Description

[0001] The present invention relates to peptides, nucleic acids and cells for use in immunotherapeutic methods. In particular, the present invention relates to the immunotherapy of cancer. The present invention furthermore relates to 5 tumor-associated cytotoxic T cell (CTL) peptide epitopes, alone or in combination with other tumor-associated peptides that serve as active pharmaceutical ingredients of vaccine compositions that stimulate anti-tumor immune responses. The present invention relates to specific peptide sequences and their variants derived from HLA class I and class II molecules of human tumor cells that can be used in vaccine compositions for eliciting anti-tumor immune responses as well as a method for providing optimal vaccines to persons in need. 10 Background of the invention

[0002] Gliomas are brain tumors originating from glial cells in the nervous system. Glial cells, commonly called neuroglia or simplyglia, are non-neuronal cells that provide support and nutrition, maintain homeostasis,form myelin,and participate 15 in signal transmission in the nervous system. The two most important subgroups of gliomas are astrocytomas and oligodendrogliomas, named according to the normal glial cell type from which they originate (astrocytes or oligodendrocytes, respectively). Belonging to the subgroup of astrocytomas, glioblastoma multiforme (referred to as glioblastoma hereinafter) is the most common malignant brain tumor in adults and accounts for approx. 40% of all malignant brain tumors and approx. 50% of gliomas. It aggressively invades the central nervous system and is ranked at the highest 20 malignancy level (grade IV) among all gliomas. Although there has been steady progress in their treatment due to improvements in neuroimaging, microsurgery, diverse treatment options, such as temozolomide or radiation, glioblastomas remain incurable. The lethal rate of this brain tumor is very high: the average life expectancy is 9 to 12 months after first diagnosis. The 5-year survival rate during the observation period from 1986 to 1990 was 8.0%. To date, the five-year survival rate following aggressive therapy including gross tumor resection is still less than 10%. Accordingly, 25 there is a strong medical need for an alternative and effective therapeutic method. [0003] Tumor cells of glioblastomas are the most undifferentiated ones among brain tumors, so the tumor cells have high potential of migration and proliferation and are highly invasive, leading to very poor prognosis. Glioblastomas lead to death due to rapid, aggressive, and infiltrative growth in the brain. The infiltrative growth pattern is responsible for the unresectable nature of these tumors. Glioblastomas are also relatively resistant to radiation and chemotherapy, and, 30 therefore, post-treatment recurrence rates are high. In addition, the immune response to the neoplastic cells is rather ineffective in completely eradicating all neoplastic cells following resection and radiation therapy. [0004] Glioblastoma is classified into primary glioblastoma de ( novo) and secondary glioblastoma, depending on differences in the gene mechanism during malignant transformation of undifferentiated astrocytes or glial precursor cells. Secondary glioblastoma occurs in a younger population of up to 45 years of age. During 4 to 5 years, on average, 35 secondary glioblastoma develops from lower-grade astrocytoma through undifferentiated astrocytoma. In contrast, primary glioblastoma predominantly occurs in an older population with a mean age of 55 years. Generally, primary glioblastoma occurs as fulminant glioblastoma characterized by tumor progression within 3 months from the state with no clinical or pathological abnormalities (Pathology and Genetics of the Nervous Systems. 29-39 (IARC Press, Lyon, France, 2000)). 40 [0005] Glioblastoma migrates along myelinated nerves and spreads widely in the central nervous system. In most cases surgical treatment shows only limited sustainable therapeutic effect. Malignant glioma cells evade detection by the host’s immune system by producing immunosuppressive agents that impair T cell proliferation and production of the immune-stimulating cytokine IL-2. [0006] Intracranial neoplasms can arise from any of the structures or cell types present in the CNS, including the brain, 45 meninges, pituitary gland, skull, and even residual embryonic tissue. The overall annual incidence of primary brain tumors in the United States is 14 cases per 100,000. The most common primary brain tumors are meningiomas, representing 27% of all primary brain tumors, and glioblastomas, representing 23% of all primary brain tumors (whereas glioblastomas account for 40% of malignant brain tumor in adults). Many of these tumors are aggressive and of high grade. Primary brain tumors are the most common solid tumors in children and the second most frequent cause of 50 cancer death after leukemia in children. [0007] The search for effective treatment of glioblastomas in patients is still ongoing today. Immunotherapy or treatment via recruitment of the immune system, to fight these neoplastic cells has been investigated. [0008] There is an ongoing clinical trial with IMA950, a multi-peptide vaccine conducted in the UK by immatics biotechnologies (Tübingen, Germany). The peptides in the vaccine are exclusively HLA-A*02 peptides. 55 [0009] There remains a need for new efficacious and safe treatment option for glioblastoma and medulloblastoma and other tumors which show an overexpression of the proteins of the present invention, enhancing the well-being of the patients with other HLA alleles or combinations of alleles without using chemotherapeutic agents or other agents which may lead to severe side effects.

[0053] The peptides of the present invention can be used to generate, produce and develop specific antibodies against the MHC/peptide complexes of the present invention (i.e. comprising at least one sequence selected from SEQ ID No. 1 to SEQ ID No. 49, SEQ ID No. 71, and SEQ ID No. 74 to 129).

[0054] Therefore, it is a further aspect of the invention to provide a method for producing a recombinant antibody specifically binding to a human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I or II being complexed with an HLA- restricted antigen (i.e. comprising at least one sequence selected from SEQ ID No. 1 to SEQ ID No. 49, SEQ ID No. 71, 50 and SEQ ID No. 74 to 129), the method comprising: immunizing a genetically engineered non-human mammal comprising cells expressing said human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I or II with a soluble form of a MHC class I or II molecule being complexed with said HLA-restricted antigen; isolating mRNA molecules from antibody producing cells of said non-human mammal; producing a phage display library displaying protein molecules encoded by said mRNA molecules; and isolating at least one phage from said phage display library, said at least one phage displaying said 55 antibody specifically binding to said human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I or II being complexed with said HLA-restricted antigen.

a polyclonal antibody, monoclonal antibody, bispecific antibody and/or a chimeric antibody. [0056] Yet another aspect of the present invention then relates to a method of producing an antibody that specifically binds to a human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I or II being complexed with an HLA-restricted antigen (i.e. comprising at at least one sequence selected from SEQ ID No. 1 to SEQ ID No. 49, SEQ ID No. 71, and SEQ ID 5 No. 74 to 129), the method comprising: immunizing a genetically engineered non-human mammal comprising cells expressing said human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I or II with a soluble form of a MHC class I or II molecule being complexed with said HLA-restricted antigen; isolating mRNA molecules from antibody producing cells of said non-human mammal; producing a phage display library displaying protein molecules encoded by said mRNA molecules; and isolating at least one phage from said phage display library, said at least one phage displaying said 10 antibody specifically bindable to said human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I or II being complexed with said HLA-restricted antigen. Respective methods for producing such antibodies and single chain class I major histocompatibility complexes, as well as other tools. [0057] It is a further aspect of the invention to provide a method for producing a soluble T-cell receptor recognizing a specific peptide-MHC complex according to the invention. Such soluble T-cell receptors can be generated from specific 15 T-cell clones, and their affinity can be increased by mutagenesis targeting the complementarity-determining regions. [0058] Stimulation of an immune response is dependent upon the presence of antigens recognised as foreign by the host immune system. The discovery of the existence of tumor associated antigens has raised the possibility of using a host’s immune system to intervene in tumor growth. Various mechanisms of harnessing both the humoral and cellular arms of the immune system are currently being explored for cancer immunotherapy. 20 [0059] Specific elements of the cellular immune response are capable of specifically recognising and destroying tumor cells. The isolation of cytotoxic T-cells (CTL) from tumor-infiltrating cell populations or from peripheral blood suggests that such cells play an important role in natural immune defences against cancer. CD8-positive T-cells in particular, which recognise Class I molecules of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-bearing peptides of usually 8 to 10 amino acid residues derived from proteins or defect ribosomal products (DRIPS) located in the cytosol, play an important 25 role in this response. The MHC-molecules of the human are also designated as human leukocyte-antigens (HLA). [0060] There are two classes of MHC-molecules: MHC class I molecules that can be found on most cells having a nucleus. MHC molecules are composed of an alpha heavy chain and beta-2-microglobulin (MHC class I receptors) or an alpha and a beta chain (MHC class II receptors), respectively. Their three-dimensional conformation results in a binding groove, which is used for non-covalent interaction with peptides. MHC class I present peptides that result from 30 proteolytic cleavage of predominantly endogenous proteins, DRIPs and larger peptides. MHC class II molecules can be found predominantly on professional antigen presenting cells (APCs), and primarily present peptides of exogenous or transmembrane proteins that are taken up by APCs during the course of endocytosis, and are subsequently processed. Complexes of peptide and MHC class I molecules are recognized by CD8-positive cytotoxic T-lymphocytes bearing the appropriate TCR (T-cell receptor), whereas complexes of peptide and MHC class II molecules are recognized by CD4- 35 positive-helper-T cells bearing the appropriate TCR. It is well known that the TCR, the peptide and the MHC are thereby present in a stoichiometric amount of 1:1:1. [0061] CD4-positive helper T cells play an important role in inducing and sustaining effective responses by CD8- positive cytotoxic T cells (Wang and Livingstone, 2003; Sun and Bevan, 2003; Shedlock and Shen, 2003). The identification of CD4-positive T-cell epitopes derived from tumor associated antigens (TAA) is of great importance for the 40 development of pharmaceutical products for triggering anti-tumor immune responses (Kobayashi et al., 2002; Qin et al., 2003; Gnjatic et al., 2003). At the tumor site, T helper cells, support a CTL friendly cytokine milieu (Qin and Blankenstein, 2000; Mortara et al., 2006) and attract effector cells, e.g. CTLs, NK cells, macrophages, (Marzo et al., 2000; Hwang et al., 2007). [0062] In the absence of inflammation, expression of MHC class II molecules is mainly restricted to cells of the immune 45 system, especially professional antigen-presenting cells (APC), e.g., monocytes, monocyte-derived cells, macrophages, dendritic cells. In cancer patients, cells of the tumor have surprisingly been found to express MHC class II molecules (Dengjel et al., 2006). [0063] It was shown in mammalian animal models, e.g., mice, that even in the absence of CTL effector cells (i.e., CD8-positive T lymphocytes), CD4-positive T cells are sufficient for inhibiting manifestation of tumors via inhibition of 50 angiogenesis by secretion of interferon-gamma (IFNγ). [0064] Additionally, it was shown that CD4-positive T cells recognizing peptides from tumor-associated antigens presented by HLA class II molecules can counteract tumor progression via the induction of antibody (Ab) responses (Kennedy et al., 2003). [0065] In contrast to tumor-associated peptides binding to HLA class I molecules, only a small number of class II 55 ligands of tumor associated antigens (TAA) have been described to date. [0066] Since the constitutive expression of HLA class II molecules is usually limited to cells of the immune system, the possibility of isolating class II peptides directly from primary tumors was not considered possible. However, Dengjel et al. were recently successful in identifying a number of MHC Class II epitopes directly from tumors (WO 2007/028574,

12 EP 3 539 979 A2

EP 1 760 088 B1; (Dengjel et al., 2006). [0067] The antigens that are recognized by the tumor specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes, that is, their epitopes, can be molecules derived from all protein classes, such as enzymes, receptors, transcription factors, etc. which are expressed and, as compared to unaltered cells of the same origin, up-regulated in cells of the respective tumor. 5 [0068] Since both types of response, CD8 and CD4 dependent, contribute jointly and synergistically to the anti-tumor effect, the identification and characterization of tumor-associated antigens recognized by either CD8+ CTLs (ligand: MHC class I molecule + peptide epitope) or by CD4-positive T-helper cells (ligand: MHC class II molecule + peptide epitope) is important in the development of tumor vaccines. [0069] The present invention also relates to a very useful MHC class II peptide (see SEQ ID NO 71). This peptide is 10 useful against glioblastoma and other cancers over-expressing and / or over - presenting BCAN. [0070] For a peptide to trigger (elicit) a cellular immune response, it must bind to an MHC-molecule. This process is dependent on the allele of the MHC-molecule and specific polymorphisms of the amino acid sequence of the peptide. MHC-class-I-binding peptides are usually 8-12 amino acid residues in length and usually contain two conserved residues ("anchors") in their sequence that interact with the corresponding binding groove of the MHC-molecule. In this way each 15 MHC allele has a "binding motif’ determining which peptides can bind specifically to the binding groove. [0071] In the MHC class I dependent immune reaction, peptides not only have to be able to bind to certain MHC class I molecules being expressed by tumor cells, they also have to be recognized by T cells bearing specific T cell receptors (TCR). [0072] The antigens that are recognized by the tumor specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes, that is, their epitopes, can be 20 molecules derived from all protein classes, such as enzymes, receptors, transcription factors, etc. which are expressed and, as compared to unaltered cells of the same origin, up-regulated in cells of the respective tumor. [0073] The current classification of tumor associated antigens comprises the following major groups:

a) Cancer-testis antigens: The first TAAs ever identified that can be recognized by T cells belong to this class, which 25 was originally called cancer-testis (CT) antigens because of the expression of its members in histologically different human tumors and, among normal tissues, only in spermatocytes/spermatogonia of testis and, occasionally, in placenta. Since the cells of testis do not express class I and II HLA molecules, these antigens cannot be recognized by Tcells in normaltissues and can therefore be considered asimmunologically tumor-specific. Well-known examples for CT antigens are the MAGE family members or NY-ESO-1. 30 b) Differentiation antigens: These TAAs are shared between tumors and the normal tissue from which the tumor arose; most are found in melanomas and normal melanocytes. Many of these melanocyte lineage-related proteins are involved in the biosynthesis of melanin and are therefore not tumor specific but nevertheless are widely used for cancer immunotherapy. Examples include, but are not limited to, tyrosinase and Melan-A/MART-1 for melanoma or PSA for prostate cancer. 35 c) Overexpressed TAAs: Genes encoding widely expressed TAAs have been detected in histologically different types of tumors as well as in many normal tissues, generally with lower expression levels. It is possible that many of the epitopes processed and potentially presented by normal tissues are below the threshold level for T-cell recognition, while their overexpression in tumor cells can trigger an anticancer response by breaking previously established tolerance. Prominent examples for this class of TAAs are Her-2/neu, Survivin, Telomerase or WT1. 40 d) Tumor specific antigens: These unique TAAs arise from mutations of normal genes (such as β-catenin, CDK4, etc.). Some of these molecular changes are associated with neoplastic transformation and/or progression. Tumor specific antigens are generally able to induce strong immune responses without bearing the risk for autoimmune reactions against normal tissues. On the other hand, these TAAs are in most cases only relevant to the exact tumor on which they were identified and are usually not shared between many individual tumors. 45 e) TAAs arising from abnormal post-translational modifications: Such TAAs may arise from proteins which are neither specific nor overexpressed in tumors but nevertheless become tumor associated by posttranslational processes primarily active in tumors. Examples for this class arise from altered glycosylation patterns leading to novel epitopes in tumors as for MUC1 or events like protein splicing during degradation which may or may not be tumor specific. f) Oncoviral proteins: These TAAs are viral proteins that may play a critical role in the oncogenic process and, 50 because they are foreign (not of human origin), they can evoke a T-cell response. Examples of such proteins are the human papilloma type 16 virus proteins, E6 and E7, which are expressed in cervical carcinoma.

