  • Slide 11 Example 1: Cancer-specific splicing Parent protein not overexpressed (mRNA) in cancer vs. normal tissues gastric cancerhealthy tissue Tumor-specific alternative splicing described in literature results into inclusion of a particular exon from which this peptide is derived
  • Slide 12
  • Example 1: Cancer-specific splicing antigen COL6A3 encodes the alpha-3 chain of type VI collagen, a component of the extracellular matrix Cancer-specific splicing of COL6A3 has been described for colon, bladder, prostate, and pancreatic cancer COL6A3 levels are increased in response to cisplatin in tumors. Endotrophin, a cleavage product of COL6A3, causes cisplatin resistance through induction of epithelial-mesenchymal transition Peptide COL6A3-002 (HLA-A*02-restricted) derived from cancer-specific exon 6 identified by XPRESIDENT on 60 cancer samples from several entities (including pancreatic, NSCLC, colorectal, gastric cancer), but not on any normal tissue (N>120 covering different organ classes) Figure below: COL6A3 presentation on three PC tumor tissues compared to various healthy tissues (left panel) and grouped analyses of healthy tissues and different tumor types (right panel). Insert in left panel showing exemplary data of in vitro-primed COL6A3-002 specific T cells from HLA-A*02-positive and -negative healthy donors, the first step required to generate TCRs to this target and Boxplot of RPKM values for tumor (T) and autologous normal (N) tissues (N=29, TCGH research network) showing tumor-specific expression of the exon 6 (middle).
