HERV-derived epitopes represent new targets for T-cell-based immunotherapies in ovarian cancer by Qing Wang, Maha Ayyoub, Olivia Le Saux, Paola Bonaventura, Isabelle Treilleux, Nicolas Chopin, Clarisse Dubois, Virginie Mutez, Nicolas Chuvin, Yann Estornes, Jenny Valladeau-Guilemond, Stephane Depil, Nicolas Gadot, Marie Michelas, Audrey Page, Olivier Tabone, Marie Delles, Sarah Moran, Thibault Richard, Marjorie Lacourrège, Dina M Tawfik, Ema Etchegaray, Adrian Valente, Rasha E Boulos, Gabriel Jimenez Dominguez

“…Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) are aberrantly expressed by tumor cells and may represent a source of shared T-cell epitopes for cancer immunotherapy regardless of the tumor mutational burden.Methods A transcriptomic analysis based on RNA sequencing was developed to quantify the expression of HERV-K sequences containing the selected epitopes. The presence of HERV-K/HML-2 Gag antigen was then assessed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) on tumor microarrays from ovarian cancer samples and normal ovarian tissues. …”

Revealing new mouse epicardial cell markers through transcriptomics. by Lars Bochmann, Padmini Sarathchandra, Federica Mori, Enrique Lara-Pezzi, Domenico Lazzaro, Nadia Rosenthal

“…<h4>Methodology</h4>Using laser capture microscopy, we isolated the epicardial layer from the adult murine heart before or after cardiac infarction in wildtype mice and mice expressing a transgenic IGF-1 propeptide (mIGF-1) that enhances cardiac repair, and analyzed the transcription profile using DNA microarrays.<h4>Principal findings</h4>Expression of epithelial genes such as basonuclin, dermokine, and glycoprotein M6A are highly enriched in the epicardial layer, which maintains expression of selected embryonic genes involved in epicardial development in mIGF-1 transgenic hearts. …”
