A novel microprotein HDSP encoded by HOXA10-HOXA9 triggers progression of gastric cancer through maintaining the stability of MECOM and activating MECOM /SPINK1-/EGFR signaling

ABSTRACT: The presence of noncanonical open reading frames within lncRNAs suggests their potential for translation, yielding various functional peptides or proteins. However, the existence and specific roles of these products in gastric cancer remain largely unexplored. Here we identify the HOXA10-HOXA9-derived small protein (HDSP) in gastric cancer through comprehensive analysis and experimental validation, including mass spectrometry and western blotting. HDSP exhibits high expression and oncogenic roles in gastric cancer. Mechanistically, HDSP blocks TRIM25-mediated ubiquitination and degradation by interacting with MECOM, leading to MECOM accumulation and enhanced SPINK1 transcription-a gene promoting cancer via the EGFR signaling pathway. Furthermore, MECOM fosters HOXA10-HOXA9 transcription, establishing a feedback loop activating SPINK1-EGFR signaling. HDSP knockdown inhibits tumor growth in a PDX model, and infusion of an artificially synthesized HDSP peptide as a neoantigen enhances immune cell-mediated anti-tumor efficacy against gastric cancer in vitro and in vivo. These findings propose HDSP as a potential therapeutic target or neoantigen candidate for gastric cancer treatment.

Warehouse-based, immunopeptidome-guided design of personalised peptide vaccines shows feasibility in clinical trial evaluation in CLL patients

Project description:Cancer peptide vaccination represents a promising therapeutic approach, but has been hampered by lack of suitable antigens and restricted applicability due to different HLA backgrounds of individual patients. We here introduce a novel warehouse-based concept for composition of personalized peptide vaccines and report on its successful application in a Phase II clinical trial in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) after first-line therapy. 26 CLL patients in at least partial remission (PR) after 6 months of immuno-chemotherapy were vaccinated with a personalized vaccine compiled from a premanufactured peptide warehouse comprising immunopeptidome-defined CLL-associated peptides. Primary objective was evaluation of immunogenicity, secondary objectives were safety and minimal residual disease (MRD) response. Immunopeptidome-guided vaccine composition was throughout successful, proving the feasibility of warehouse-based vaccine design. Vaccination was well tolerated, with local injection site reactions being the most common adverse event. Only few patients showed vaccine-induced T cell responses, attributable to their inability to mount strong immune responses due to immunechemotherapy and lack of potent adjuvant formulations. Both issues are addressed within a follow-up trial (NCT04688385), combining the immunopeptidome-guided warehouse-based vaccine design reported here with a potent novel adjuvant evaluating personalized multi- peptide vaccination in CLL patients under T cell supportive BTK inhibitor therapies.

Immunoprecipitation methods impact the peptide repertoire in immunopeptidomics

Project description:T cell-based immunotherapies, which have become a promising treatment approach for cancer patients, rely on the identification of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-presented peptides. Mass spectrometry-based immunopeptidomics is the state-of-the-art method for the identification of clinically relevant naturally presented HLA-restricted tumor-associated antigens. In the last years, different methods for the immunoprecipitation-based isolation of HLA-presented peptides have been developed and are used in the field. Here, we performed a comparison of a column-based with a high-throughput 96-well method by analyzing the immunopeptidome of cell lines as well as primary solid and hematological tumor samples. Whereas no differences in the total number of identified peptides were observed, the column-based method identified method-exclusive peptides that featured higher hydrophobicity and exhibited improved predicted immunogenicity. Adding an additional acetonitrile elution step to the 96-well method could partially reduce this hydrophilic shift. In total, we showed that immunopeptidomics data is affected by the immunoprecipitation method used for isolation, which might have a critical impact on the selection of target antigens and has to be considered when selecting clinically relevant targets for the development of T cell-based immunotherapies.

