To determine the effects of neoantigen-specific CD4+ T cell activation, we generated a new vaccine (PancVAX2) targeting both MHCI- and MHCII-specific neoantigens. Tumor-bearing mice vaccinated with PancVAX2 had significantly improved control of tumor growth and long-term survival benefit without concurrent administration of checkpoint inhibitors. PancVAX2 significantly enhanced priming and recruitment of neoantigen-specific CD8+ T into the tumor with lower PD1 expression after reactivation compared to the CD8+ vaccine alone. Vaccine-induced neoantigen- specific Th1 CD4+ T cells in the tumor were associated with decreased T regulatory cells (Tregs). Consistent with this, PancVAX2 was associated with more pro-immune myeloid-derived suppressor cells and M1-like macrophages in the tumor demonstrating a less immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. This study demonstrates the biological importance of prioritizing and including CD4 T cell-specific neoantigens for personalized cancer vaccine modalities.

Project description:Cancer somatic mutations can generate neoantigens that distinguish malignant from normal cells. Such neoantigens have been implicated in response to immunotherapies including immune checkpoint blockade, yet their identification and validation remains challenging. Here we discover neoantigens in human mantle cell lymphomas using an integrated strategy for genomic and proteomic tumor antigen discovery that interrogates peptides presented within the tumor major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I and class II molecules. We applied this approach to systematically identify neoantigen peptides in diagnostic tumor specimens from 17 patients and several cell lines. Remarkably, the discovered neoantigenic peptides were invariably derived from the lymphoma immunoglobulin (Ig) heavy or light chain variable regions. Although we could identify MHC presentation of private germline polymorphic alleles, no mutated peptides were recovered from non-Ig somatically mutated genes. The immunoglobulin variable region somatic mutations were almost exclusively presented by MHC-II. We found T-cells specific for an immunoglobulin-derived neoantigen in the blood of a patient using MHC-II tetramers, and these T-cell clones expanded in frequency following tumor vaccination. These results demonstrate that an integrative approach combining MHC isolation, peptide identification and exome sequencing is an effective platform to uncover tumor neoantigens. Application of this strategy to human lymphoma implicates immunoglobulin neoantigens as targets for lymphoma immunotherapy.

Project description:Whole Genome Sequencing of the murine breast cancer cell line 4T1 and of the murine melanoma cell line B16-ova was carried out with the aim of identifying somatic mutations. We also ran deep Mass Spectrometry proteomics analysis on the same cell lines, aiming to determine which somatic mutations carry over to the protein expression level. Further, we tested these cancer specific protein epitopes (putative neoantigens) for immunogenicity using mouse models. Finally, the putative neoantigens that showed good immunogenic potential were used in tumor growth control experiments with mice engrafted with the two tumor cell lines. In these experiments we tested whether cancer vaccines based on individual neoantigen peptides (MHC-I) restricted the growth of the tumor compared to adequate controls. The overall aim of the project is to validate the ability of our multi-omics/bioinformatics pipeline to identify and deliver neoantigens that can be used to suppress tumor growth.

Project description:RNA Sequencing of the murine breast cancer cell line 4T1 and of the murine melanoma cell line B16-ova was carried out with the aim of establishing the complete transcriptome of these cell lines. Because these are cancer cells and we expect a lot of aberrant splicing, we carried out de novo assembly (genome guided) of the transcripts. We also ran deep Mass Spectrometry proteomics analysis on the same cell lines, aiming to determine which aberrant transcripts carry over to the protein expression level. Further, we tested these cancer specific protein epitopes (putative neoantigens) for immunogenicity using mouse models. Finally, the putative neoantigens that showed good immunogenic potential were used in tumor growth control experiments with mice engrafted with the two tumor cell lines. In these experiments we tested whether cancer vaccines based on individual neoantigen peptides (MHC-I) restricted the growth of the tumor compared to adequate controls.

Project description:Mutations in RNA splicing factors are prevalent across cancers and generate recurrently mis-spliced mRNA isoforms. Here we identified a series of bona fide neoantigens translated from highly stereotyped splicing alterations promoted by neomorphic, leukemia-associated somatic mutations in the splicing machinery. We utilized feature-barcoded peptide-MHC dextramers to isolate neoantigen-specific T cell receptors (TCR) from both healthy donors and patients with leukemia. While circulating neoantigen-specific CD8+ T cells were identified in patients with active disease, they were dysfunctional with reduced inflammatory response gene signatures. In contrast, donor CD8+ T cells with tumor-reactive TCRs were present following curative allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant. T cells engineered with TCRs recognizing an SRSF2 mutant-induced neoantigen in CLK3 resulted in specific recognition and cytotoxicity of SRSF2 mutant leukemia. These data identify RNA mis-splicing derived neoantigens and neoantigen-specific TCRs across patients and provide proof-of-concept to genetically redirect T cells to public mis-splicing derived neoantigens in myeloid leukemias.

Project description:Immunoglobulin gene rearrangement and somatic hypermutation have the potential to create neoantigens in non-Hodgkin B cell lymphoma. However, the presentation of these putative immunoglobulin neoantigens by B cell lymphomas has not been proven. We used MHC immunoprecipitation followed by liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to define antigens presented by follicular lymphomas (FL), chronic lymphocytic leukemias (CLL), diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and mantle cell lymphomas (MCL). We found presentation of the clonal immunoglobulin molecule, including neoantigens by both class I and class II MHC, though more commonly in class II MHC. To determine whether B cell activation could promote presentation of immunoglobulin neoantigens, we used a toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) agonists to upregulate expression of MHC-II. This resulted in enhanced class II MHC presentation of the immunoglobulin variable region including neoantigens. These findings demonstrate that immunoglobulin neoantigens are presented across most subtypes of B cell lymphomas. Activation of lymphoma cells to upregulate antigen presentation boosts presentation of immunoglobulin neoantigens and represents a strategy for augmenting lymphoma immunotherapies.

Project description:Neoantigen discovery in pediatric brain tumors is hampered by their low mutational burden and scant tissue availability. We developed a low-input proteogenomic approach combining tumor DNA/RNA sequencing and mass spectrometry proteomics to identify tumor-restricted (neoantigen) peptides arising from multiple genomic aberrations to generate a highly target-specific, autologous, personalized T cell immunotherapy. Our data indicate that novel splice junctions are the primary source of neoantigens in medulloblastoma, a common pediatric brain tumor. Proteogenomically identified tumor-specific peptides are immunogenic and generate MHC II-based T cell responses. Moreover, polyclonal and polyfunctional T cells specific for tumor-specific peptides effectively eliminated tumor cells in vitro. Targeting novel tumor-specific antigens obviates the issue of central immune tolerance while potentially providing a safety margin favoring combination with other immune-activating therapies. These findings demonstrate the proteogenomic discovery of immunogenic tumor-specific peptides and lay the groundwork for personalized targeted T cell therapies for children with brain tumors.