[0074] For proteins to be recognized by cytotoxic T-lymphocytes as tumor-specific or -associated antigens, and to be used in a therapy, particular prerequisites must be fulfilled. The antigen should be expressed mainly by tumor cells and 55 not or in comparably small amounts by normal healthy tissues or in another embodiment the peptide should be over- presented by tumor cells as compared to normal healthy tissues. It is furthermore desirable, that the respective antigen is not only present in a type of tumor, but also in high concentrations (i.e. copy numbers of the respective peptide per cell). Tumor-specific and tumor-associated antigens are often derived from proteins directly involved in transformation

13 EP 3 539 979 A2

of a normal cell to a tumor cell due to a function e.g. in cell cycle control or suppression of apoptosis. Additionally, downstream targets of the proteins directly causative for a transformation may be upregulated und thus may be indirectly tumor-associated. Such indirect tumor-associated antigens may also be targets of a vaccination approach. In both cases it is essential that epitopes are present in the amino acid sequence of the antigen, since such a peptide ("immunogenic 5 peptide") that is derived from a tumor associated antigen should lead to an in vitro or in vivo T-cell-response. [0075] Basically, any peptide able to bind a MHC molecule may function as a T-cell epitope. A prerequisite for the induction of an in vitro or in vivo T-cell-response is the presence of a T cell with a corresponding TCR and the absence of immunological tolerance for this particular epitope. [0076] Therefore, TAAs are a starting point for the development of a tumor vaccine. The methods for identifying and 10 characterizing the TAAs are based on the use of CTL that can be isolated from patients or healthy subjects, or they are based on the generation of differential transcription profiles or differential peptide expression patterns between tumors and normal tissues. [0077] However, the identification of genes over-expressed in tumor tissues or human tumor cell lines, or selectively expressed in such tissues or cell lines, does not provide precise information as to the use of the antigens being transcribed 15 from these genes in an immune therapy. This is because only an individual subpopulation of epitopes of these antigens are suitable for such an application since a T cell with a corresponding TCR has to be present and immunological tolerance for this particular epitope needs to be absent or minimal. In a very preferred embodiment of the invention it is therefore important to select only those over- or selectively presented peptides against which a functional and / or a proliferating T cell can be found. Such a functional T cell is defined as a T cell, which upon stimulation with a specific 20 antigen can be clonally expanded and is able to execute effector functions ("effector T cell"). [0078] In case of TCRs and antibodies according to the invention the immunogenicity of the underlying peptides is secondary. For TCRs and antibodies according to the invention the presentation is the determining factor. [0079] T-helper cells play an important role in orchestrating the effector function of CTLs in anti-tumor immunity. T-

helper cell epitopes that trigger a T-helper cell response of the T H1 type support effector functions of CD8-positive killer 25 T cells, which include cytotoxic functions directed against tumor cells displaying tumor-associated peptide/MHC complexes on their cell surfaces. In this way tumor-associated T-helper cell peptide epitopes, alone or in combination with other tumor-associated peptides, can serve as active pharmaceutical ingredients of vaccine compositions that stimulate anti-tumor immune responses. [0080] Uses against additional cancers are disclosed in the following description of the underlying polypeptides of the 30 peptides according to the invention.

Cysteine and glycine-rich protein 2 (CSRP2)

[0081] CSRP2 is a member of the CSRP family of genes, encoding a group of LIM domain proteins, which may be 35 involved in regulatory processes important for development and cellular differentiation. CSRP2 was mapped to chromosome subband 12q21.1, a region frequently affected by deletion or breakage events in various tumor types (Weiskirch- en et al., 1997). Expression of CSRP2 is significantly elevated in moderately differentiated tumor of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). CSRP2 is likely to be associated with dedifferentiation of HCC (Midorikawa et al., 2002).

40 Solute carrier family 10 (sodium/bile acid cotransporter family), member 4 (SLC10A4)

[0082] The gene SLC10A4 encodes a recently described carrier protein present in pre-synaptic terminals of cholinergic and monoaminergic neurons (Zelano et al., 2013). SLC10A4 mRNA is ubiquitously expressed in human tissues with the highest levels of mRNA expression in brain, placenta, and liver. In SLC10A4-transfected CHO cells, immunoblotting 45 analysis and immunofluorescence staining demonstrated a 49-kDa protein that is expressed at the plasma membrane and intracellular compartments (Splinter et al., 2006). SLC10A4 may participate in vesicular storage or exocytosis of neurotransmitters or mastocyte mediators (Claro da et al., 2013).

ELOVL fatty acid elongase 2 (ELOVL2) 50 [0083] ELOVL2 is a member of the mammalian microsomal ELOVL fatty acid enzyme family, which is involved in oxidative stress induction and lipid biosynthesis and is responsible for the elongation of very long-chain fatty acids including polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) required for various cellular functions in mammals (Aslibekyan et al., 2012; Zadravec et al., 2011). Specifically, ELOVL2 is an essential enzyme for the formation of very-long PUFA in testis 55 (Casado et al., 2013). A lack of ELOVL2 has been shown to be associated with a complete arrest of spermatogenesis, with seminiferous tubules displaying only spermatogonia and primary spermatocytes without further germinal cells (Za- dravec et al., 2011). ELOVL2 shows a progressive increase in methylation that begins since the very first stage of life and appears to be a very promising biomarker of aging (Garagnani et al., 2012). Its upregulation has been reported from

14 EP 3 539 979 A2

hepatocellular carcinoma (Zekri et al., 2012).

Metastasis suppressor 1-like (MTSS1L)

5 [0084] Radial glias play key roles in neuronal migration, axon guidance, and neurogenesis during development of the central nervous system. A recent study identified MTSS1L (alias ABBA) as a novel regulator of actin and plasma membrane dynamics in radial glial cells. Interestingly, ABBA localizes to the interface between the plasma membrane and the actin cytoskeleton in radial-glia-like C6-R cells, and its depletion results in defects in plasma membrane dynamics and process extension (Saarikangas et al., 2008). Overexpression of GFP-tagged Abba in murine fibroblasts (NIH3T3 10 cells) potentiated PDGF-mediated formation of membrane ruffles and lamellipodia. Some data indicates that the interaction between full-length Abba and Rac1 is implicated in membrane deformation (Zheng et al., 2010).

Protein tyrosine phosphatase, receptor-type, Z polypeptide 1 (PTPRZ1)

15 [0085] PTPRZ1 (protein tyrosine phosphatase, receptor-type, Z polypeptide 1) is a member of the receptor type protein tyrosine phosphatase family and encodes a single-pass type I membrane protein with two cytoplasmic tyrosine-protein phosphatase domains, an alpha-carbonic anhydrase domain and a fibronectin type-III domain. PTPRZ1 is expressed primarily in the nervous system and is synthesized by glial progenitors, and astrocytes (Canoll et al., 1993; Milev et al., 1994; Engel et al., 1996; Meyer-Puttlitz et al., 1996; Sakurai et al., 1996). PTPRZ1 is over-expressed in GBM and is 20 thought to be involved in GBM cell motility (Muller et al., 2003; Ulbricht et al., 2003; Lu et al., 2005; Wellstein, 2012). Furthermore, PTRPZ1 is frequently amplified at the genomic DNA level in glioblastoma (Mulholland et al., 2006). In astrocytomas, the increased expression level of PTPRZ1 also correlates with a poor clinical prognosis (Ulbricht et al., 2003). Antagonization of PTPRZ1 expression by siRNA transfection inhibits glioma growth in vitro and in vivo (Ulbricht et al., 2006). 25 Kinesin family member 1A (KIF1A)

[0086] KIF1A is a monomeric motor protein of the kinesin 3 family. It is regarded as brain-specific protein, whose basic function concerns the fast anterograde axonal transport of synaptic vesicles in neurons. KIF1A is vital for neuronal 30 function and survival (Hirokawa and Noda, 2008). Aberrant hypermethylation of KIF1A is a frequent event in different types of cancer, such as head and neck squameous cell carcinoma (Demokan et al., 2010; Kaur et al., 2010; Loyo et al., 2011; Pattani et al., 2010; Guerrero-Preston et al., 2011), lung cancer (Loyo et al., 2011), thyroid cancer and breast cancer (Brait et al., 2012; Ostrow et al., 2009). KIF1A was found as one of eight markers for minimal residual disease (MRD) and abundantly expressed in stage IV neuroblastoma tumors and had low to no detection in normal bone mar- 35 row/blood samples. In stage IV patients, expression levels of KIF1A in bone marrow were highly prognostic for progression-free and overall survival (Cheung et al., 2008). Concerning minimal residual disease in neuroblastoma, KIF1A was one of 11 genes, whose over-expression in tumor-initiating cells correlates with MRD (Hartomo et al., 2013).

Protocadherin gamma subfamily C, 5 (PCDHGC5) 40 [0087] Protocadherin γ-C5 (PCDHGC5) is one of the 22 members of the PCDHG family. The protocadherins (PCDH) are a subgroup of cadherins, which are predominantly expressed in the central nervous system (Kallenbach et al., 2003; Hirayama and Yagi, 2006). The gamma gene cluster is organized similar to an immunoglobulin cluster: 22 variable exons, which encode the ectodomain (cadherin repeats, transmembrane and proximal intracellular domain), and 3 45 constant exons, which encode the common distal moiety of the cytoplasmic domain, are joined by RNA splicing (Morishita and Yagi, 2007; Wang et al., 2002). PCDHs are involved in developmental tissue morphogenesis and in synapse formation and modulation (Frank and Kemler, 2002) and the production of cerebrospinal fluid in the postnatal brain (Lobas et al., 2012). It was shown that several PCDHGs, such as PCDHGC5, interact with the intracellular adaptor protein PDCD10 (programmed cell death 10), which mediates apoptosis in neurons (Lin et al., 2010a). 50 Glutamate receptor, ionotropic, kainate 3 (GRIK3)

[0088] Glutamate receptors are the predominant excitatory neurotransmitter receptors in the mammalian brain and are activated in a variety of normal neurophysiologic processes. GRIK3 (GluR7) belongs to the kainate family of glutamate 55 receptors, which are composed of four subunits and function as ligand-activated ion channels (Pinheiro et al., 2007). GluR5-7 subunits are expressed in human glioneuronal tumors (Aronica et al., 2001). In glioblastomas GluR7 was expressed at levels higher than in human brain (Brocke et al., 2010). GluR7 was also found to be differentially expressed in several human tumor cell lines (rhabdomyosarcoma/ medulloblastoma, neuroblastoma, thyroid carcinoma, lung car-

15 EP 3 539 979 A2

cinoma, astrocytoma, multiple myeloma, glioma, lung carcinoma, colon adenocarcinoma, T cell leukemia cells, breast carcinoma and colon adenocarcinoma) (Stepulak et al., 2009).

Seizure related 6 homolog (mouse)-like (SEZ6L) 5 [0089] The SEZ6L cDNA contains a 3,072-bp open reading frame encoding a 1,024-amino acid transmembrane protein with multiple domains involved in protein-protein interaction and signal transduction. SEZ6L was abundantly expressed in the brain, and also expressed in a variety of human tissues, including lung epithelial cells. Therefore, SEZ6L protein is considered to be a transmembrane protein functioning as an intracellular signal transducer via protein-protein inter- 10 actions in a variety of human cells (Nishioka et al., 2000). Genetic variants in the SEZ6L gene are associated with bipolar disorder I in female patients (Xu et al., 2013). A polymorphic variant of SEZ6L might be linked with an increased risk of lung cancer (Raji et al., 2010; Gorlov et al., 2007). Methylation status of SEZ6L might also be a marker of gastric carcinoma (Kang et al., 2008). A study conducted by Suzuki at al. (2002) suggests that SEZ6L gene may also influence development and progression of colorectal cancer. The authors found that SEZ6L was one of the few genes highly 15 hypermethylated in primary colorectal tumors (Suzuki et al., 2002).

Ankyrin repeat domain 40 (ANKRD40)

[0090] ANKRD40 is a member of the ankyrin repeat protein family. ANKRD40 is localized on chromosome 17q21.33. 20 The function of ANKRD40 is unknown. However the ankyrin repeat is a 33-residue motif in proteins consisting of two alpha helices separated by loops, first discovered in signaling proteins in yeast Cdc10 and Drosophila Notch (Breeden and Nasmyth, 1987). Domains consisting of ankyrin repeats mediate protein-protein interactions and are among the most common structural motifs in known proteins (Mosavi et al., 2004). Ankyrin-repeat proteins have been associated with a number of human diseases. These proteins include the cell cycle inhibitor p16, which is associated with cancer, 25 and the Notch protein (a key component of cell signalling pathways) which can cause the neurological disorder CADASIL when the repeat domain is disrupted by mutations. (Mosavi et al., 2004)

Neuroligin 4, Y-linked (NLGN4Y)

30 [0091] Neuroligins, such as NLGN4Y, are cell adhesion molecules present at the postsynaptic side of the synapse and may be essential for the formation of functional synapses (Jamain et al., 2003). Skaletsky et al. (2003) determined that NLGN4Y, the Y-chromosomal homolog of NLGN4, was expressed in fetal and adult brain, prostate, and testis (Skaletsky et al., 2003). Some data suggested that sequence variants in NLGN4Y might be associated with autism or mental retardation (Ylisaukko-oja et al., 2005; Yan et al., 2008). 35 Potassium inwardly-rectifying channel, subfamily J, member 10 (KCNJ10)

[0092] KCNJ10 encodes one of 16 inward rectifier-type potassium (Kir) channel subunits, which are grouped in 7 subfamilies by homology. KCNJ10 is the major pore forming subunit in glial cells and most data suggest homomeric 40 channels. Mutations in KCNJ10 have been associated with seizure susceptibility of common idiopathic generalized epilepsy syndromes (Olsen and Sontheimer, 2008). In normal brain, KCNJ10 was detected by IHC around microvessels, in the glia limitans/pia, and in occasional neurons (Saadoun et al., 2003). In various human brain tumors (low- and high- grade astrocytomas and oligodendrogliomas), KCNJ10 is mislocalized as compared to healthy tissue, which may impair the buffering capacity of glial cells and thereby to water influx, leading to water influx (cytotoxic edema) (Warth et al., 45 2005). KCNJ10 was also upregulated in astrocytes in damaged brain (carcinoma, oligodendroglioma, and glioblastoma cells). It was hypothesized that this is a response to the up-regulation of Aquaporin 4 (Saadoun et al., 2003). KCNJ10 may be used as a new biomarker and as therapeutic target with astrocytoma (Tan et al., 2008).

Brevican (BCAN) 50 [0093] Brevican (BCAN) is a brain-specific member of the lectican family of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans. Two BCAN isoforms have been reported: a full-length isoform that is secreted into the extracellular matrix and a shorter isoform with a sequence that predicts a glycophosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor (Gary et al., 2000). BCAN shows dramatic upregulation in gliomas, where an approximately seven-fold increase in expression over normal levels can be detected 55 (Gary et al., 2000; Gary et al., 1998). BCAN has also been validated as upregulated in the biologically more aggressive grade II oligodendrogliomas (Rostomily et al., 2010). Furthermore, BCAN has been described as selectively over-expressed in a type of GBM cancer stem cells which show the highest pluripotency and tumorigenicity in vivo (Gunther et al., 2008).

16 EP 3 539 979 A2

[0094] Clinically, BCAN upregulation correlates with poor survival of patients with high-grade gliomas (Liang et al., 2005).

Membrane associated guanylate kinase, WW and PDZ domain containing 2 (MAGI2) 5 [0095] MAGI2 has been localized to chromosome 7q21, a region that is deleted in uterine leiomyomas, prostate cancer and glioblastoma (Cui et al., 1998; Cunningham et al., 1996; Ishwad et al., 1995; Kim et al., 1995). MAGI2 is brain- specific (Shoji et al., 2000; Wood et al., 1998; Yamada et al., 2003) and has been shown to interact with NMDA receptors at excitatory synapses (Hirao et al., 1998). MAGI2 is involved in recruitment of neurotransmitter receptors such as AMPA- 10 and NMDA-type glutamate receptors (Koide et al., 2012). MAGI2 interacts with several different ligands in brain, including PTEN (Deng et al., 2006). Binding of the tumor suppressor PTEN to the PDZ-2 domain from MAGI2 increased PTEN protein stability (Valiente et al., 2005). MAGI2 overexpression enhances the sensitivity of cancer cells harboring ectopic PTEN to STS-induced apoptosis (Li et al., 2013b). Significant associations of MAGI2 with the risk for developing Alzhe- imer’s disease have been found (Kohannim et al., 2012). 15 Scavenger receptor class A, member 3 (SCARA3)

[0096] Using predicted exonic sequences from a cosmid mapping to chromosome 8p21, Han et al. (1998) screened a human fetal brain library and isolated a novel macrophage scavenger receptor-like gene, SCARA3, which they called 20 CSR1 (Han et al., 1998). CSR1 is located at 8p21-22, a locus that is frequently deleted in several human malignancies, including prostate cancer, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and lung cancer (Coon et al., 2004; Gallucci et al., 2006; Kurimoto et al., 2001). High SCARA3 levels in primary ovarian carcinomas and its up-regulation along disease progression from diagnosis to recurrence, suggested a role in ovarian cancer biology (Bock et al., 2012). One study suggested that CSR1 (SCARA3) protects cells from mutational damage of oxidative-free radicals by increasing their 25 metabolism (Han et al., 1998). Furthermore, CSR1, a newly characterized tumor-suppressor gene, undergoes hypermethylation in over 30% of prostate cancers and induce cell death through a novel mechanism by hijacking a critical RNA processing enzyme (Zhu et al., 2009).

