Abstract 5405: Integrative surfaceome profiling identifies MMP14, MRC2 and CD276 as candidate immunotherapeutic target in osteosarcomas

Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary malignant bone tumor in pediatric patients. However, the survival rate of patients with osteosarcomas has not improved for the last several decades. Current developments in immunotherapeutic strategies may increase the efficacy of these treatments for solid tumors. However, these treatments, such as antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) or CAR-T cell therapy have not been sufficiently studied in OS because of a lack of known tumor-specific target. In this study, we developed an integrative pipeline combining the transcriptomic data from OS patients and the cell-surface proteomics data generated from a panel of patient-derived OS cell lines and PDX models and relating these to normal tissue expression. RNA sequencing data from 40 high-risk OS patients treated at MD Anderson Cancer Center was pooled with 111 OS patients available through the public TARGET online database. All the tumor data was subsequently compared with normal tissue RNA-sequencing data from the NIH Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) database. The significantly differentially expressed genes (log fold change tumor versus normal >1.5 for each tissue, p Citation Format: Yifei Wang, Zhongting Zhang, Wendong Zhang, Zhaohui Xu, Xin Zhou, Michael Roth, Jonathan Gill, Douglas Harrison, Pooja Hingorani, Sankar Kannan, Sylvester Jusu, Xiangjun Tian, Jing Wang, Rossana Lazcano, Alexander Lazar, Richard Gorlick.
