Project description:CD8 T cell responses against different tumor neoantigens occur simultaneously, yet little is known about the interplay of these responses or its impact on tumor control. Here, we characterized the CD8 T cell response against two co-expressed tumor neoantigens, SIINFEKL (SIIN) and SIYRYYGL (SIY), in a genetically engineered mouse model of lung adenocarcinoma. In this model, tumors are initiated in KrasLSLG12D;p53fl/fl (KP) mice by intratracheal installation of lentiviruses expressing Cre recombinase and the antigens as a fusion to luciferase (LucOS). In these KP LucOS mice, the CD8 T cell response peaks around 5 weeks post-tumor initiation and is dominated by expansion of cells specific to SIIN. SIY drives a much smaller T cell response, but it persists better over time. To further investigate phenotypic differences in the T cell responses against SIIN versus SIY, we subjected antigen-specific CD8 T cells from 5 week mice to paired single cell RNA and TCR sequencing using the 10X Genomics platform.

Project description:We employed a hybrid method based on Oxford Nanopore long-read sequencing and Illumina sequencing to characterize the AS landscapes, and to identify AS-derived neoantigens. Furthermore, we used the AlphaFold2 algorithm to analyze the structure of these putative neoantigens, thus offering structural insights for further drug development. These results lay the foundation for the development of therapies targeting UM-specific, AS-derived neoantigens.

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: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:Targeting tumor-specific neoantigens is promising for cancer immunotherapy, yet their ultra-low expression on tumor cells poses significant challenges for T cell therapies. Here, we found that chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) exhibited 10-100 times lower sensitivity compared to T cell receptors (TCRs) when targeting p53R175H common neoantigen. To enhance CAR functionality, we introduce T cell receptor fusion construct (TRuC) and synthetic TCR and antigen receptor (STAR). Our data demonstrate that STAR, which incorporates TCR-mimic antibody fragments and complete TCR signaling machinery, optimally reproduces antigen sensitivity of TCRs. STAR outperforms both CAR and TRuC in redirecting both CD8+ and CD4+ T cells to recognize HLA class I neoantigens. In vitro, human primary T cells engineered with STAR kill multiple cancer cell lines with low neoantigen density better than CAR-T and TRuC-T cells. In tumor mouse models, STAR-T cells outperform CAR-T and TRuC-T cells in controlling neoantigen-low breast cancer and leukemia. Taken together, our findings highlight severe defects in CAR sensitivity and introduce STAR as a more sensitive synthetic receptor, providing a new framework for T cell-based immunotherapy targeting tumors with low neoantigen density.

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. Remarkably, the 52 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.