Glutamate receptor, ionotropic, AMPA 4 (GRIA4) 30 [0097] GRIA4 (also called GLUR4) belongs to a family of AMPA (alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propi- onate)-sensitive glutamate receptors, and is subject to RNA editing (AGA->GGA; R->G). The GluR4 subunit (GRIA4) may play a pivotal role in regulating channel properties as well as trafficking of AMPA receptors in the adult human brain (Kawahara et al., 2004). Emerging evidence supports a role for glutamate in the biology of cancer. Knockdown of GLUR4 35 influenced the expression and function of genes involved in invasion and metastasis, tumor suppressor genes, oncogenes and adhesion genes (Luksch et al., 2011). GRIA4 has crucial roles in growth of glioblastoma. Blockage of Ca(2+)-permeable receptors containing GRIA4 subunits may be a useful therapeutic strategy for the prevention of glioblastoma invasion (Ishiuchi et al., 2002). Glioblastoma cells express Ca(2+)-permeable AMPARs assembled from the GluR1 and/or GluR4 subunits. The overexpression of Ca(2+)-permeable AMPA receptors facilitated migration and proliferation 40 of the tumor cells (Ishiuchi, 2009).

Clusterin (CLU)

[0098] Clusterin is an enigmatic heterodimeric glycoprotein with a nearly ubiquitous tissue distribution. It plays important 45 roles in various pathophysiological processes, including tissue remodeling, reproduction, lipid transport, complement regulation and apoptosis (Li et al., 2010; Niu et al., 2012). The product of the CLU gene promotes or inhibits tumorigenesis in a context-dependent manner. It has been hypothesized that different CLU isoforms have different and even opposing biological functions (Chaiwatanasirikul and Sala, 2011). The pro-apoptotic CLU appears to be a nuclear isoform (nuclear clusterin; nCLU), and the secretory CLU (sCLU) is thought to be anti-apoptotic (Kim et al., 2012b). As a pleiotropic 50 molecular chaperone, Clusterin confers survival and proliferative advantage to cancer cells (Shiota et al., 2012) and as a membrane-stabilizing protein it appears to be involved in limiting the autophagic lysis of epithelial cells during apoptosis (Bruchovsky et al., 1996). Overexpression of sCLU was detected in primary gastric cancer (Bi et al., 2010), ovarian cancer (Yang et al., 2009), breast cancer (Niu et al., 2012), lung cancer (Panico et al., 2013), hepatocellular carcinoma (Chen et al., 2012a) and was associated with poor survival and metastasis. 55 Ceramide synthase 1 (CERS1)

[0099] Ceramide, a bioactive sphingolipid, is now at the forefront of cancer research. Classically, ceramide is thought

17 EP 3 539 979 A2

to induce death, growth inhibition, and senescence in cancer cells (Saddoughi and Ogretmen, 2013). Ceramide synthase 1 (CerS1) acylates sphinganine (dihydrosphingosine) to form dihydroceramide and sphingosine to form ceramide (Fu- terman and Riezman, 2005). Jiang et al. (1998) analyzed the human tissue expression of CerS1 by Northern blotting and found the highest expression in brain, skeletal muscle and testis (Jiang et al., 1998). C(18)-pyridinium ceramide 5 treatment or endogenous C(18)-ceramide generation by CerS1 expression mediates autophagic cell death, independent of apoptosis in human cancer cells (Sentelle et al., 2012). Several lines of evidence point to a role for CerS1 in regulating the sensitivity to cancer chemotherapeutic agents and radiation (Min et al., 2007; Separovic et al., 2012). Further experiments demonstrated a growth-inhibiting and pro-apoptotic effect of overexpression of CerS1 and production of C18:0- ceramide in HNSCC cells (Senkal et al., 2007). 10 G protein-coupled receptor 98 (GPR98)

[0100] G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest superfamily of related proteins. The GPR98 gene encodes a member of the G-protein coupled receptor superfamily. The encoded protein contains a 7-transmembrane receptor 15 domain, binds calcium and is expressed in the central nervous system. By linkage analysis of YAC clones, FISH, and radiation hybrid analysis, Nikkila et al. (2000) mapped the GPR98 gene to chromosome 5q14.1 (Nikkila et al., 2000).By genomic sequence analysis, McMillan et al. (2002) determined that the GPR98 gene contains 90 exons and spans at least 600 kb (McMillan et al., 2002). Mutations in the large GPR98 gene are associated with Usher syndrome type 2C (Ebermann et al., 2009) and familial febrile seizures (Nakayama et al., 2000). In a study, GPR98 was associated with 20 glioblastoma multiforme patient survival (Sadeque et al., 2012).

Glycogenin 2 (GYG2)

[0101] Glycogenin is a self-glucosylating protein involved in the initiation phase of glycogen biosynthesis. It acts as a 25 primer, by polymerizing the first few glucose molecules, after which other enzymes take over. Cloning of the human glycogenin-2 gene GYG2, has revealed the presence of 11 exons and a gene of more than 46 kb in size (Zhai et al., 2000). By FISH, Mu and Roach (1998) mapped the GYG2 gene to Xp22.3. The level of glycogenin-2 can determine glycogen accumulation and hence has the potential to control glycogen synthesis (Mu and Roach, 1998).

30 Carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1C (CPT1C)

[0102] The CPT1C gene encodes a member of the carnitine/choline acetyltransferase family (Jog1 and Tong, 2003). The encoded protein regulates the beta-oxidation and transport of long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria, and may play a role in the regulation of feeding behavior and whole-body energy homeostasis (Bonnefont et al., 2004), (Wolfgang 35 et al., 2006). CPT1C is a newly identified and poorly understood brain-specific CPT1 homologue (Reamy and Wolfgang, 2011). Recent preclinical studies suggest that a gene usually expressed only in the brain, CPT1C, promotes cancer cell survival and tumor growth. Because of CPT1C’s normally brain-restricted expression and the inability of most drugs to pass the blood-brain barrier, CPT1C may be an ideal candidate for specific small-molecule inhibition (Reilly and Mak, 2012). 40 Solute carrier family 35, member E1 (SLC35E1)

[0103] The solute carrier family SLC35 consists of at least 17 molecular species in humans. The family members so far characterized encode nucleotide sugar transporters localizing at the Golgi apparatus and/or the endoplasmic reticulum 45 (ER) (Ishida and Kawakita, 2004). SLC35E1 was mapped on chromosome 19p13.11 (Gerhard et al., 2004). For patients with locally advanced rectal cancer a gene expression signature of 42 genes, which includes SLC35E1, might discriminate responders from non-responders. Thus, pre-therapeutic prediction of response of rectal carcinomas to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy is feasible, and may represent a new valuable and practical tool of therapeutic stratification (Rimkus et al., 2008). 50 Acid-sensing (proton-gated) ion channel family member 4 (ASIC4)

[0104] ASIC4 belongs to the super-gene family of amiloride-sensitive sodium channels. So far five different ASICs have been cloned from mammalian tissues. ASIC4 is expressed throughout the brain, in spinal cord, and inner ear 55 (Grunder et al., 2000). ASICs have been implicated with synaptic transmission, pain perception as well as mechano- perception. ASIC4 shows expression throughout the central nervous system with strongest expression in pituitary gland. ASIC4 is inactive by itself and its function is unknown. Mutations in ion channel subunits, which are homologues of ASICs lead to neurodegeneration in Caenorhabditis elegans. It has, therefore, been speculated that similar mutations

18 EP 3 539 979 A2

in ASICs may be responsible for neurodegeneration in humans (Grunder et al., 2001). Furthermore, in bone ASIC4 expression was always very low abundant (Jahr et al., 2005).

Collagen, type XX, alpha 1 (COL20A1) 5 [0105] COL20A1 is a collagen gene. The COL20A1 gene was mapped to the chromosome 20q13.33 (Deloukas et al., 2001). The function of this gene is still unknown. Recently, a study identified subsets of the concurrent genes associated with breast cancer recurrence, metastases, or mortality in survival analyses. A 16-gene signature, including COL20A1, was established for disease-free survival in Han Chinese breast cancer patients (Huang et al., 2013a). 10 Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)

[0106] EGFR is the proto-oncogene of erbB. EGFR is involved in the activation of a number of pathways that regulate the phenotype of progenitor cells. Activated EGFR tyrosine kinase activity enhances neural stem cell migration, prolif- 15 eration and survival. Overexpression of EGFR can augment cell growth because of increased formation of active lig- and:receptor complexes. Gene amplification is the mechanism underlying overexpression of EGF receptors in GBM tumors (Thompson and Gill, 1985). As EGFR signaling is also known to play a role in glioblastoma, it can be concluded that glioblastoma derives from a cancer stem cell and that EGFR signals are commonly altered in these precursor cells (yuso-Sacido et al., 2006). A range of potential therapies that target EGFR or its mutant constitutively active form, 20 ΔEGFR, including tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), monoclonal antibodies, vaccines, and RNA-based agents, are currently in development or in clinical trials for the treatment of GBM. Data from experimental studies evaluating these therapies have been very promising; however, their efficacy in the clinic has so far been limited by both upfront and acquired drug resistance. Many studies indicate that a multiple target approach will provide a more favorable future for these types of targeted therapies in GBM (Taylor et al., 2012). 25 Janus kinase and microtubule interacting protein 2 (JAKMIP2)/janus kinase and microtubule interacting protein 3 (JAKMIP3)

[0107] JAKMIP2 has been identified in 2012 (Cruz-Garcia et al., 2012) as a member of the family of longα -helical 30 coiled-coil proteins or golgins, which have diverse biological functions as motor proteins, membrane tethering and vesicle transportproteins (Roseand Meier, 2004; Rose etal., 2005).JAKMIP2 isa peripheral membrane protein,which distributes across the Golgi apparatus and post-Golgi carriers in neuroendocrine cells and may act as a negative modulator of the regulated trafficking of secretory cargo in neuroendocrine cells (Cruz-Garcia et al., 2012). JAKMIP3 was identified as a paralogue of JAKMIP2 (Cruz-Garcia et al., 2012) and a member of the family of longα -helical coiled-coil proteins or 35 golgins, which have diverse biological functions as motor proteins, membrane tethering and vesicle transport proteins (Rose and Meier, 2004; Rose et al., 2005). JAKMIP3 displays a long coiled-coil region highly similar to that of JAKMPI2 and an identical C-terminal transmembrane domain. As JAKMIP2, it is predominantly expressed in tissues containing cells with regulated secretory pathway, that is, endocrine and neural tissues. Both are peripheral membrane proteins are located to the Golgi apparatus and post-Golgi carriers and may act as negative modulators of the regulated trafficking 40 of secretory cargo in neuroendocrine cells (Cruz-Garcia et al., 2007; Cruz-Garcia et al., 2012; Malagon et al., 2009).

Wntless homolog (Drosophila) (WLS) / mesoderm induction early response 1 homolog (Xenopus laevis) (MIER1)

[0108] WLS is a transmembrane sorting receptor, which recycles between the trans-Golgi network and the cell surface. 45 WLS is required for efficient secretion of Wnt signaling proteins (Gasnereau et al., 2011). Loss of WLS in the follicular epithelium resulted in a profound hair cycle arrest (Myung et al., 2013). WLS functions as a negative regulator of melanoma proliferation and spontaneous metastasis by activating WNT/β-catenin signaling (Yang et al., 2012b). WLS is overexpressed in astrocytic glioma. Depletion of WLS in glioma and glioma-derived stem-like cells led to decreased cell proliferation and apoptosis. WLS silencing in glioma cells reduced cell migration and the capacity to form tumors in 50 vivo. WLS is an essential regulator of glioma tumorigenesis (Augustin et al., 2012). MIER1 is a fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-activated transcriptional regulator (Paterno et al., 1997). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encode multiple isoforms, some of which lack a C-terminal nuclear localization signal (Paterno et al., 2002). The oestrogen receptor- alpha (ER alpha) plays a key role in breast development and tumorigenesis and inhibiting its activity remains a prime strategy in the treatment of ER alpha-positive breast cancers. Differential splicing alters subcellular localization of the 55 alpha but not beta isoform of the MIER1 transcriptional regulator in breast cancer cells (Clements et al., 2012). It was suggested that loss of nuclear MI-ER1 alpha might contribute to the development of invasive breast carcinoma (McCarthy et al., 2008).

19 EP 3 539 979 A2

Insulin receptor substrate 2 (IRS2)

[0109] Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) are thought to promote tumor progression and metastasis in part by stimulating cell migration. The IRS proteins play a central role in mediating the signals from the IR/IGF-1R that control tumor cell 5 metabolism (Shaw, 2011). Insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) and IRS-2 are multisite docking proteins positioned immediately downstream from the type I IGF and insulin receptors. IRS-2 is ubiquitously expressed and is the primary mediator of insulin-dependent mitogenesis and regulation of glucose metabolism in most cell types (White, 2002). IRS- 2 is also ubiquitously expressed in many types of cancer (Mardilovich et al., 2009). IRS-2 but not IRS-1 has been reported to be involved in the migratory response of breast cancer cells to IGFs (de Blaquiere et al., 2009). IRS-2 is often associated 10 with tumor motility and invasion (Mardilovich et al., 2009). Some data show that IRS2 is expressed in the kidney epithelium. The specific up-regulation of IRS2 in the kidney tubules of diabetic nephropathy (DN) patients indicates a novel role for IRS2 as a marker and/or mediator of human DN progression (Hookham et al., 2013).

N-acetyltransferase 8-like (GCN5-related, putative) (NAT8L) 15 [0110] NAT8L (N-acetyltransferase 8-like) was recently identified as aspartate N-acetyltransferase, the enzyme that makes N-acetylaspartate, the second most abundant metabolite in mammalian brain. The NAT8L protein is a neuron- specific protein and is the N-acetylaspartate (NAA) biosynthetic enzyme, catalyzing the NAA synthesis from L-aspartate and acetyl-CoA (Wiame et al., 2010), (Ariyannur et al., 2010). NAT8L, a neuron-specific protein, is mutated in primary 20 NAA deficiency (hypoacetylaspartia) (Wiame et al., 2010).

Tenascin C (TNC)

[0111] Tenascin-C (TNC) is an extracellular matrix protein that is highly up-regulated in processes that are closely 25 associated with elevated migratory activity such as embryonic development (Bartsch et al., 1992), wound healing (Mackie et al., 1988) and neoplastic processes (Chiquet-Ehrismann, 1993; Chiquet-Ehrismann and Chiquet, 2003). Furthermore, TNC is over-expressed in tumor vessels that have a high proliferative index, which indicates that TNC is involved in neoplastic angiogenesis (Kim et al., 2000). In normal human brain, the expression of TNC is detected only rarely whereas it is expressed at high levels in malignant gliomas (Bourdon et al., 1983). Recently, TNC was identified as target gene 30 of Notch signalling in malignant gliomas as well as in GBM cell lines (Sivasankaran et al., 2009). Overexpression of TNC has further been reported from colon cancer (De et al., 2013), adenoid cystic carcinoma, where it has been associated with worst prognosis (Siu et al., 2012), juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma, where it possibly promotes angiogenesis (Renkonen et al., 2012), advanced melanoma (Fukunaga-Kalabis et al., 2010), pancreatic cancer, where it plays a role in proliferation, migration and metastasis (Paron et al., 2011). 35 Microtubule-associated protein 1B (MAPIB)

[0112] The MAP1B gene encodes a protein that belongs to the microtubule-associated protein family. The proteins of this family are thought to be involved in microtubule assembly, which is an essential step in neurogenesis. MAP1B 40 regulates tyrosination of alpha-tubulin in neuronal microtubules which may be important for general processes involved in nervous system development such as axonal guidance and neuronal migration (Utreras et al., 2008). MAP 1B was strongly and diffusely expressed in neuroblastomas, it was also focally or multifocally expressed in rhabdomyosarcomas and in stroma of Wilms tumors (Willoughby et al., 2008). Further, microtubule-associated protein 1B light chain (MAP1B- LC1) negatively regulates the activity of tumor suppressor p53 in neuroblastoma cells (Lee et al., 2008a). 45 Neurocan (NCAN)

[0113] Neurocan is a nervous system-specific CSPG, which belongs to the aggrecan/versican proteoglycan family. It is an important component of the extracellular matrix of the brain especially during development and is down-regulated 50 in most areas of the brain during maturation (Rauch, 2004; Zimmermann et al., 1994). NCAN has several binding partners including the ECM components tenascin C (Grumet et al., 1994), hyaluronan (Melrose et al., 1996; Zhang et al., 2004) and the membrane proteins L1CAM (Grumet et al., 1994) and heparin sulfate proteoglycans (Akita et al., 2004). Several studies consider a correlation of NCAN with tumor invasiveness. In a comparison of locally infiltrative glioblastoma and well-confined intracerebral metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma, NCAN showed a higher expression on mRNA and protein 55 (IHC) level in glioblastoma (Klekner et al., 2010; Varga et al., 2010). NCAN and 3 other genes were found to correlate with the invasive phenotype of low-grade astrocytoma (Varga et al., 2012).

