中文摘要
CD8⁺ T 细胞可识别由 HLA I 类分子呈递的肿瘤抗原并清除肿瘤细胞。尽管肾细胞癌(RCC)的肿瘤突变负荷较低,免疫检查点阻断(ICB)仍常使患者获益。本研究采用蛋白质基因组学方法,直接、全面地分析 RCC 组织中由 HLA I 类分子呈递的肽组,并发现免疫肽组中含有一小部分来源于人内源性逆转录病毒(hERV)的肽。通过比较肿瘤组织与正常肾组织,研究发现肿瘤相关 hERV 抗原,其中一种具有免疫原性,并可被宿主TIL(肿瘤浸润淋巴细胞)识别。使用 hERV 抗原刺激健康供者来源的外周血单个核细胞(PBMC),诱导产生了反应性 CD8⁺ T 细胞。这些结果表明,存在针对 hERV3895 抗原的抗肿瘤 CD8⁺ T 细胞免疫监视,并提示其在 RCC 患者中的潜在临床应用价值。

CD8+ T cells can recognize tumor antigens displayed by HLA class I molecules and eliminate tumor cells. Despite their low tumor mutation burden, immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) is often beneficial in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Here, using a proteogenomic approach, we directly and comprehensively explored the HLA class I-presenting peptidome of RCC tissues and demonstrated that the immunopeptidomes contain a small subset of peptides derived from human endogenous retroviruses (hERV). A comparison between tumor and normal kidney tissues revealed tumor-associated hERV antigens, one of which was immunogenic and recognized by host tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL). Stimulation with the hERV antigen induced reactive CD8+ T cells in healthy donor-derived (HD-derived) peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). These results highlight the presence of antitumor CD8+ T cell surveillance against hERV3895 antigens, suggesting their clinical applications in patients with RCC.
