Evaluating the Immunogenicity Risk of Protein Therapeutics by Augmenting T Cell Epitope Prediction with Clinical Factors.

AAPS J

January 2025

Department of BioAnalytical Sciences, Genentech Inc, South San Francisco, California, USA.

Protein-based therapeutics may elicit undesired immune responses in a subset of patients, leading to the production of anti-drug antibodies (ADA). In some cases, ADAs have been reported to affect the pharmacokinetics, efficacy and/or safety of the drug. Accurate prediction of the ADA response can help drug developers identify the immunogenicity risk of the drug candidates, thereby allowing them to make the necessary modifications to mitigate the immunogenicity.

Background: T cells are involved in every stage of tumor development and significantly influence the tumor microenvironment (TME). Our objective was to assess T-cell marker gene expression profiles, develop a predictive risk model for human papilloma virus (HPV)-negative oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) utilizing these genes, and examine the correlation between the risk score and the immunotherapy response.

Methods: We acquired scRNA-seq data for HPV-negative OSCC from the GEO datasets.

Early T-cell Precursor Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ETP-ALL) is an immature subtype of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) commonly show deregulation of the LMO2-LYL1 stem cell transcription factors, activating mutations of cytokine receptor signaling, and poor early response to intensive chemotherapy. Previously, studies of the Lmo2 transgenic mouse model of ETP-ALL identified a population of stem-like T-cell progenitors with long-term self-renewal capacity and intrinsic chemotherapy resistance linked to cellular quiescence. Here, analyses of Lmo2 transgenic mice, patient-derived xenografts, and single-cell RNA-sequencing data from primary ETP-ALL identified a rare subpopulation of leukemic stem cells expressing high levels of the cytokine receptor FLT3.

The association of gut microbiota, immunocyte dynamics, and protein-protein ratios with tuberculosis susceptibility: a Mendelian randomization analysis.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Yunnan Provincial Key Laboratory of Children's Major Diseases Research, School of Basic Medicine, Kunming Medical University, Kunming, 650500, China.

This study focused on the relationships among gut microbiota, plasma protein ratios, and tuberculosis. Given the unclear causal relationship between gut microbiota and tuberculosis and the scarcity of research on relevant plasma protein ratios in tuberculosis, Mendelian randomization analysis (MR) was employed for in-depth exploration. By analyzing the GWAS data of individuals with European ancestry (the FinnGen dataset included 409,568 controls and 2613 cases), using the two-sample MR method, we focused on evaluating the impact of immunocyte-mediated gut microbiota on tuberculosis and the associations between 2821 plasma protein-to-protein ratios and tuberculosis.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common form of oral cancer, with increasing global incidence and have poor prognosis. Tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) are recognized as a key prognostic indicator and play a vital role in OSCC grading. However, current methods for TILs quantification are based on subjective visual assessments, leading to inter-observer variability and inconsistent diagnostic reproducibility.