20 EP 3 539 979 A2

Adenosine A3 receptor (ADORA3)

[0114] ADORA3 encodes a protein that belongs to the family of adenosine receptors, which are G-protein-coupled receptors that are involved in a variety of intracellular signaling pathways and physiological functions. It has been accepted 5 that A3ARs (ADORA3) are highly expressed in tumor cells showing an important role in the development of cancer (Fishman et al., 2002), (Merighi et al., 2003), (Gessi et al., 2008), (Bar-Yehuda et al., 2008). For the human A3AR, potent and selective agonists as well as selective A3AR antagonists have been identified. CI-IB-MECA, an agonist of A3AR (ADORA3), has been reported to induce cell death in various cancer cells. CI-IB-MECA induce a caspase-dependent cell death through suppression of ERK and Akt mediated by an increase in intracellular Ca(2+) and ROS generation in 10 human glioma cells (Kim et al., 2012a) and in human bladder cancer cells (Kim et al., 2010). The A3AR agonist, IB- MECA, inhibits in vivo tumor growth and metastasis of prostate cancer in mice, in addition to inhibition of in vitro cell proliferation and invasion of prostate cancer cells (Jajoo et al., 2009).

Neuronal PAS domain protein 3 (NPAS3) 15 [0115] NPAS3 is a member of the basic helix-loop-helix PAS domain class of transcription factors expressed in the brain, that have diverse roles including cancer development and neurobehavior (Brunskill et al., 1999), (Erbel-Sieler et al., 2004), (Kamnasaran et al., 2003), (Lavedan et al., 2009). Furthermore, deletion of chromosome 14 with NPAS3 has been reported in numerous tumors including oligodendrogliomas, melanomas, and carcinomas of the breast, prostate 20 gland, and urogenital tract, as compared with normal nonneoplastic tissues (Schaefer et al., 2001), (Kimchi et al., 2005), (Turashvili et al., 2007), (Harada et al., 2008). NPAS3 exhibits features of a tumor-suppressor, which drives the progression of astrocytomas by modulating the cell cycle, proliferation, apoptosis, and cell migration/invasion and has a further influence on the viability of endothelial cells. Of clinical importance, absence of NPAS3 expression in glioblastomas was a significantly negative prognostic marker of survival. While overexpressed NPAS3 in malignant glioma cell lines 25 significantly suppressed transformation, the converse decreased expression considerably induced more aggressive growth (Moreira et al., 2011). NPAS3 drives the progression of human malignant astrocytomas as a tumor suppressor and is a negative prognostication marker for survival (Moreira et al., 2011).

Neuroligin 4, X-linked (NLGN4X) / neuroligin 4, Y-linked (NLGN4Y) / neuroligin 2 (NLGN2) / neuroligin 3 (NLGN3) 30 [0116] The neuroligin gene family consists of five members: NLGN1 at 3q26, NLGN2 at 17p13, NLGN3 at Xq13, NLGN4 at Xp22, and NLGN4Y at Yq11 (Ylisaukko-oja et al., 2005). Neuroligin 4, X-linked is a member of a cell adhesion protein family that appears to play a role in the maturation and function of neuronal synapses. One paper describes the detection of NLGN4X mRNA in the brain of healthy adults by RT-PCR (Jamain et al., 2003). Furthermore, an upregulation 35 of NLGN4X has been described from human embryonic neural stem cells and adult human olfactory bulb-derived neural stem cells (Marei et al., 2012). Mutations in the X-linked NLGN4 gene are a potential cause of autistic spectrum disorders, and mutations have been reported in several patients with autism, Asperger syndrome, and mental retardation (Jamain et al., 2003; Laumonnier et al., 2004; Lawson-Yuen et al., 2008). Few associations of NLGN4X with cancer have been described. In gastrointestinal stromal tumors, over-expression of NLGN4X has been found in paediatric and young adult 40 versus older adult cases (Prakash et al., 2005). [0117] Neuroligins, such as NLGN4Y, are cell adhesion molecules present at the postsynaptic side of the synapse and may be essential for the formation of functional synapses (Jamain et al., 2003). Skaletsky et al. (2003) determined that NLGN4Y, the Y-chromosomal homolog of NLGN4, was expressed in fetal and adult brain, prostate, and testis (Skaletsky et al., 2003). Some data suggested that sequence variants in NLGN4Y might be associated with autism or 45 mental retardation (Ylisaukko-oja et al., 2005; Yan et al., 2008). NLGN2 is highly expressed in cultured neurons (Chubykin et al., 2007). Among NLGN family proteins, NLGN2 is critical for inhibitory synaptic transmission (Chubykin et al., 2007) and defects in inhibitory circuit function contribute to the working memory impairments that represent major clinical features of schizophrenia (Lewis et al., 2005). Mutations of the neuroligin-2 gene (NLGN2) were associated with schizophrenia (Sun et al., 2011). 50 [0118] In cultured hippocampal neurons, endogenous NLGN3 was highly expressed and was localized at both glutamatergic and GABAergic synapses (Budreck and Scheiffele, 2007). Recently, point mutations in a family of neuronal cell adhesion molecules called neuroligins have been linked to autism-spectrum disorders and mental retardation. Over- expression of wild-type NLGN3 protein in hippocampal neurons stimulates the formation of presynaptic terminals, whereas the disease-associated mutations result in a loss of this synaptic function (Chih et al., 2004). Further, mutations in 55 the NLGN3 gene affect cell-adhesion molecules localized at the synapse and suggest that a defect of synaptogenesis may predispose to autism (Jamain et al., 2003).

Dipeptidyl-peptidase 3 (DPP3) / Bardet-Biedl syndrome 1 (BBS1)

[0119] The DPP3 gene encodes a protein that is a member of the S9B family in clan SC of the serine proteases. DPP3 was mapped to the chromosome 11q12-q13.1 (Fukasawa et al., 2000). DPP3 is a cytosolic zinc-exopeptidase involved 5 in the intracellular protein catabolism of eukaryotes (Abramic et al., 2004). Tumor cytosol DPP3 activity is increased in primary ovarian carcinomas (Simaga et al., 2003) and the proteolytic activity of DPP3 might be a biochemical indicator of endometrial or ovarian malignancies (Simaga et al., 2008), (Simaga et al., 1998). Altered expression of DPP3 suggests involvement in primary ovarian carcinoma, oxidative stress, pain, inflammation and cataractogenesis (Prajapati and Chauhan, 2011). Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a genetic disorder with the primary features of obesity, pigmentary 10 retinopathy, polydactyly, renal malformations, mental retardation, and hypogenitalism. Patients with BBS are also at increased risk for diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and congenital heart disease. BBS is known to map to at least six loci: 11q13 (BBS1), 16q21 (BBS2), 3p13-p12 (BBS3), 15q22.3-q23 (BBS4), 2q31 (BBS5), and 20p12 (BBS6) (Mykytyn et al., 2003). The BBS1 protein may play a role in eye, limb, cardiac and reproductive system development. Mutations in this gene have been observed in patients with the major form (type 1) of Bardet-Biedl syndrome (Harville et al., 2010). 15 Experimental studies have demonstrated that BBS1 expression is strictly limited to ciliated cells, including photoreceptors which are the primary ciliated cells in the retina (Azari et al., 2006).

Ubiquitin specific peptidase 11 (USP11)

20 [0120] Ubiquitination of chromosome-associated proteins is important for many aspects of DNA repair and transcriptional regulation (Vissers et al., 2008; Weake and Workman, 2008). The full-length cDNA of USP11 was cloned from a Jurkat cell library. By immunofluorescence assay, USP11 primarily was localized in the nucleus of non-dividing cells (Ideguchi et al., 2002). USP-11, a member of the ubiquitin-specific protease family, has emerged as an essential regulator of double-strand break repair (Bayraktar et al., 2013; Wiltshire et al., 2010). USP11 might participate in DNA damage 25 repair within the BRCA2 pathway (Schoenfeld et al., 2004), but had no apparent effect on p53 (Li et al., 2002). Low USP-11 expression correlated with better survival outcomes in women with breast cancer (Bayraktar et al., 2013). Increased endogenous USP11 mRNA levels in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) cells were associated with increased sensitivity to mitoxantrone, a USP11 inhibitor. Interestingly, USP11 silencing in PDA cells also enhanced sensitivity to gemcitabine (Burkhart et al., 2013). 30 Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (EIF4E)

[0121] EIF4E is a eukaryotic translation initiation factor involved in directing ribosomes to the cap structure of mRNAs. EIF4E, an important regulator of translation, plays a crucial role in the malignant transformation, progression and radi- 35 oresistance of many human solid tumors. The overexpression of eIF4E has been associated with tumor formation in a wide range of human malignancies (Yang et al., 2012a; Nasr et al., 2013; Wheater et al., 2010). Levels of EIF4E have also been associated with poor prognosis and outcome (Carroll and Borden, 2013). EIF4E regulates the translation of multiple oncogenic networks that control cell survival, proliferation, metastasis, and angiogenesis. EIF4E is a potent oncogene that promotes the nuclear export and translation of specific transcripts (Culjkovic-Kraljacic et al., 2012). 40 Pleckstrin homology domain containing, family A (phosphoinositide binding specific) member 4 (PLEKHA4)

[0122] By searching EST databases for proteins containing a putative phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate-binding motif (PPBM), followed by screening a human universal cDNA library, Dowler et al. (2000) obtained a full-length cDNA 45 encoding PLEKHA4, which they designated PEPP1. Northern blot analysis did not detect expression in any normal tissue, but a 3-kb transcript was detected at high levels in a melanoma cancer cell line. The PLEKHA4 gene was mapped to chromosome 19q13.33 (Dowler et al., 2000). Pleckstrin homology domain (PH domain) is a protein domain of approximately 120 amino acids that occurs in a wide range of proteins involved in intracellular signaling or as constituents of the cytoskeleton (Musacchio et al., 1993). PH domains play a role in recruiting proteins to different membranes, thus 50 targeting them to appropriate cellular compartments or enabling them to interact with other components of the signal transduction pathways (Ingley and Hemmings, 1994). The PH domain of PEPP1 is located at the N-terminal region of PEPP1, and there are no other obvious functional motifs (Dowler et al., 2000).

Chaperonin containing TCP1, subunit 7 (eta) (CCT7) 55 [0123] The chaperonin-containing t-complex polypeptide 1 (CCT) is a cytosolic molecular chaperone composed of eight subunits, CCT1-CCT8, that assists in the folding of actin, tubulin and other cytosolic proteins (Yokota et al., 2001). By FISH, Edwards et al. (1997) mapped the CCT7 gene to chromosome 2p13 (Edwards et al., 1997). Some observations

22 EP 3 539 979 A2

suggest that increased expression of CCT-eta appears to be a marker for latent and active disease in Dupuytren’s contracture patients and to be essential for the increased contractility exhibited by the fibroblasts (Satish et al., 2013). CCT7 was shown to be different between of late stage colon cancers versus control (Nibbe et al., 2009).

5 Nucleolar complex associated 4 homolog (S. cerevisiae) (NOC4L)

[0124] NOC4L was mapped on chromosome 12q24.33 (Milkereit et al., 2003). The function of NOC4L is still unknown and the protein has not been biologically characterized.

10 Coiled-coil-helix-coiled-coil-helix domain containing 2 (CHCHD2)

[0125] CHCHD2 was identified as a novel cell migration determinant. Intracellular localization and further functional studies suggested that CHCHD2 and HABP1 may mutually regulate each other to balance cell migration (Seo et al., 2010). CHCHD2 is involved in mitochondrial function and PKIB in protein kinase A-dependent pathway regulation (Feyeux 15 et al., 2012). In patients with Huntington’s disease CHCHD2 expression differs from normal cells (Feyeux et al., 2012).

SRY (sex determining region Y)-box 8 (SOX8) / SRY (sex determining region Y)-box 9 (SOX9) / SRY (sex determining region Y)-box 10 (SOX10)

20 [0126] Sox8 is a transcription factor and belongs besides Sox9 and Sox10 to group E of the Sox gene family. It is involved in the regulation of embryonic development and in the determination of the cell fate. The protein may be involved in brain development and function. Sox8 is strongly expressed in the embryonic and adult brain, in immature glia in the developing cerebellum. It is also expressed in medulloblastoma and provides an early glial marker (Cheng et al., 2001). It was shown, that Sox8 was able to form DNA-dependent heterodimers with Sox10 (Stolt et al., 2004). 25 [0127] Sox9 is implicated in melanogenesis in the adult and associated with cancerous transformation (Harris et al., 2010), (Flammiger et al., 2009), (Rao et al., 2010). Furthermore it was described as regulating cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM) production and cell proliferation, and it is expressed in a wide range of cancers, where it regulates cell proliferation (Pritchett et al., 2011). Over-expression of SOX9 mRNA is closely associated with poor clinical outcome of patients with malignant gliomas (Wang et al., 2012a). The Sox10 protein acts as a nucleocytoplasmic shuttle protein 30 and is important for neural crest and peripheral nervous system development. Sox10 was restricted to later stages of oligodendrocyte development (Kordes et al., 2005) and it was described as an oligodendroglial lineage marker (Rousseau et al., 2006). Sox10 was consistently expressed in RIGs (Radiation-induced glioblastomas) but rarely in pediatric GBMs (Donson et al., 2007).

35 Cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) / cyclin-dependent kinase 6 (CDK6)

[0128] CDK4 is a member of the Ser/Thr protein kinase family. It is a catalytic subunit of the protein kinase complex that is important for cell cycle G1 phase progression. The activity of this kinase is restricted to the G1-to S phase transitio n during the cell cycle and its expression is primarily controlled at the transcriptional level (Xiao et al., 2007). CDK4 and 40 CDK6 enzymes and their regulators, e.g., cyclins, play critical roles in embryogenesis, homeostasis, and cancerogenesis (Graf et al., 2010). In lung cancer tissues, the expression level of CDK4 protein was significantly increased compared to normal tissues (P < 0.001). Patients with higher CDK4 expression had a markedly shorter overall survival time than patients with low CDK4 expression. Multivariate analysis suggested the level of CDK4 expression was an independent prognostic indicator (P < 0.001) for the survival of patients with lung cancer. Furthermore, suppressing CDK4 expression 45 also significantly elevated the expression of cell cycle regulator p21 (Wu et al., 2011). In lung cells that express an endogenous K-Ras oncogene, ablation of Cdk4, but not Cdk2 or Cdk6, induces an immediate senescence response. No such response occurs in lungs expressing a single Cdk4 allele or in other K-Ras-expressing tissues. Targeting Cdk4 alleles in advanced tumors detectable by computed tomography scanning also induces senescence and prevents tumor progression (Puyol et al., 2010). 50 Melanoma antigen family F, 1 (MAGEF1)

[0129] Most known members of the MAGE (melanoma-associated antigen) superfamily are expressed in tumors, testis and fetal tissues, which has been described as a cancer/testis expression pattern (MAGE subgroup I). Peptides 55 of MAGE subgroup I have been successfully used in peptide and DC vaccination (Nestle et al., 1998; Marchand et al., 1999; Marchand et al., 1999; Marchand et al., 1995; Thurner et al., 1999). In contrast, some MAGE genes (MAGE subgroup II), such as MAGEF1, are expressed ubiquitously in all adult and fetal tissues tested and also in many tumor types including ovarian, breast, cervical, melanoma and leukemia (Nestle et al., 1998; Marchand et al., 1999; Marchand

23 EP 3 539 979 A2

et al., 1999; Marchand et al., 1995; Thurner et al., 1999). Nevertheless, overexpression of MAGEF1 could be detected in glioblastoma (Tsai et al., 2007) and in 79 % of a cohort of Taiwanese colocrectal cancer patients (Chung et al., 2010).

