Immunotherapy, which leverages T-cell-mediated recognition of tumor-specific antigens, has emerged as a promising alternative therapeutic strategy. While proteogenomics and ribosome profiling data across cancer types have provided growing evidence of active translation in non-canonical open reading frames (ncORFs), antigens derived from HCC-associated ncORFs remain largely unexplored. By integrating long-read and short-read RNA sequencing data with mass spectrometry, we have successfully identified twelve non-canonical peptides arising from cryptic translation of ncORFs. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent spot (ELISpot) assays confirmed cytokine release triggered by non-canonical peptides originating from distinct genomic loci. Subsequent RNA level analysis revealed four peptides with strong evidence of enriched expression in tumorigenesis. In-depth bioinformatics predictions indicate that these four peptides possess significant binding affinity for Major Histocompatibility Complex and T-Cell Receptor, with p2 emerging as the most promising candidate. Analysis using public datasets and experimental validation further highlighted the role of ribosome subunit recruitment and N6-Methyladenosine (m6A) modifications in enhancing translation initiation for tumor-enriched antigens. By addressing the existing shortage of knowledge in the HCC ncORF translation, this study identifies promising antigenic candidates for HCC immunotherapy, offering new avenues for effective treatment strategies and improved patient outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":94020,"journal":{"name":"Genomics, proteomics & bioinformatics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2026-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148763759","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}

We investigate how genetic underpinnings and drug effects shape these complex relationships. A robust positive correlation between T2D and CAD is found throughout the genome, whereas the weak genetic correlation between T2D and AAA is counter-balanced by two-thirds positive and one-third negative correlations. Through single nucleotide variant colocalization, gene annotation, pathway enrichment, and cell type associations, we discover that these positive correlations entail immune responses, whereas the negative correlation is characterized by beta-cell dysfunction and lipid metabolism. Furthermore, the effects of 98 canonical cardiovascular and metabolic drugs are elucidated by pathway pairing and drug-target Mendelian Randomization, revealing that the widely prescribed metformin and glitazones are also protective against atherosclerosis, whereas statins raise the T2D risk. Through screening the plasma proteome against 660 anti-inflammatory drugs, we identify 14 targets and 8 drugs for anti-inflammatory treatments of T2D and atherosclerosis. Our study discovers that both disease-disease and drug-disease interplay contribute to the complex relationships between diabetes and atherosclerosis.

Hundreds of BsAbs are currently in clinical trials, among which immune cell engagers (ICEs) demonstrate substantial therapeutic potential by bridging tumor cells and effector cells to enhance cytotoxic activity. However, the clinical translation of BsAbs is hampered by heterogeneous therapeutic responses, immune-related adverse events (irAEs), drug resistance, and inherent immunogenicity. In this review, we systematically dissect the applications of BsAbs in tumor immunotherapy, focusing on rational target combinations, underlying immunological mechanisms, and clinical therapeutic potential, while critically evaluating the advantages and limitations of representative BsAb modalities. We aim to address a key unresolved question: why some BsAb regimens achieve durable clinical efficacy (e.g., blinatumomab in hematological malignancies), whereas others show limited activity in solid tumors (e.g., vanucizumab). Through comparative mechanistic analysis, we clarify the critical trade-offs among therapeutic efficacy, systemic toxicity, and immunosuppressive barriers within the tumor microenvironment. To mitigate these translational bottlenecks, we summarize cutting-edge engineering approaches-including trispecific antibodies, prodrug-conjugated BsAbs, and proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) - that optimize the balance between anti-tumor potency and off-target toxicity.

To address this gap, we integrated Swedish national registers (n = 4,123,631), UK Biobank (n = 502,291), and genome-wide association study summary statistics to explore shared genetic liability between SRDs and six CVD subtypes and to nominate pleiotropic loci, genes, and enriched pathways. Familial coaggregation analyses showed that the SRDs-CVD association attenuated with decreasing genetic relatedness among relatives, supporting the existence of shared genetic influences. Polygenic risk scores for SRDs significantly predicted a higher risk of any CVD and all subtypes (odds ratios = 1.05-1.09), and all SRDs-CVD pairs showed positive genetic correlations (rg = 0.09-0.35), whereas Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses did not support strong causal effects in either direction. Genome-wide cross-trait analyses identified 17 putative pleiotropic loci, and consensus-based gene mapping prioritized 16 putative pleiotropic genes. Enrichment analyses indicated that pleiotropic signals were enriched in processes related to hemostasis and coagulation, circulatory system development, and telomere maintenance. In validation analyses focusing on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), we observed a similar pattern of genetic overlap with CVD and replicated a subset of loci, genes, and pathways. These findings support a genetic comorbidity framework in which shared genetic liability, largely driven by pleiotropic loci, contributes to the co-occurrence of SRDs and CVD and highlight candidate genes and biological processes for future experimental studies.</p>","PeriodicalId":94020,"journal":{"name":"Genomics, proteomics & bioinformatics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2026-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148650148","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}
