This study employed an in silico immunoinformatics-based approach to design a multi-epitope subunit vaccine candidate targeting key structural proteins of HMPV, including Matrix2-2, Matrix2-1, Matrix, and Phosphoprotein. B-cell and T-cell epitopes were systematically predicted and screened based on their immunogenicity, antigenicity, non-toxicity, and non-allergenicity. The most promising epitopes were assembled into a single construct using appropriate peptide linkers and immunostimulatory adjuvants to enhance host immune activation. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed to evaluate the structural stability and binding affinity of the vaccine construct with toll-like receptors TLR4, supporting its potential to trigger innate immune pathways. Additional computational analyses, including immune simulation and in silico cloning, were conducted to further assess the vaccine’s immunogenic profile and expression feasibility. These findings suggest that the proposed multi-epitope vaccine candidate may offer a viable strategy for HMPV prevention and warrants further experimental validation and preclinical evaluation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55047,"journal":{"name":"Human Immunology","volume":"86 5","pages":"Article 111557"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144722708","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We then identified pleiotropic loci-variants associated with both PsO and CVDs-and applied colocalization analysis to test whether a single causal variant at each locus could explain the shared association. To interpret these findings, we performed functional annotation to map variants to genes and conducted heritability enrichment analysis to identify critical tissues. Finally, we performed an immune-specific colocalization analysis to investigate the role of distinct immune cell types in driving the shared disease risk.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The findings revealed significant shared genetic risk between PsO and seven major CVDs (e.g., hypertension, myocardial infarction, and coronary artery disease). We identified 58 pleiotropic loci at the level of genome-wide significance (P < 5 × 10<sup>-8</sup>). Of these, 11 loci passed causal colocalization tests, indicating a high probability of a shared causal variant. Gene-level analysis pinpointed 97 candidate genes, and through multi-evidence integration, we prioritized four (SLC22A5, LMAN2, HSD3B7, and ZNF668) as high-confidence therapeutic targets. Enrichment analyses showed these shared genes are highly expressed in blood and immune-related tissues and are involved in key pathways such as immune activation and cytokine signaling. Furthermore, our findings suggest that T-cell-mediated immune dysregulation is a key mechanism underlying the comorbidity of PsO and at least five of the studied CVDs.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Our systematic genetic analysis identifies shared loci and candidate genes for psoriasis and several cardiovascular diseases.