Neuroligin 4, X-linked (NLGN4X) 5 [0130] Neuroligin 4, X-linked is a member of a cell adhesion protein family that appears to play a role in the maturation and function of neuronal synapses. One paper describes the detection of NLGN4X mRNA in the brain of healthy adults by RT-PCR (Jamain et al., 2003). Furthermore, an upregulation of NLGN4X has been described from human embryonic neural stem cells and adult human olfactory bulb-derived neural stem cells (Marei et al., 2012). Mutations in the X-linked 10 NLGN4 gene are a potential cause of autistic spectrum disorders, and mutations have been reported in several patients with autism, Asperger syndrome, and mental retardation (Jamain et al., 2003; Laumonnier et al., 2004; Lawson-Yuen et al., 2008). Few associations of NLGN4X with cancer have been described. In gastrointestinal stromal tumors, overexpression of NLGN4X has been found in paediatric and young adult versus older adult cases (Prakash et al., 2005).

15 Vacuolar protein sorting 13 homolog B (VPS13B)

[0131] VPS13B was identified as a peripheral membrane protein localized to the Golgi complex, where it overlaps with the cis-Golgi matrix protein GM130. Consistent with its subcellular localization, VPS13B depletion using RNAi causes fragmentation of the Golgi ribbon into ministacks (Seifert et al., 2011). Kolehmainen et al. (2003) identified the 20 COH1 gene, also known as VPS13B, within the Cohen syndrome critical region on chromosome 8q22 (Kolehmainen et al., 2003). Loss-of-function mutations in the gene VPS13B lead to autosomal recessive Cohen syndrome (Seifert et al., 2011). Mutations of VPS13B and other genes were described in gastric and colorectal cancers with microsatellite instability (An et al., 2012).

25 Neuronal cell adhesion molecule (NRCAM)

[0132] NRCAM (neuronal cell adhesion molecule) is a neuronal transmembrane cell adhesion molecule with multiple immunoglobulin-like C2-type and fibronectin type-III domains. It is involved in the guidance, outgrowth, and fasciculation of neuronal cells (Grumet et al., 1991; Morales et al., 1993; Stoeckli and Landmesser, 1995; Perrin et al., 2001; Sakurai 30 et al., 2001) by forming homophilic, as well as heterophilic interactions with other IgCAMs (Volkmer et al., 1996; Sakurai et al., 1997; Zacharias et al., 1999). NRCAM is upregulated in anaplastic astrocytomas and GBM tumor tissues as compared to normal brain, and increased levels are correlated with the invasive behaviour (Sehgal et al., 1998). Antisense RNA against NRCAM decreases the tumorigenic capacity of human GBM cells (Sehgal et al., 1999). NRCAM is also overexpressedin humanpapillary thyroid carcinomas atthe mRNA andprotein levels (Gorka et al.,2007). Overexpression 35 of NRCAM mRNA in tumors is associated with high proliferation indices and was associated with a poor outcome in ependymomas (Zangen et al., 2007). In colon cancer as well, overexpression of NRCAM was associated with poor prognosis in advanced patients (Chan et al., 2011), while in prostate cancer, a high level of NRCAM expression was associated with favorable tumor phenotype and reduced risk of PSA recurrence (Tsourlakis et al., 2013).

40 RAD54 homolog B (S. cerevisiae) (RAD54B)

[0133] DNA repair and recombination protein RAD54B is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RAD54B gene. RAD54 binds to double-stranded DNA, and displays ATPase activity in the presence of DNA. The human RAD54B protein is a paralog of the RAD54 protein, which plays important roles in homologous recombination. Homologous 45 recombination (HR) is essential for the accurate repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) (Sarai et al., 2008). Knock- down of RAD54B, a gene known to be somatically mutated in cancer, causes chromosome instability (CIN) in mammalian cells (McManus et al., 2009). RAD54B elevated gene expression is significantly associated with shorter time-to-progression and poor OS in GBM patients (Grunda et al., 2010).

50 Fatty acid binding protein 7, brain (FABP7)

[0134] Fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs) are cytosolic 14-15 kDa proteins, which are supposed to be involved in fatty acid (FA) uptake, transport, and targeting. FABP7 is highly expressed in the developing brain and retina and its expression decreases significantly in the adult CNS (Godbout et al., 1998). Based on in vitro results, it has been suggested 55 that FABP7 is required for the establishment of the radial glial system of the developing brain (Mita et al., 2007). In normal brain FABP7 protein is barely detectable but shows moderate to strong nuclear and cytoplasmic expression in several GBMs. FABP7-transfected cells display 5-fold greater migration than control cells. Thus, the shorter overall survival associated with FABP7 overexpression especially in glioblastoma may be due to increased migration and

24 EP 3 539 979 A2

invasion of tumor cells into the surrounding brain parenchyma (Liang et al., 2005). Further analysis of FABP7 distribution in astrocytoma tumors indicates elevated levels of FABP7 in infiltrating regions of the tumors proposing an important role for FABP7 in driving the infiltration of malignant cells into adjacent brain tissues (Mita et al., 2007; De et al., 2012). The FABP7 promoter was shown to be hypomethylated consistent with its overexpression in GMB (Etcheverry et al., 5 2010).

Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 4 (CSPG4)

[0135] CSPG4 (chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan) represents an integral membrane chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 10 on nascent pericytes with a functional role in neovascularization (Ozerdem, 2006). There is accumulating evidence from in vitro data that CSPG4 plays an important role in tumor angiogenesis. Thus, CSPG4-positive tumors have been found to have significantly increased neovascularization rates and vascular volumes, and CSPG4 has been shown to sequester angiostatin, which normally inhibits endothelial cell proliferation and angiogenesis (Chekenya et al., 2002). CSPG4 is over-expressed by both tumor cells and pericytes on the blood vessels of malignant brain tumors (Chekenya and Pilk- 15 ington, 2002). CSPG4 is differentially expressed in human gliomas with higher expression in high compared to low- grade gliomas (Chekenya et al., 1999). High CSPG4 levels on tumor cells and associated vessels were associated with significantly shorter survival in GBM (Svendsen et al., 2011). Targeting CSPG4 in two heterogeneous GBM xenografts significantly reduced tumor growth and oedema levels, angiogenesis and normalised vascular function (Wang et al., 2011a). Recently, CSPG4 has even been reported to be up-regulated in a glioblastoma-derived stem-like cell line (He 20 et al., 2010). High expression of CSPG4 correlates with multidrug resistance mediated by increased activation of α3β1 integrin/PI3K signaling and their downstream targets, promoting cell survival (Chekenya et al., 2008).

ORM1-like 1 (S. cerevisiae) (ORMDL1)

25 [0136] The human genes (ORMDL1, ORMDL2 and ORMDL3) are expressed ubiquitously in adult and fetal tissues, they encode transmembrane proteins anchored in the endoplasmic reticulum which are likely involved in protein folding in the ER. By genomic sequence analysis, Hjelmqvist et al. (2002) mapped the ORMDL1 gene to chromosome 2q32.2 (Hjelmqvist et al., 2002). ORMDL proteins are the primary regulators of ceramide biosynthesis in mammalian cells (Siow and Wattenberg, 2012). ORMDL1 is specifically down-regulated in association with presenilin 1 (PS1) mutations (Araki 30 et al., 2008).

Transforming, acidic coiled-coil containing protein 3 (TACC3)

[0137] TACC3 exists in a complex with ch-TOG (colonic and hepatic tumor over-expressed gene) and clathrin that 35 cross-links microtubules in kinetochore fibers. TACC3 is expressed in certain proliferative tissues including testis, lung, spleen, bone marrow, thymus and peripheral blood leukocytes. TACC3 expression is altered in some human tumor types. In cells, TACC3 is localized to both centrosomes and spindle microtubules but not at astral microtubules (Hood and Royle, 2011). TACC3 expression was correlated with p53 expression, and patient whose tumors highly expressed TACC3 and p53 had a significantly poorer prognosis than patients whose tumors had low-level expression for both 40 immunostainings (P = 0.006). It is suggested that increase in TACC3 may impart a proliferative advantage to glioblastoma and contribute to tumor progression, and that TACC3 expression is a strong prognostic indicator of clinical outcome in glioblastoma (Jung et al., 2006). Tacc3 may be a negative regulator of the Notch signaling pathway (Bargo et al., 2010).

Doublecortin-like kinase 2 (DCLK2) 45 [0138] The microtubule (MT)-associated DCX protein plays an essential role in the development of the mammalian cerebral cortex. Identification of a protein kinase, doublecortin kinase-2 (DCAMKL2), with a domain (DC) highly homologous to DCX was reported. Overexpression of DCAMKL2 stabilizes the MT cytoskeleton against cold-induced depo- lymerization. Autophosphorylation of DCAMKL2 strongly reduces its affinity for MTs (Edelman et al., 2005). DCLK2 is 50 a member of the CaMK Ser/Thr protein kinase family, which is not calcium- or CaM-dependent, and rather inhibits CRE- dependent gene expression (Ohmae et al., 2006). DCLK2 is highly expressed in the central nervous system (Edelman et al., 2005) in a neuron-specific manner (Ohmae et al., 2006). It is expressed in proliferating neurons during development and persists in post-mitotic neurons in adulthood. In sympathetic neurons, DCLK2 is localized to the cell body and to the terminal segments of axons and dendrites (Tuy et al., 2008; Edelman et al., 2005). 55 Pecanex-like 3 (Drosophila) (PCNXL3)

[0139] Pecanex-like protein 3 (PCNXL3) is a multi-pass membrane protein; it belongs to the pecanex family. The

25 EP 3 539 979 A2

PCNXL3 gene was mapped to the chromosomal region 11q12.1-q13. Three novel human tumor-associated translocation breakpointswere locatedin the chromosome 11q13region betweenthe markers D11S4933and D11S546. Thus PCNXL3 might be an 11q13-associated disease gene (van et al., 2000).

5 Dihydropyrimidinase-like 4 (DPYSL4)

[0140] Dihydropyrimidinase-related protein 4 (DPYSL4) is a known regulator of hippocampal neuron development. DPYSL4 is involved in growth regulation, polarization and differentiation of dental epithelial cells during tooth germ morphogenesis (Yasukawa et al., 2013). Some studies showed DPYSL4’s role in attenuating neurite outgrowth possibility 10 through inhibiting microtubule polymerization, and also revealed its novel association with vimentin during nuclear condensation prior to neuronal death (Aylsworth et al., 2009). The p53 tumor suppressor gene, which is frequently mutated in a wide variety of tumors, plays an important role in maintaining genomic integrity. Both mRNA and protein expressions of DPYSL4 were specifically induced by anticancer agents in p53-proficient cells. DPYSL4 is an apoptosis-inducible factor controlled by p53 in response to DNA damage (Kimura et al., 2011). 15 Insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA binding protein 3 (IGF2BP3)

[0141] IGF2BP3 is a member of the insulin-like growth factor-II mRNA-binding protein family, implicated in mRNA localization, turnover and translational control. The protein contains several KH (K-homologous) domains, which are 20 important in RNA binding and are known to be involved in RNA synthesis and metabolism. Expression occurs mainly during embryonic development and has been described for some tumors. Thus, IGF2BP3 is considered to be an onco- foetal protein (Liao et al., 2005). IGF2BP3 may promote tumor cell proliferation by enhancing IGF-II protein synthesis and by inducing cell adhesion and invasion through stabilization of CD44 mRNA (Findeis-Hosey and Xu, 2012). Moreover, IGF2BP3 expression has been studied in many human neoplasms with growing evidence that it mediates migration, 25 invasion, cell survival and tumor metastasis (Jeng et al., 2009; Kabbarah et al., 2010; Li et al., 2011a; Liao et al., 2011; Lu et al., 2011; Hwang et al., 2012; Samanta et al., 2012) and it might also be implicated in angiogenesis (Suvasini et al., 2011; Chen et al., 2012b). In lung adenocarcinomas, a higher frequency of IGF2BP3 expression can be detected in moderately or poorly differentiated adenocarcinomas, which may be associated with an aggressive biological behavior (Findeis-Hosey et al., 2010; Beljan et al., 2012; Findeis-Hosey and Xu, 2012). 30 Drosha, ribonuclease type III (DROSHA)

[0142] Drosha is a Class 2 RNase III enzyme responsible for initiating the processing of microRNA (miRNA), or short RNA molecules naturally expressed by the cell that regulate a wide variety of other genes by interacting with the RNA- 35 induced silencing complex (RISC) to induce cleavage of complementary messenger RNA (mRNA) as part of the RNAi pathway. A microRNA molecule is synthesized as a long RNA primary transcript known as a pri-miRNA, which is cleaved by Drosha to produce a characteristic stem-loop structure of about 70 base pairs long, known as a pre-miRNA (Lee et al., 2003). Drosha exists as part of a protein complex called the Microprocessor complex, which also contains the double- stranded RNA binding protein Pasha (also called DGCR8) (Denli et al., 2004), which is essential for Drosha activity and 40 is capable of binding single-stranded fragments of the pri-miRNA that are required for proper processing (Han et al., 2006). Human Drosha was cloned in 2000, when it was identified as a nuclear dsRNA ribonuclease involved in the processing of ribosomal RNA precursors (Wu et al., 2000). Drosha was the first human RNase III enzyme identified and cloned. The other two human enzymes that participate in the processing and activity of miRNA are the Dicer and Argonaute proteins. Both Drosha and Pasha are localized to the cell nucleus, where processing of pri-miRNA to pre- 45 miRNA occurs. This latter molecule is then further processed by the RNase Dicer into mature miRNAs in the cell cytoplasm (Lee et al., 2003). Drosha and other miRNA processing enzymes may be important in cancer prognosis (Slack and Weidhaas, 2008).

ATP-binding cassette, sub-family A (ABC1), member 13 (ABCA13) 50 [0143] In human, the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) family of transmembrane transporters has at least 48 genes and 7 gene subfamilies. The predicted ABCA13 protein consists of 5,058 amino acid residues making it the largest ABC protein described to date (Prades et al., 2002). Knight et al. determined that ABCA13 protein is expressed in mouse and human hippocampus and cortex, both regions relevant to schizophrenia and bipolar disorder (Knight et al., 2009). The ABCA13 55 gene maps to chromosome 7p12.3, a region that contains an inherited disorder affecting the pancreas (Shwachman- Diamond syndrome) as well as a locus involved in T-cell tumor invasion and metastasis (INM7), and therefore is a positional candidate for these pathologies (Prades et al., 2002).

26 EP 3 539 979 A2

Cyclin B1 (CCNB1)

[0144] CCNB1 is a regulatory protein involved in mitosis. The gene product complexes with p34(cdc2) to form the maturation-promoting factor (MPF) (Zhao et al., 2006; Gong and Ferrell, Jr., 2010). In collaboration with p53, cyclins B1 5 and G1 regulate the G2/M transition, a key checkpoint in the active cell cycle (Li et al., 2003). Subsequent independent investigations identified in a variety of cancers a CCNB1 (over-)expression which was associated with a tendency to tumor progression and/or poor clinical prognosis e.g. in colorectal carcinoma (Li et al., 2003), RCC (Tsavachidou-Fenner et al., 2010), breast cancer (Aaltonen et al., 2009; Agarwal et al., 2009; Suzuki et al., 2007; Chae et al., 2011), medulloblastoma (de et al., 2008), squamous cell lung cancer (Kettunen et al., 2004), gastrointestinal stromal tumors (Koon 10 et al., 2004), esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (Song et al., 2008), laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (Dong et al., 2002), oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (Harada et al., 2006), adrenocortical carcinomas (Soon et al., 2009), pulmonary adenocarcinoma (Wikman et al., 2002), non-small cell lung cancer (Cooper et al., 2009), cervical cancer (Zhao et al., 2006), prolactin pituitary tumors (Raverot et al., 2010) and renal cell carcinoma (Ikuerowo et al., 2006).