DNMT and HDAC inhibition induces immunogenic neoantigens from human endogenous retroviral element-derived transcripts

Project description:Immunotherapies targeting cancer-specific neoantigens have revolutionized the treatment of cancer patients. Recent evidence suggests that epigenetic therapies synergize with immunotherapies, mediated bythe de-repression of endogenous retroviral element (ERV)-encoded promoters, and the initiation of transcription. Here, we use deep RNA sequencing from cancer cell lines treated with DNA methyltransferase inhibitors (DNMTi) and/or Histone deacetylase transferase inhibitors (HDACi), to assemble a de novo transcriptome and identified 3,023 ERV-derived, treatment-induced novel polyadenylated transcripts (TINPATs), encoding for 61,426 open reading frames. Using Immunopeptidomics, we further demonstrate the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) presentation of treatment-induced neoepitopes (t-neoepitopes) derived from TINPATs. We illustrate the potential of the identified t-neoepitopes to elicit a T-cell response and cancer cell killing. The presence of t-neoepitopes was further verified in AML patient samples 48/96 h after in vivo treatment with the DNMT inhibitor Decitabine. Our findings highlight a novel mechanism of ERV-derived neoantigens in epigenetic and immune therapies.

Syndecan-4 is a maestro of gastric cancer cell invasion and communication that underscores poor survival

Project description:Gastric cancer is a dominating cause of cancer-associated mortality with limited therapeutic options. Here, we show that syndecan-4 (SDC4), a plasma membrane proteoglycan, is highly expressed in intestinal subtype gastric tumours and that this signature associates with patients’ poor survival. Further, we mechanistically demonstrate that SDC4 is a master regulator of gastric cancer motility and invasion. We also find that SDC4 conjugated with heparan sulfate chains is efficiently sorted in extracellular vesicles (EVs). Interestingly, SDC4 in EVs regulates gastric cancer cell-derived EV organ distribution, uptake and functional effects in recipient cells. Specifically, we show that SDC4 knockout disrupts the tropism of EVs for the common gastric cancer metastatic sites. Our findings set the basis of the molecular implications of SDC4 expression in gastric cancer cells and open new perspectives on the development of therapeutic strategies targeting the glycan-EV axis to limit tumour progression.

Mapping the soluble human leukocyte antigen peptidome of pleural effusions reveals lung and tumor-associated antigens

Project description:Soluble HLA (sHLA) molecules released to the plasma, carry their original peptide cargo and provide insight into the protein synthesis and degradation schemes of their source cells and tissues. Other body fluids, such as pleural effusions, may also contain sHLA-peptide complexes, and can potentially serve as a source of tumor antigens since these fluids are drained from the tumor microenvironment. Thus, we developed a methodology for purifying and analysing large pleural effusion sHLA class I peptidomes of patients inflicted with malignancies or benign diseases. The cleared pleural fluids, the cell pellets present in the pleural effusions, and the primary tumor cells cultured from cancer patients’ effusions, were used for immunoaffinity purification of the HLA molecules. The recovered HLA peptides were analyzed by capillary chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry and the resulting LC-MS/MS data was analyzed with the MaxQuant software tool. Large HLA peptidomes were obtained by the analysis of the pleural effusions. The majority of peptides identified from the pleural effusions were defined as HLA ligands that fit the patients’ HLA consensus sequence motifs. The membranal and soluble HLA peptidomes of each individual patient were somewhat similar to each other. Many of the HLA peptides were derived from known tumor-associated antigens, lung-related proteins, and VEGF pathway proteins. Thus, the pleural effusion HLA peptidome of patients with malignant tumors can serve as a rich source of biomarkers for tumor diagnosis and personalized immunotherapy.

Nkx2.1 represses a latent gastric differentiation program in lung adenocarcinoma

Project description:During cancer evolution, cellular differentiation programs become dysregulated. The transcription factor Nkx2-1 is a master regulator of pulmonary differentiation that is downregulated in poorly differentiated lung adenocarcinoma. Here we use conditional murine genetics to study the fate of lung epithelial cells upon loss of their master cell fate regulator. Nkx2-1 deletion in normal and neoplastic lung causes not only loss of pulmonary identity but also gastric transdifferentiation. Nkx2-1 maintains pulmonary identity by sequestering the Foxa1 transcription factor at lung-specific loci and inhibiting Foxa1 binding to gastrointestinal targets. Murine Nkx2-1-negative lung tumors mimic the mucinous subtype of human lung adenocarcinoma, which also exhibits gastric transdifferentiation. Nkx2-1-negative lung adenocarcinomas are dependent on the gastrointestinal gene Hnf4a for efficient initiation. Thus, loss of Nkx2-1 results in transdifferentiation rather than stable dedifferentiation in vivo, suggesting that inactivation of both active and latent differentiation programs may be required for tumors to reach a primitive, dedifferentiated state. The study was designed to compare the expression profiles of Nkx2-1-positive lung adenocarcinomas with tumors in which Nkx2-1 was deleted at the time of initiation or 6-7 months after initiation.

