Impacts of genetic and non-genetic intra-tumor heterogeneity (ITH) on tumor phenotypes evolvability remain debated. We analyze ITH in lung squamous cell carcinoma at the levels genome, transcriptome, tumor-immune interactions histopathological characteristics by multi-region bulk single-cell sequencing. Genomic alone is a weak indicator immune transcriptomic that impact multiple cancer-related pathways, including those related to proliferation inflammation, which turn contribute regional...

Neoantigens play important roles in cancer immunotherapy. Current methods used for neoantigen prediction focus on the binding between human leukocyte antigens (HLAs) and peptides, which is insufficient high-confidence prediction. In this study, we apply deep learning techniques to predict neoantigens considering both possibility of HLA-peptide (binding model) potential immunogenicity (immunogenicity peptide-HLA complex (pHLA). The model achieves comparable performance with other...

Abstract Tumor-specific neoantigens have attracted much attention since they can be used as biomarkers to predict therapeutic effects of immune checkpoint blockade therapy and potential targets for cancer immunotherapy. In this study, we developed a comprehensive tumor-specific neoantigen database (TSNAdb v1.0), based on pan-cancer immunogenomic analyses somatic mutation data human leukocyte antigen (HLA) allele information 16 tumor types with 7748 samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA)...

Abstract Bystander‐killing payloads can significantly overcome the tumor heterogeneity issue and enhance clinical potential of antibody‐drug conjugates (ADC), but rational design identification effective bystander warheads constrain broader implementation this strategy. Here, graph attention networks (GAT) are constructed for a killing scoring model ADC construction workflow first time. To generate efficient bystander‐killing payloads, is utilized score‐directed exatecan derivatives design....

Accumulation of plasma advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP) has been found in patients with chronic kidney disease. However, the biologic consequences AOPP consumption on progression renal disease still are unclear. For testing hypothesis that accelerate disease, Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to five-sixths nephrectomy (5/6 Nx) or sham operation. Rats each group randomly assigned three subgroups (n = 30 group) and treated repeated intravenous injections AOPP-modified rat serum...

The involvement of inflammatory processes has been recognized in development and/or progression diabetic nephropathy. However, the mechanisms involved pathogenesis renal inflammation have not completely understood. In this study, we tested hypothesis that accumulation advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs), which occurs diabetes, may promote responses kidney. Streptozotocin-induced rats were randomized to iv injection vehicle, native rat serum albumin (RSA), and AOPPs-modified RSA...

Abstract Alpha-fetoprotein producing gastric carcinoma (AFPGC) is a rare and aggressive subtype of cancer. However, little known about the genomic features this disease. We perform whole-exome sequencing analysis AFPGC, identify 34 significantly mutated genes. Somatic copy number alterations reveals several significant focal amplifications (e.g. 19q12, 17q12) deletions 1p36.11, 9p21.3), some these negatively affect patient prognosis. Comparative analyses reveal that AFPGC has distinct from...