15 CCR4-NOT transcription complex, subunit 1 (CNOT1)

[0145] The human CCR4-NOT deadenylase complex consists of at least nine enzymatic and non-enzymatic subunits. CNOT1 has an important role in exhibiting enzymatic activity of the CCR4-NOT complex, and thus is critical in control of mRNA deadenylation and mRNA decay. CNOT1 depletion structurally and functionally deteriorates the CCR4-NOT- 20 complex and induces stabilization of mRNAs, which results in the increment of translation causing ER stress-mediated apoptosis. Ito et al. conclude that CNOT1 contributes to cell viability by securing the activity of the CCR4-NOT deadenylase (Ito et al., 2011). siRNA-mediated depletion of endogenous CNOT1 or other Ccr4-Not subunits in breast cancer cells results in deregulation of ERalpha target genes (increased induction of ERα target genes TTF1 and c-Myc). These findings define a function for the human Ccr4-Not complex as a transcriptional repressor of nuclear receptor signaling 25 that is relevant for the understanding of molecular pathways involved in cancer (Winkler et al., 2006).

Baculoviral IAP repeat-containing 5 (survivin) (BIRC5)

[0146] BIRC5 (Survivin) is a member of the inhibitor of apoptosis protein (IAP) family. Survivin is overexpressed in a 30 multitude of cancer entities. Thus, in general, overexpression of survivin is thought to be associated with shorter overall- survival and higher malignancy grades. [0147] Elevated levels of survivin have been reported from cancer stem cells isolated from GBM and astrocytoma (Jin et al., 2008). It is suggested that survivin overexpression in brain gliomas might play an important role in malignant proliferation, anti-apoptosis and angiogenesis (Zhen et al., 2005; Liu et al., 2006). Several analyses were performed to 35 study survivin expression and its impact on survival in glioblastoma. To summarize, survivin expression, especially the simultaneous expression in nucleus and cytoplasm in astrocytic tumors was significantly associated with malignancy grade (with highest survivin expression in glioblastoma) and shorter overall survival times compared with patients who had survivin-negative tumors (Kajiwara et al., 2003; Saito et al., 2007; Uematsu et al., 2005; Mellai et al., 2008; Grunda et al., 2006; Xie et al., 2006; Sasaki et al., 2002b; Chakravarti et al., 2002). Additionally, Survivin expression was 40 significantly increased in recurrent GBM compared with newly diagnosed tumors (Guvenc et al., 2013). As survivin is such a promising target for cancer therapy, studies using survivin-derived peptides showed that survivin is immunogenic in tumor patients by eliciting CD8+ T cell-mediated responses. In addition, surviving specifically stimulated CD4+ T-cell reactivity in peripheral blood lymphocytes from the same patients (Casati et al., 2003; Piesche et al., 2007).

45 Transmembrane protein 255A (TMEM255A)

[0148] The TMEM255A gene (alias FAM70A) was located on chromosome Xq24 (Ross et al., 2005). The function of TMEM255A is still unknown. But the chromosome Xq24, were TMEM255A was mapped, is also the location for some cancer/testis (CT) genes, which are expressed in some tumors (Chen et al., 2006). Furthermore, in 80% of HER2- 50 positive breast tumors deletion at Xq24 was observed, covering both previously known genes as well as novel genes in relation to cancer (Tina et al., 2012).

ST8 alpha-N-acetyl-neuraminide alpha-2,8-sialyltransferase 5 (ST8SIA5)

55 [0149] By screening a human brain cDNA library with a DNA probe generated from the cDNA sequence of mouse Siat8e, followed by 5-prime RACE of mRNA from human brain tissue, Kim et al. (1997) cloned human SIAT8E (alpha- 2,8-sialyltransferase V, ST8SIA5). Northern blot analysis detected expression of 11- and 2.5-kb transcripts in fetal and adult brain (Kim et al., 1997). ST8SIA5 is a type II membrane protein that may be present in the Golgi apparatus. The

27 EP 3 539 979 A2

encoded protein, which is a member of glycosyltransferase family 29, may be involved in the synthesis of gangliosides GD1c, GT1a, GQ1b, and GT3 from GD1a, GT1b, GM1b, and GD3, respectively (Kim et al., 1997). Gangliosides play an important role in neuronal differentiation processes. The regulation of ganglioside levels is related to the induction of neuronal cell differentiation. Some results suggest that the ST8Sia5 gene increases ganglioside GQlb and improves 5 neuronal differentiation via the ERK1/2 MAP kinase pathway (Kwak et al., 2011).

Family with sequence similarity 120C (FAM120C)

[0150] Family with sequence similarity 120C is a protein in humans that is encoded by the FAM120C gene. FAM120C 10 encodes a potential transmembrane protein and lies in a region where mutations and deletions have been associated with intellectual disability and autism (Qiao et al., 2008). FAM120C seems to be expressed at low levels in several adult and fetal human tissues. It consists of 16 coding exons and maps to Xp11.22. The 5-prime end of the FAM120C gene lies within a CpG island (Holden and Raymond, 2003).

15 Fatty acid binding protein 7, brain (FABP7)

[0151] Fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs) are cytosolic 14-15 kDa proteins, which are supposed to be involved in fatty acid (FA) uptake, transport, and targeting. FABP7 is highly expressed in the developing brain and retina and its expression decreases significantly in the adult CNS (Godbout et al., 1998). Based on in vitro results, it has been suggested 20 that FABP7 is required for the establishment of the radial glial system of the developing brain (Mita et al., 2007). In normal brain FABP7 protein is barely detectable but shows moderate to strong nuclear and cytoplasmic expression in several GBMs. FABP7-transfected cells display 5-fold greater migration than control cells. Thus, the shorter overall survival associated with FABP7 overexpression especially in glioblastoma may be due to increased migration and invasion of tumor cells into the surrounding brain parenchyma (Liang et al., 2005). Further analysis of FABP7 distribution 25 in astrocytoma tumors indicates elevated levels of FABP7 in infiltrating regions of the tumors proposing an important role for FABP7 in driving the infiltration of malignant cells into adjacent brain tissues (Mita et al., 2007; De et al., 2012). The FABP7 promoter was shown to be hypomethylated consistent with its overexpression in GMB (Etcheverry et al., 2010).

30 Zinc finger protein 3 (ZNF3)

[0152] The ZNF family represents a large group of molecules which are involved in various aspects of transcriptional regulation. The ZNF3 gene was mapped to chromosome 7q22.1. Northern blot analysis of mRNA from cell lines of various tissue origins showed ubiquitous expression of a 3.5-kb transcript (Pannuti et al., 1988). Multiple mutations in 35 the zinc finger (ZNF) family genes, including ZNF3, were found in HNSCC (head and neck squamous cell carcinoma) tumors (Nichols et al., 2012; Nichols et al., 2012). In HRneg/Tneg breast cancer ZNF3 was identified as an outcome predictor regarding metastatic outcome of early stage (Yau et al., 2010).

Dedicator of cytokinesis 7 (DOCK7) 40 [0153] DOCK7 (Dedicator of cytokinesis 7), also known as Zir2, is a large ( ∼240 kDa) protein involved in intracellular signalling networks. It is a member of the DOCK-C subfamily of the DOCK family of guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) which function as activators of small G proteins. [0154] DOCK7 expression has been reported in neurons (Watabe-Uchida et al., 2006), (Yamauchi et al., 2008). DOCK7 45 functions as an essential and downstream regulator of receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE)-mediated cellular migration (Yamamoto et al., 2013). DOCK7 also functions as an intracellular substrate for ErbB2 to promote Schwann cell migration (Yamauchi et al., 2008). Furthermore, DOCK7 induces multiple axon formation when over- expressed and prevents axon formation when it is knocked down (Watabe-Uchida et al., 2006). DOCK7 interaction with TACC3 controls interkinetic nuclear migration and the genesis of neurons from radial glial progenitor cells (RGCs) during 50 cortical development (Yang et al., 2012b).

Uncharacterized LOC728392 (LOC728392)

[0155] LOC728392 is an uncharacterized protein located on chromosome 17p13.2 (Kim et al., 2006), (Zody et al., 55 2006). To this date, there was no further characterization of the protein LOC728392.

28 EP 3 539 979 A2

Praja ring finger 2, E3 ubiquitin protein ligase (PJA2)

[0156] PJA2 is a widely expressed RING (Really Interesting New Gene) protein. RING-finger proteins contain cysteine- rich, zinc-binding domains and are involved in the formation of macromolecular scaffolds important for transcriptional 5 repression and ubiquitination (Sasaki et al., 2002a). In nervous tissue, PJA2 is distributed mainly on the cytoplasmic side of the membranes constituting endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus, but also to the postsynaptic density region of axosomatic synapses (Nakayama et al., 1995). In human GBM samples, high protein and mRNA expression of PJA2 was detected, whereas expression in human astrocytomas was low. This suggests that PJA2 expression correlates with malignancy, which is based on the inhibition of the Hippo tumor suppressor pathway by accumulated 10 PJA2 (Lignitto et al., 2013).

HEAT repeat containing 1 (HEATR1)

[0157] Human HEATR1, also called UTP10, had been identified as an uncharacterized protein termed BAP28. Ze- 15 brafish embryos homozygous for a mutant bap28 allele display excess apoptosis primarily in the central nervous system (Azuma et al., 2006). Human HEATR1 (UTP10) was mapped to chromosome 1q43. Endogenous human UTP10 is clearly enriched in nucleloli as revealed by staining of HeLa cells with affinity-purified antibodies raised against recombinant protein. It has been suggested, that UTP10 binds to chromatin throughout the rDNA repeat (Prieto and McStay, 2007). 20 Glycoprotein M6B (GPM6B)

[0158] GPM6B belongs to a proteolipid protein family, which is expressed in neurons and in oligodendrocytes in the brain. The knowledge of the biological function of this protein family is sparse, but their expression in most brain regions 25 have led to the hypothesis that they are involved in cellular housekeeping functions such as membrane trafficking and cell-to-cellcommunication (Fjorback et al., 2009). Takentogether, GPM6B isthought to havea function inthe development of the nervous system (Mobius et al., 2008). GPM6B was firstly described as a brain specific protein expressed mainly in neurons and oligodendrocytes (Werner et al., 2001; Yan et al., 1993), but several recent studies demonstrate its broad distribution throughout many cell types and tissues (Charfi et al., 2011). GPM6B expression has been described in some 30 tumor entities. For example, it is expected to be B leukemia-specific and showed significant overexpression in these tumors (Charfi et al., 2011). In ovarian cancer, GPM6B is detectable from patients serum and is among the most promising candidates for an early stage marker (Urban et al., 2011).

Crumbs homolog 1 (Drosophila) (CRB1) 35 [0159] The CRB1 gene encodes a protein which is similar to the Drosophila crumbs protein and localizes to the inner segment of mammalian photoreceptors. CRB1 mapped to Iq31-q32.1, a region harboring a gene involved in a severe form of autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa (den Hollander et al., 1999). Pellikka et al. (2002) showed that CRB1 localizes to corresponding subdomains of the photoreceptor apical plasma membrane (Pellikka et al., 2002). CRB1 may 40 organize an intracellular protein scaffold in the human retina (den Hollander et al., 2001). Mutations in the CRB1 gene are associated with a severe form of retinitis pigmentosa, RP12, and with Leber congenital amaurosis ; (Coppieters et al., 2010); (Walia et al., 2010); (van de Pavert et al., 2007). Jacobson et al. (2003) suggested that the CRB1 disease pathway disturbs the development of normal human retinal organization by interrupting naturally occurring apoptosis (Jacobson et al., 2003). 45 Oligodendrocyte lineage transcription factor 2 (OLIG2)

[0160] Oligodendrocyte lineage transcription factor 2 (OLIG2) is a member of the OLIG family of basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors. It plays a key role in the cell fate specification of oligodendrocytes and motor neurons in the dorsal 50 spinal cord during development (Lu et al., 2000), (Takebayashi et al., 2000). OLIG2 is a universal marker of diffuse gliomas (oligodendroglioma, astrocytoma, glioblastoma, and mixed glioma) (Lu et al., 2001), (Marie et al., 2001). Olig2 is strictly required to maintain the malignancy of oligodendroglioma cells, since its silencing by interfering RNA abrogates tumor propagation (Appolloni et al., 2012). It has been proposed that OLIG2 transcript level may correlate with malignant progression of astrocytoma (Bozinov et al., 2008). Furthermore, OLIG2-positive glioma-initiating cells were proposed 55 as therapeutic target (Fu et al., 2013). Recent studies have identified stem cells in brain cancer. In this study they observe expression of the CNS-restricted transcription factor, OLIG2, in human glioma stem and progenitor cells reminiscent of type C transit-amplifying cells in germinal zones of the adult brain. These findings identify an Olig2-regulated lineage- restricted pathway critical for proliferation of normal and tumorigenic CNS stem cells (Ligon et al., 2007).

Versican (VCAN)

[0161] VCAN gene is a member of the aggrecan/versican proteoglycan family. The protein encoded is a large chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan and is a major component of the extracellular matrix. This protein is involved in cell adhesion, 5 proliferation, migration and angiogenesis and plays a central role in tissue morphogenesis and maintenance. [0162] VCAN is expressed in a variety of tissues. It is highly expressed in the early stages of tissue development, and its expression decreases after tissue maturation. Its expression is also elevated during wound repair and tumor growth. In the adult human brain, VCAN is expressed mainly in the white matter of the frontal lobe, cerebellum, brainstem, and spinal cord, in close association with astrocytes and oligodendrocytes (Ghosh et al., 2010). VCAN has been found in 10 many malignancies including melanomas and prostate and in multiple human cancers its isoforms has been shown a differential expression (Ghosh et al., 2010; Zheng et al., 2004). A higher VCAN expression in tumor tissue than in the surrounding normal tissues was observed analysing three high-grade human brain tumors (Zheng et al., 2004).

Spermine oxidase (SMOX) 15 [0163] SMOX is an inducible FAD-dependent polyamine oxidase, which oxidizes spermine, to produce spermidine,

H2O2, and 3-aminopropanal (Wang et al., 2001). SMOX is located on chromosome 20p13 and encodes for several splice variants (Murray-Stewart et al., 2002). SMOX is a highly inducible enzyme, its deregulation can alter polyamine homeostasis, and dysregulation of polyamine catabolism is often associated with several disease states. SMOX participates 20 in drug response, apoptosis, response to stressful stimuli and etiology of several pathological conditions, including cancer (Cervelli et al., 2012). Elevated cellular polyamine levels are a common feature of cancer cells, including GBM cells, and the polyamine pathway has been explored as a potential therapeutic target to inhibit polyamine biosynthesis or activate polyamine catabolism inhibitor (Jiang et al., 2007).

25 Exocyst complex component 7 (EXOC7)

[0164] EXOC7 is a component of the exocyst, which is an evolutionarily conserved octameric protein complex essential for exocytosis (Kee et al., 1997). The exocyst targets secretory vesicles at specific domains of the plasma membrane for cell surface expansion and protein secretion (Zuo et al., 2006). By analysis of a human-rodent hybrid panel, Kikuno 30 et al. (1999) mapped the EXOC7 gene to chromosome 17q25 (Kikuno et al., 1999). The exocyst is involved in vesicle trafficking, specifically the tethering and spatial targeting of post-Golgi vesicles to the plasma membrane prior to vesicle fusion. It is implicated in a number of cell processes, including exocytosis and also cell migration and growth (Zuo et al., 2006). The exocyst plays important roles in cell invasion by mediating the secretion of MMPs at focal degrading sites and regulating actin dynamic (Liu et al., 2009). A set of 14 genes, including EXOC7, might be an outcome predictor in 35 early stage hormone receptor-negative and triple-negative breast cancer (Yau et al., 2010).

