Accurate prioritization of immunogenic neoantigens is key to developing personalized cancer vaccines and distinguishing those patients likely to respond to immune checkpoint inhibition. However, there is no consensus regarding which characteristics best predict neoantigen immunogenicity, and no model to date has both high sensitivity and specificity and a significant association with survival in response to immunotherapy. We address these challenges in the prioritization of immunogenic neoantigens by (1) identifying which neoantigen characteristics best predict immunogenicity; (2) integrating these characteristics into an immunogenicity score, the NeoScore; and (3) demonstrating a significant association of the NeoScore with survival in response to immune checkpoint inhibition. One thousand random and evenly split combinations of immunogenic and nonimmunogenic neoantigens from a validated dataset were analyzed using a regularized regression model for characteristic selection. The selected characteristics, the dissociation constant and binding stability of the neoantigen:MHC class I complex and expression of the mutated gene in the tumor, were integrated into the NeoScore. A web application is provided for calculation of the NeoScore. The NeoScore results in improved, or equivalent, performance in four test datasets as measured by sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver operator characteristics curve compared with previous models. Among cutaneous melanoma patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibition, a high maximum NeoScore was associated with improved survival. Overall, the NeoScore has the potential to improve neoantigen prioritization for the development of personalized vaccines and contribute to the determination of which patients are likely to respond to immunotherapy.
准确地确定免疫原性新抗原的优先级是开发个性化癌症疫苗和区分那些可能对免疫检查点抑制有反应的患者的关键。然而,目前对于哪些特征最能预测新抗原的免疫原性还没有共识,并且迄今为止还没有一种模型具有高灵敏度和特异性,并且与免疫治疗的反应生存有显著关联。我们通过以下方法解决了免疫原性新抗原优先级排序中的这些挑战:(1) 确定哪些新抗原特征最能预测免疫原性;(2) 将这些特征整合到免疫原性评分中,即 NeoScore;(3) 证明 NeoScore 与免疫检查点抑制反应的生存有显著关联。使用正则化回归模型对来自验证数据集的 1000 个随机且均匀分割的免疫原性和非免疫原性新抗原组合进行了分析,用于特征选择。所选特征为新抗原:MHC 类 I 复合物的解离常数和结合稳定性以及肿瘤中突变基因的表达,被整合到 NeoScore 中。提供了一个网络应用程序,用于计算 NeoScore。与以前的模型相比,NeoScore 在四个测试数据集中的灵敏度、特异性和接收者操作特征曲线下面积方面的性能得到了提高,或者相当。在接受免疫检查点抑制治疗的皮肤黑色素瘤患者中,最高的 NeoScore 与改善的生存相关。总体而言,NeoScore 有可能改善个性化疫苗开发中新抗原的优先级排序,并有助于确定哪些患者可能对免疫治疗有反应。
