The pathogenesis of PA is unclear. However, studies show that the receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE), a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily and pattern recognition receptor, likely plays a role in oncogenesis and cell proliferation. RAGE has multiple functions including amplification and perpetuation of the inflammatory response, protein transport and degradation, maintaining cell polarity, and promoting cell differentiation and division. RAGE may contribute to oncogenesis of PA through dysregulation of ubiquitin and tumor suppressor genes such as p53.","PeriodicalId":8372,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Pancreatic Cancer","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136169859","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the past, tumor-specific T cell epitopes were identified by mapping the epitopes on the known cancer-testis antigens and tumor-associated antigens or antigens that react to the T cells induced by the cancer vaccine therapy. More recently, in silico prediction of mutation-associated neoepitopes from the whole-exome sequencing (WES) results has become another approach. However, although this approach often identifies many predicted peptides, only few have been shown to be immunogenic. Mass spectrometry (MS) has also been used to directly identify the T cell epitopes presented on tumor cell by eluting the peptides from human leukocyte antigens (HLA) class I and class II molecules. This approach of identifying neoepitopes was demonstrated to be feasible in high tumor mutation burden (TMB) tumors such as melanoma. However, identifying low-TMB-tumor-specific T cell epitopes has been challenging. Recently, Fujiwara <i>et al.</i> reported their successful result in identifying T cell epitopes in a low TMB tumor, namely pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Using the MS approach, they identified T cell epitopes shared by multiple pancreatic cancer patients with different HLA types. Moreover, they demonstrated that the identified epitopes bound non-matched HLA molecules and induced T cell response in peripheral T cells from non-HLA-type matched patients. Their study has opened a new venue for identifying T cell epitopes in a non-immunogenic tumor such as PDAC for the design and development of vaccine and T cell therapy.</p>","PeriodicalId":8372,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Pancreatic Cancer","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10722904/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76663165","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