Leucine zipper, putative tumor suppressor 1 (LZTS1)

[0165] The FEZ1/LZTS1 gene was identified as a candidate tumor suppressor gene at 8p22 by Ishii et al in 1999 (Ishii 40 et al., 1999). LZTS1 has been shown to regulate growth of human tumor cell lines and physically interacts with cell-cycle regulators in that context (Cabeza-Arvelaiz et al., 2001); (Ishii et al., 2001); (Vecchione et al., 2002). Introduction of LZTS1 into LZTS1-negative cancer cells resulted in suppression of tumorigenicity and reduced cell growth with accumulation of cells at the late S-G2/M stage of the cell cycle (Ishii et al., 2001). The FEZ1/LZTS1 (FEZ1) gene is frequently altered in human cancer, including prostate (Hawkins et al., 2002), lung (Lin et al., 2013), bladder (Abraham et al., 2007) 45 and breast (Chen et al., 2009) cancer. Frequent reduction in expression and infrequent mutations were reported. Hy- permethylation of a CpG island in the LZTS1 promoter appeared to be frequent and could be responsible for the reduced expression of LZTS1 in cancer cells (Toyooka et al., 2002), (Vecchione et al., 2001).

Fatty acid desaturase 2 (FADS2) 50 [0166] Fatty acid desaturase 2 (FADS2) also known as delta(6) fatty acid desaturase (D6D) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the FADS2 gene. Fatty acid desaturase 2 is a member of the fatty acid desaturase (FADS) gene family. Marquardt et al. (2000) identified the FADS2 gene on chromosome 11q12-q13.1 (Marquardt et al., 2000). FADS2 is the rate-limiting enzyme in mammalian synthesis of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (Nwankwo et al., 2003). 55 FADS2 function loss at the cancer hotspot 11q13 locus diverts lipid signaling precursor synthesis to unusual eicosanoid fatty acids (Park et al., 2011). FADS2 is upregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma (Muir et al., 2013). FADS2 may be involved in the pathogenesis of breast cancer (Pender-Cudlip et al., 2013) and the expression of delta-6-desaturase is associated with aggressiveness of breast cancer (Lane et al., 2003). Furthermore, inhibiting delta-6 desaturase activity

30 EP 3 539 979 A2

suppresses tumor growth in mice (He et al., 2012).

Transmembrane protein 231 (TMEM231)

5 [0167] TMEM231 encodes a transmembrane protein, which is a component of the B9 complex involved in the formation of the diffusion barrier between the cilia and plasma membrane. TMEM231 localizes to the basal body before and independently of intraflagellar transport in a Septin 2 (Sept2)-regulated fashion (Chih et al., 2012). Mutations in TMEM231 cause several ciliopathies. These are multiorgan system disorders caused by dysfunction of the primary cilium, a cytoskeletal appendage which plays essential roles in cellular homeostasis and organ development (Nigg and Raff, 2009; 10 Hildebrandt et al., 2011). Very recently, compound heterozygosity for two mutations in TMEM231 was identified in three patients with Joubert syndrome, a predominantly autosomal recessive disorder characterised by a distinctive midhind- brain malformation, oculomotor apraxia, breathing abnormalities and developmental delay. JBTS is genetically heterogeneous, involving genesrequired for formation and functionof non-motile cilia (Parisi and Glass,1993; Srour etal., 2012).

15 Achaete-scute complex homolog 1 (Drosophila) (ASCL1)

[0168] Achaete-scute homolog-1 ASCL1 (also termed hASH1 in humans) is a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor important in early development of neural and neuroendocrine (NE) progenitor cells in multiple tissues including the CNS, autonomic nervous system, adrenal medulla, thyroid, lung, and prostate, among others (Guillemot et al., 1993; Borges 20 et al., 1997; Fode et al., 2000; Ball, 2004; Nakada et al., 2004; Pattyn et al., 2006; Miki et al., 2012; Righi et al., 2012). As it is crucial for early development of the sympathetic nervous system, it is transiently expressed in sympathetic neuroblasts during embryogenesis (Soderholm et al., 1999). Furthermore, ASCL1 is expressed in immature olfactory neurons and is required for their development (Carney et al., 1995). ASCL1 is essential for the maintenance and in vivo tumorigenicity of GBM CSCs (Rheinbay et al., 2013). An efficient generation of induced neuronal (iN) cells from glioma 25 cells could be achieved by the infection with three transcription factors: Ascl1, Brn2 and Ngn2 (ABN). This causes glioma cell death, decreased tumor growth and conversion of human glioma cells to functional neurons (Zhao et al., 2012b). ASCL1 upregulation in progressive astrocytoma is accompanied by inhibition of Notch signaling (Somasundaram et al., 2005). ASCL1 is expressed in a majority of primary neuroblastomas and neuroblastoma cell lines (Axelson, 2004). During neuroblastoma differentiation, the ASCL1-pathway is responsible for the up-regulation of IGF2 (Li et al., 2011b). 30 Na+/K+transporting ATPase interacting 1 (NKAIN1) / Na+/K+ transporting ATPase interacting 2 (NKAIN2) / Na+/K+ transporting ATPase interacting 4 (NKAIN4)

[0169] NKAIN proteins 1-4 are a family of evolutionary conserved transmembrane proteins that localize to neurons 35 and interact with the Na,K-ATPase β1 subunit. There are three splice variants of NKAIN2, 3 and 4, whereas only a single form of NKAIN1 was found. All four family members are highly expressed in mouse brain with distinct and overlapping expression in different brain regions. Interestingly, a short splice variant of NKAIN4 is brain- and testis-specific, whereas a longer splice variant of NKAIN4 is expressed ubiquitously (Gorokhova et al., 2007). The genomic region NKAIN1- SERINC2 harbors SNPs, which are causally associated with alcohol dependence in Europeans (Zuo et al., 2013). 40 Disruption of the NKAIN2 gene has been implicated in neurological disorders, e.g. in a child with developmental delay and recurrent infections (Bocciardi et al., 2005; Yue et al., 2006). In addition, SNPs in NKAIN2 have been associated with neuroticism (Calboli et al., 2010) and alcohol dependence (Wang et al., 2011b). Human NKAIN2 was identified first as gene, which is disrupted within the breakpoint region 6q21-22 in the T-cell lymphoma/leukemia cell lines HT-1 and ATN-1 (Tagawa et al., 2002). It may also be a candidate tumor suppressor gene in prostate cancer, although no functional 45 experimental data are available for that idea (Mao et al., 2011).

Protocadherin gamma family (PCDHG-Family)

[0170] The protocadherins (PCDH) are a subgroup of cadherins, which are predominantly expressed in the central 50 nervous system (Kallenbach et al., 2003; Hirayama and Yagi, 2006). The gamma gene cluster (PCDHG-) includes 22 genes divided into 3 subfamilies. The gamma gene cluster is organized similar to an immunoglobulin cluster: 22 variable exons, which encode the ectodomain (cadherin repeats, transmembrane and proximal intracellular domain), and 3 constant exons, which encode the common distal moiety of the cytoplasmic domain, are joined by RNA splicing (Morishita and Yagi, 2007; Wang et al., 2002). PCDHs are involved in developmental tissue morphogenesis and in synapse 55 formation and modulation (Frank and Kemler, 2002) and the production of cerebrospinal fluid in the postnatal brain (Lobas et al., 2012). It was shown that several PCDHGs interact with the intracellular adaptor protein PDCD10 (programmed cell death 10), which mediates apoptosis in neurons (Lin et al., 2010a). Agglomerative epigenetic aberrations -for example of the protocadherin gene family clusters on chromosome 5 (PCDHA, PCDHB, and PCDHG)- are a common

31 EP 3 539 979 A2

event in human breast cancer (Novak et al., 2008).

Rho GTPase activating protein 21 (ARHGAP21)

5 [0171] ARHGAP21 functions preferentially as a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) for CDC42 and regulates the ARP2/3 complex and F-actin dynamics at the Golgi through control of CDC42 activity (Dubois et al., 2005). Several Rho GTPase- activating proteins (RhoGAPs) are implicated in tumor progression through their effects on Rho GTPase activity. ARHGAP21 is a RhoGAP with increased expression in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and with a possible role in glioblastoma tumor progression (Lazarini et al., 2013). ARHGAP21 modulate cell migration through the control 10 of Cdc42 and FAK activities (Bigarella et al., 2012). ARHGAP21 is expressed in the nuclear and perinuclear regions of several glioblastoma derived cell lines. ARHGAP21 might act as a tumor suppressor gene and might be a master regulator of migration having a crucial role in controlling the progression of different tumor types (Bigarella et al., 2009).

Paraneoplastic Ma antigen 2 (PNMA2) 15 [0172] Human PNMA2 encodes the paraneoplastic antigen Ma2 which belongs to the human PNMA family (Schuller et al., 2005). In healthy persons, PNMA2 expression is restricted to neuronal tissue. In the CNS, neuronal cells show discrete subnuclear and cytoplasmic immunostaining (Gultekin et al., 2000; Voltz et al., 1999). In cancer tissue, PNMA2 expression has been shown for testicular cancer (Voltz et al., 1999; Leja et al., 2009), breast cancer (Sahashi et al., 20 2003), lung cancer (Barnett et al., 2001), small intestine neuroendocrine tumors and liver metastasis (Leja et al., 2009). PNMA2 was identified as novel marker gene for neuroendocrine carcinoma cells (Leja et al., 2009). Patients with PNMA2- positive tumors may develop anti-PNMA2 antibodies, which induce neurological degenerative syndromes, such as paraneoplastic encephalitis (PNE) (Sahashi et al., 2003). As the neurological symptoms of PNE strongly affect the patient’s condition and may be fatal (Barnett et al., 2001), cancer treatment should be forced in such patients (Kraker, 25 2009).

Adenomatous polyposis coli (APC)

[0173] Adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) also known as deleted in polyposis 2.5 (DP2.5) is a protein that in humans 30 is encoded by the APC gene. The APC protein plays a critical role in several cellular processes that determine whether a cell may develop into a tumor. The APC protein helps control how often a cell divides, how it attaches to other cells within a tissue, or whether a cell moves within or away from a tissue. APC is a key tumor suppressor gene that acts as agatekeeper ofintestinal epithelial homeostasis by restraining cytoplasmic cellular levels of β-catenin, thecentral activator of transcription in the Wnt signaling pathway (Minde et al., 2011). Mutations in the human APC gene are linked to familial 35 adenomatous polyposis and to the progression of sporadic colorectal and gastric tumors (Rubinfeld et al., 1993). APC gene is also a candidate susceptibility gene for attenuated polypotic syndromes (Zhou et al., 2001). The association between brain tumors and multiple colorectal adenomas can result from two distinct types of germ-line defects: mutation of the APC gene or mutation of a mismatch-repair gene (Hamilton et al., 1995).

40 Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome-like (WASL)

[0174] Neural Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the WASL gene. The Wiskott- Aldrich syndrome (WAS) family of proteins share similar domain structure, and are involved in transduction of signals from receptors on the cell surface to the actin cytoskeleton (Kovacs et al., 2011). WASL associates with Cdc42, known 45 to regulate formation of actin filaments, and the cytoskeletal organizing complex Arp2/3 and is ubiquitously expressed and shows highest expression in neural tissues (Kovacs et al., 2011). WASL and the arp2/3 complex are critical regulators of actin in the development of dendritic spines and synapses (Wegner et al., 2008). The Arp2/3 complex with the associated protein WASL mediates multigeneration dendritic protrusions for efficient 3-dimensional cancer cell migration (Giri et al., 2013). WASL is involved in the metastasis of human breast cancer (Escudero-Esparza et al., 2012) and in 50 primary brain tumors (Khalil and E1-Sibai, 2012). [0175] Solute carrier family 1 (glial high affinity glutamate transporter), member 3(SLC1A3) / solute carrier family 1 (high affinity aspartate/glutamate transporter), member 6(SLC1A6) SLC1A3 encodes a member of a member of a high affinity glutamate transporter family. SLC1A3 is also often called the GLutamate ASpartate Transporter (GLAST) or Excitatory Amino Acid Transporter 1 (EAAT1). GLAST is predominantly expressed in the plasma membrane, 55 allowing it to remove glutamate from the extracellular space (Langley et al., 2009). Various acute and chronic brain diseases result in disturbed expression of the glial glutamate transporters, GLAST/EAAT-1 and GLT-1/EAAT-2, and subsequent secondary neuronal cell death (Unger et al., 2012). The expression of glutamate transporters (GLT-1 and GLAST) in astrocytes and microglia are differentially regulated following nerve injury (Xin et al., 2009). Autoantigen

specific T cells inhibit glutamate uptake in astrocytes by decreasing expression of astrocytic glutamate transporter GLAST (Korn et al., 2005). SLC1A3 might be associated with glioma cell motility (Tatenhorst et al., 2004). Inhibition of glutamate transporter enhances the therapeutic efficacy of doxorubicin (Sugiyama et al., 2001). [0176] The glutamate transporter gene SLC1A6 encodes the glutamate transporter EAAT4. It is thought, that at least 5 one susceptibility locus for schizophrenia may be located within or nearby SLC1A6 in the Japanese population (Deng et al., 2007). Furthermore, it is localized neuronal in the mammalian central nervous system (Jackson et al., 2001) and expressed predominantly in the cerebellum (Need et al., 2009).

Teneurin transmembrane protein 4 (TENM4) 10 [0177] Teneurin-4 (Ten-4/Odz4) is a type II transmembrane protein that is highly expressed in the CNS. Ten-4 is also expressed in developing eyes and somites, as well as in tail bud and limbs (Tucker and Chiquet-Ehrismann, 2006); (Kenzelmann-Broz et al., 2010). Ten-4 expression is induced in response to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress (Wang et al., 1998), and an involvement of Ten-4 has been suggested in mouse gastrulation (Lossie et al., 2005) and bipolar 15 disorder in humans (2011). However, the biological function of Ten-4 remains unknown. Some findings suggest that teneurin-4 is a novel regulator of oligodendrocyte differentiation and that it plays a critical role in the myelination of smal l- diameter axons in the CNS (Suzuki et al., 2012).

Zinc finger protein 749 (ZNF749) 20 [0178] ZNF749 was mapped on chromosome 19q13.43 (Grimwood et al., 2004), (Tsuritani et al., 2007). This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants). To date, the ZNF749 has not been characterized and the function of this gene is unknown.

25 EF-hand calcium binding domain 7 (EFCAB7)

[0179] EFCAB7 was mapped on chromosome 1p31.3 (Mehrle et al., 2006), (Wiemann et al., 2004). EFCAB7 is an uncharacterized protein with unknown biological function.

30 Bone morphogenetic protein 7 (BMP7)

[0180] BMP7/OP-1 belongs together with other BMPs to the transforming growth factor (TGF)β family. BMP7 is a very pleiotropic growth factor. Bone morphogenic proteins (BMPs) play a key role in bone formation. In recent years, recombinant BMPs, particularly BMP2 and BMP7/OP-1, have been used therapeutically in patients with large bone 35 defects or delayed or impaired fracture healing, with the notion that locally applied BMP would promote bone repair (Geesink et al., 1999), (Donati et al., 2008), (Zimmermann et al., 2006), (Garrison et al., 2010). BMP-7 belongs to the superfamily of transforming growth factorβ -like cytokines, which can act either as tumor suppressors or as tumor promoters depending on cell type and differentiation. BMP7 expression have been reported to be involved in the growth of several cancer cells, such as osteosarcoma, malignant melanoma, prostate cancer, breast cancer, renal cell cancer, 40 colorectal cancer, and gastric cancer, causing increased aggression or suppression (Motoyama et al., 2008), (Kwak et al., 2007), (Sulzbacher et al., 2002), (Rothhammer et al., 2007), (Masuda et al., 2004), (Alarmo et al., 2006). Endogenous neural precursor cells protect the young brain from glioblastoma by releasing BMP7, which acts as a paracrine tumor suppressor that represses proliferation, self-renewal and tumor-initiation of stem-like glioblastoma cells (Chirasani et al., 2010). 45 Integrin, alpha 7 (ITGA7)

[0181] Integrins are heterodimeric proteins, which mediate interactions between cells and ECM or other cells. ITGA7 encodes the integrin alpha 7, which forms a heterodimer with the integrin beta 1 chain (Vignier et al., 1999). The beta 50 1 chain interacts with the cytoskeletal component α-actinin, thus ensuring signaling between the cytoskeleton and the basal lamina (Otey et al., 1990). ITGA7 is mainly and abundantly expressed in skeletal and cardiac muscle (Pegoraro et al., 2002; Leung et al., 1998). In human, mutation, deletion or reduced expression of ITGA7 is strongly correlated with muscular dystrophy and myopathy (Pegoraro et al., 2002; Hayashi et al., 1998). ITGA7 was associated with malignant transformation in melanoma (Kramer et al., 1991b; Kramer et al., 1991a; Kramer et al., 1989). In line with this, enhanced 55 ITGA7 expression in squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue suggested ITGA7 as a potential marker of metastases (Carinci et al., 2005). Some results suggest that blocking of ITGA7 may be an important step during carcinogenesis. However, the authors noted that the role of ITGA7 in tumor growth remains unclear and may depend on the cell type involved (Ren et al., 2007).

