Abstrakt: Researchers from Durham, North Carolina have conducted a study on the potential of tumor-associated circular RNAs (circRNAs) as a source of neoepitopes in microsatellite-stable colorectal cancer (CRC). Using various databases and assays, they identified neoepitopes from circRAPGEF5 and circMYH9 that elicited an antigen-specific T cell response and expansion. T cells trained with circMYH9 peptides were able to specifically target and eliminate tumor-derived organoids. The researchers concluded that tumor-associated circRNAs could serve as an alternative source of neoantigens for cancer vaccines targeting tumors with moderate mutation levels.