Integrative -omics and HLA-ligandomics analysis to identify novel drug targets for ccRCC immunotherapy

Project description:Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the dominant subtype of renal cancer. With currently available therapies, cure of advanced and metastatic ccRCC is achieved only in rare cases. Here, we developed a workflow integrating different -omics technologies to identify ccRCC-specific HLA-presented peptides as potential drug targets for ccRCC immunotherapy. We analyzed frequent ccRCC-specific peptides by MS-based HLA ligandomics of 55 ccRCC tumors (cohort 1), paired non-tumor renal tissues and 158 benign tissues from other organs. Pathways enriched in ccRCC compared to its cell type of origin were identified by transcriptome and gene set enrichment analyses in 51 tumor tissues of the same cohort. To retrieve a list of candidate target genes with involvement in ccRCC pathogenesis, ccRCC-specific pathway genes were intersected with the source genes of tumor-exclusive peptides. The candidates were validated in an independent cohort from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA KIRC, n=452), yielding 113 candidate genes. DNA methylation (TCGA KIRC, n=273), and somatic mutations (TCGA KIRC, n=392), as well as correlations with tumor metabolites (cohort 1, n=30) and immune-oncological markers (cohort 1, n=37) were analyzed to refine regulatory and functional involvements of candidates. Immunogenicity analysis identified candidate epitopes able to activate native CD8+ T cells. Functional analysis of EGLN3, a candidate with frequent ccRCC-specific immunogenic peptides, revealed possible tumor-promoting functions. Integration of HLA ligandomics, transcriptomics, genetic and epigenetic data leads to the identification of novel functionally relevant therapeutic targets for ccRCC immunotherapy. Validation of the identified targets is now mandatory to expand the treatment landscape of ccRCC.

Molecular analysis of gastric cancer identifies discrete subtypes associated with distinct clinical characteristics and survival outcomes: the ACRG (Asian Cancer Research Group) study [gastric tumors]

Project description:Gastric cancer, a leading cause of cancer related deaths, is a heterogeneous disease, with little consensus on molecular subclasses and their clinical relevance. We describe four molecular subtypes linked with distinct patterns of molecular alterations, disease progression and prognosis viz. a) Microsatellite Instable: hypermutated intestinal subtype tumors occurring in antrum, best overall prognosis, lower frequency of recurrence (22%), with liver metastasis in 23% of recurred cases b) Mesenchymal-like: diffuse tumors with worst prognosis, a tendency to occur at an earlier age and highest recurrence (63%) with peritoneal seeding in 64% of recurred cases, low frequency of molecular alterations c) TP53-inactive with TP53 loss, presence of focal amplifications and chromosomal instability d) TP53-active marked by EBV infection and PIK3CA mutations. The key molecular mechanisms and associated survival patterns are validated in multiple independent cohorts, to provide a consistent and unified framework for further preclinical and clinical research.

Direct Signaling Between Platelets and Cancer Cells Induces an Epithelial-Mesenchymal-Like Transition and Promotes Metastasis

Project description:Interactions of cancer cells with the primary tumor microenvironment are important determinants of cancer progression towards metastasis but it is unknown whether additional prometastatic signals are provided during the intravascular transit to the site of metastasis. Here, we show that transient platelet-tumor cell interactions are sufficient to prime tumor cells for subsequent metastasis. Platelet-derived TGF-beta and direct platelet-tumor cell contacts synergistically activate the TGF-beta/Smad and NF-kappaB pathways in cancer cells, resulting in their transition to an invasive mesenchymal-like phenotype and enhanced metastasis in vivo. Inhibition of NF-kappaB signaling in cancer cells or ablation of TGF-beta1 expression solely in platelets protects against lung metastasis in vivo. Thus, cancer cells rely on platelet-derived signals outside of the primary tumor for efficient metastasis. MoEx-1_0-st: Five replicates of Ep5 tumor cells cultured alone, five replicates of tumor cells cultured in combination with platelets, and three replicates of tumor cells combined with platelets just prior to RNA isolation to control for the presence of platelet RNAs. MoGene-1_0-st: Three replicates of tumor cells cultured alone, three replicates of tumor cells cultured in combination with platelets, three replicates of tumor cells cultured with centrifuged platelets and three replicates of tumor cells cultured with supernate (releasate) from centrifuged platelets.