33 EP 3 539 979 A2

Ribosomal protein L7a (RPL7A)

[0182] Cytoplasmic ribosomes, organelles that catalyze protein synthesis, consist of a small 40S subunit and a large 60S subunit. The RPL7A gene encodes a ribosomal protein that is a component of the 60S subunit. Many ribosomal 5 proteins, particularly those of the large subunit, including ribosomal protein L7a (RPL7a), are composed of a globular surface-exposed RNA-binding domain that binds to the rRNA core to stabilize its structure. Although the critical activities of decoding and peptide transfer are rRNA-based, ribosomal proteins also play an important role in the process of protein synthesis (Wool, 1996). RPL7a plays a critical role in stabilizing ribosomes by binding to rRNA (De et al., 1993; Huxley and Fried, 1990). In addition to its function in the ribosome, RPL7a may also be involved in cell growth and differentiation 10 by interacting with human thyroid hormone receptor (THR) and retinoic acid receptor (RAR) and in turn inhibiting the activities of the two nuclear hormone receptors (Burris et al., 1995). In osteosarcoma, RPL7a mRNA and protein expression was significantly down-regulated compared with samples from normal bone and benign bone lesion tissues and low RPL7A mRNA expression was a significant poor prognostic indicator for overall survival in patients with high grade lesion developed lung metastasis at the time of diagnosis of the primary osteosarcoma (Zheng et al., 2009). On 15 the other hand, RPL7a is reported to be up-regulated in colorectal cancer (Wang et al., 2000). An overexpression of RPL7a mRNA was also confirmed in prostate-cancer tissue samples by in situ hybridization (Vaarala et al., 1998). Furthermore, ribosomal proteins L7a might be associated with malignant brain tumor formation (Kroes et al., 2000).

Heparan sulfate 2-O-sulfotransferase 1 (HS2ST1) 20 [0183] Heparan sulfate 2-O-sulfotransferase 1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the HS2ST1 gene. Heparan sulfate biosynthetic enzymes are key components in generating a myriad of distinct heparan sulfate fine structures that carry out multiple biologic activities. HS2ST1 transfer sulfate to the 2 position of the iduronic acid residue of heparan sulfate. The disruption of the HS2ST1 gene resulted in no kidney formation in knockout embryonic mice, indicating that 25 the absence of this enzyme may interfere with the signaling required for kidney formation (Seki et al., 1997). HS2ST1 is involved in prostate cancer cell proliferation, invasion, and growth factor signalling (Ferguson and Datta, 2011). Increased gene expression of HS2ST1 in malignant compared to normal plasma cells was associated with a good prognosis (Bret et al., 2009).

30 Vimentin (VIM)

[0184] Vimentin, a major constituent of the intermediate filament (IF) family of proteins, is ubiquitously expressed in normal mesenchymal cells and is known to maintain cellular integrity and provide resistance against stress (Schietke et al., 2006). In recent years, vimentin has been recognized as a marker for epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) 35 (Thomson et al., 2005). Various reports show that vimentin plays an important role in cell migration (Eckes et al., 1998), (Eckes et al., 2000), (Kang and Massague, 2004). Vimentin has also been indicated in regulation of cell survival, cell adhesion and lipid transport (Sarria et al., 1992), (McInroy and Maatta, 2007), (Mendez et al., 2010). Increased vimentin expression has been reported in various tumor cell lines and tissues including prostate cancer, breast cancer, endometrial cancer, CNS tumors, malignant melanoma and gastrointestinal tumors including pancreatic, colorectal and hepatic 40 cancers.Vimentin’s overexpression in cancer correlates wellwith accelerated tumor growth, invasion, and poor prognosis. [0185] Vimentin has been used as a molecular marker for GBM and astrocytomas (Shiras et al., 2003), (Yang et al., 1994). Further, a novel cell-penetrating peptide derived from the intermediate filament protein vimentin, called Vim- TBS.58-81 has recently been described. The authors show that it enters cells from a glioblastoma line via endocytosis where it distributes throughout the cytoplasm and nucleus (Balzeau et al., 2012). 45 Intraflagellar transport 172 homolog (Chlamydomonas) (IFT172)

[0186] IFT172, also known as Selective Lim-domain Binding protein (SLB), is a component of the Intraflagellar Trans- port (IFT) complex. Mutations that affect components of the IFT machinery are known to compromise the formation and 50 function of cilia. Cilia play essential roles in the differentiation and survival of olfactory and retinal neurons and auditory hair cells (Scholey and Anderson, 2006). IFT172, a complex B subunit, plays an essential role in the flagellar entry of IFT-dynein (Williamson et al., 2012). Further, IFT172 is potentially required for early regulation of FGF8 at the midbrain- hindbrain boundary and maintenance of the isthmic organizer (Gorivodsky et al., 2009).

55 Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) A receptor, beta 1 (GABRB1) / gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) A receptor, beta 3 (GABRB3)

[0187] Gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit beta-1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GABRB1

34 EP 3 539 979 A2

gene. The gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) A receptor is a multisubunit chloride channel that mediates the fastest inhibitory synaptic transmission in the central nervous system. This gene encodes GABA A receptor, beta 1 subunit. It is mapped to chromosome 4p12 in a cluster of genes encoding alpha 4, alpha 2 and gamma 1 subunits of the GABA A receptor. Alteration of this gene is implicated in the pathogenetics of schizophrenia (Vasquez et al., 2013). Gamma- 5 aminobutyric acid receptor subunit beta-3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GABRB3 gene. This gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 15 in a cluster with two genes encoding related subunits of the family. Mutations in this gene may be associated with the pathogenesis of Angelman syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome, and autism (Nurmi et al., 2003).

10 Cell division cycle associated 7-like (CDCA7L)

[0188] Cell division cycle-associated 7-like protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CDCA7L gene (Ou et al., 2006). CDCA7L shows nuclear colocalization with c-Myc, and interacts with c-Myc both in vitro and in mammalian cells (Huang et al., 2005). CDCA7L inhibited the MAOA promot er and MAOA enzymatic activity and acted as a repressor 15 in apoptotic signaling pathways (Ou et al., 2006). CDCA7L is a Myc interactor associated with metastatic medulloblastoma (Zhou et al., 2010).

Signal sequence receptor, alpha (SSR1)

20 [0189] Translocon-associated protein subunit alpha is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SSR1 gene. The signal sequence receptor (SSR) is a glycosylated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane receptor associated with protein translocation across the ER membrane. The SSR consists of 2 subunits, a 34-kD glycoprotein encoded by this gene and a 22-kD glycoprotein (Hirama et al., 1999). SSR1 was detected in 50% of medulloblastomas and in 78% of primitive neuroectodermal tumors (Johnson et al., 2013). 25 Nuclear receptor subfamily 0, group B, member 1 (NR0B1)

[0190] NR0B1 (also called dosage-sensitive sex reversal/adrenal hypoplasia congenital critical region on the X chromosome 1; DAX1) acts as a negative regulator of steroid production, and is expressed in the reproductive and endocrine 30 systems (Niakan and McCabe, 2005). NR0B1 is highly expressed in several kinds of cancers, such as endometrial carcinoma (Saito et al., 2005), ovarian carcinoma (Abd-Elaziz et al., 2003), prostatic carcinoma (Nakamura et al., 2009), and Ewing’s sarcoma (Mendiola et al., 2006; Camoes et al., 2012; Kinsey et al., 2006). In lung adenocarcinoma, higher levels of NR0B1 expression correlated with higher rates of lymph node metastasis and recurrence (Oda et al., 2009).

35 Ligand of numb-protein X 1, E3 ubiquitin protein ligase (LNX1)

[0191] E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase LNX is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the LNX1 gene. Studies have approved that LNX1 could participate in signal transduction, such as Notch pathway, and play an important role in tumorigenesis. Some results suggested that downregulation of LNX1 could result in cell cycle arrest in G0/G1 phase 40 through inhibition of β-catenin, MAPK, NFκB, c-Myc-dependent pathway and activation of p53, TGF- β-dependent pathway (Zheng et al., 2011). Gene sequence alterations and amplifications of LNX1 are present in a subset of human gliomas (Blom et al., 2008; Holtkamp et al., 2007). Human LNX1 was downregulated in gliomas including low- and high- grade ones (Chen et al., 2005).

45 E1A binding protein p400 (EP400)

[0192] E1A-binding protein p400 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EP400 gene. p400 is a mediator of E1A-induced downregulation of epidermal growth factor receptor and of apoptosis (Flinterman et al., 2007; Samuelson et al., 2005). Mutations in the EP400 Gene were described for near haploid lymphoblastic leukemia patients (Chen et 50 al., 2013a). Further, a genome-wide siRNA screen identified EP400 as a regulator of human papillomavirus oncogene expression (Smith et al., 2010). The p400/Tip60 ratio is critical for colon cancer cells proliferation and response to therapeutic drugs through the control of stress-response pathways (Mattera et al., 2009).

Kinesin family member 1B (KIF1B) 55 [0193] The KIF1B gene on 1p36, a region commonly deleted in neural crest cancers, was found to be a proapoptotic factor for sympathetic precursors. KIF1B beta mutations were detected in pheochromocytomas and neuroblastomas, two sympathetic lineage tumors, suggesting a role for this gene in cancer (Yeh et al., 2008). The KIF1B-related pathway

35 EP 3 539 979 A2

might be involved in the pathogenesis of hepatitis B virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma (Casper et al., 2011). KIF1B is down-regulated in high stage neuroblastomas (Caren et al., 2005; Ohira et al., 2000; Nagai et al., 2000). Cell surface localization of MT1-MMP is dependent on KIF1B, which consequently plays a critical role in gastric cancer invasion (Dong et al., 2013). KIF1B is associated with pheochromocytomas, a neuroendocrine tumor (Galan and Kann, 2013). 5 Rho-related BTB domain containing 3 (RHOBTB3)

[0194] Rho-related BTB domain-containing protein 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RHOBTB3 gene. RHOBTB3 is a member of the evolutionarily conserved RhoBTB subfamily of Rho GTPases (Rivero et al., 2001; Boureux 10 et al., 2007). RHOBTB genes are upregulated in some cancer cell lines, suggesting that these proteins might participate in tumorigenesis (Ramos et al., 2002). Berthold et al. (2008) also described a potential role of the RhoBTB subfamily in tumorigenesis (Berthold et al., 2008b). A decreased expression of RHOBTB and CUL3 genes in kidney and breast tumor samples was observed (Berthold et al., 2008a).

15 Kinesin family member 7 (KIF7)

[0195] The KIF7 gene encodes a cilia-associated protein belonging to the kinesin family. This protein plays a role in the sonic hedgehog (SHH) signaling pathway through the regulation of GLI transcription factors (Li et al., 2012b). It functions as a negative regulator of the SHH pathway by preventing inappropriate activation of GLI2 in the absence of 20 ligand, and as a positive regulator by preventing the processing of GLI3 into its repressor form. KIF7 is implicated in a variety of diseases including Joubert, hydrolethalus and acrocallosal syndromes. It is also involved in primary cilium formation and the Hedgehog signalling pathway and may play a role in cancer (Klejnot and Kozielski, 2012). Aberrant activation of Hedgehog signaling pathway leads to pathological consequences in a variety of human tumors, such as gastric cancer and pancreatic cancer. KIF7 is implicated in the Hedgehog signaling (Katoh and Katoh, 2005). 25 Mitogen-activated protein kinase 6 (MAPK6)

[0196] Mitogen-activated protein kinase 6 (MAPK6, also called ERK3) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MAPK6 gene. MAPK6 is a member of the Ser/Thr protein kinase family, and is most closely related to mitogen-activated 30 protein kinases (MAP kinases). There is an increase in ERK3 transcripts in oral cancer tissue compared to healthy tissue; colorectal cancer tissues had higher ERK3 expression levels that adjacent normal mucosa. Elevated ERK3 protein levels are also associated with gastric cancer. Increased ERK3 transcripts or protein levels have also been observed in breast cancer, melanoma and non-small cancer lung cells (Kostenko et al., 2012). Certain observations suggest that ERK3 may play some roles in tumor suppression, including its apparent negative regulatory effect on cell 35 cycle progression, cell proliferation, and migration (Cargnello and Roux, 2011).

Asp (abnormal spindle) homolog, microcephaly associated (Drosophila) (ASPM)

[0197] Abnormal spindle-like microcephaly associated (ASPM) is the human orthologue of the Drosophila abnormal 40 spindle (asp). ASPM have been implicated in spindle organization, spindle orientation, mitotic progression, and cytokinesis (Van et al., 2009); (Higgins et al., 2010). ASPM overexpression, like many Wnt-activating components, is associated with increased cell proliferation and tumor development, supporting a common effect on proliferation (Lin et al., 2008); (Bikeye et al., 2010); (Vulcani-Freitas et al., 2011). As overexpression of ASPM was observed in several tumor cells lines and reduction of ASPM levels inhibited cellular proliferation, most publications suggest ASPM as novel target in 45 cancer therapy. In glioblastoma multiforme, ASPM is highly overexpressed as compared to normal brain and other body tissues (Horvath et al., 2006). Several studies have found that ASPM expression levels have a strong positive correlation with the malignant phenotype and WHO grade of glioma, as ASPM was overexpressed in GBM as compared to astrocytomas and expression increased at recurrence (Bikeye et al., 2010; Bikeye et al., 2011; Hagemann et al., 2008; Marie et al., 2008). It was suggested that ASPM is involved in the malignant progression of glioma and represents an attractive 50 therapeutic target. ASPM expression negatively correlates with clinical outcome in GBM (Horvath et al., 2006; Visnyei et al., 2011).

Structural maintenance of chromosomes 4 (SMC4)

55 [0198] Structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) proteins are chromosomal ATPases, highly conserved from bacteria to humans, that play fundamental roles in many aspects of higher-order chromosome organization and dynamics (Losada and Hirano, 2005). The SMC4 protein is a core component of the condensin complex that plays a role in chromatin condensation and has also been associated with nucleolar segregation, DNA repair, and maintenance of the

36 EP 3 539 979 A2

chromatin scaffold (Cervantes et al., 2006). SMC2 and SMC4 function as the core of the condensin complexes that are essential for chromosome assembly and segregation (Losada and Hirano, 2005). RT-PCR studies on human cancer samples show that the RNA is expressed highly in many cancer cell lines and cancer specimens, including human breast cancers, prostate cancers, colon cancers, and pancreatic cancers (Egland et al., 2006). 5 Thioredoxin 2 (TXN2)

[0199] TXN2 encodes a mitochondrial member of the thioredoxin family, a group of small multifunctional redox-active proteins. The encoded protein may play important roles in the regulation of the mitochondrial membrane potential and 10 in protection against oxidant-induced apoptosis (Tanaka et al., 2002). TXN and TXN2 regulate the proliferation and survival of adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells, and these processes are mediated by the activation of ERK1/2 (Song et al., 2011). Because of its role in stimulating cancer cell growth and as an inhibitor of apoptosis, thioredoxin offers a target for the development of drugs to treat and prevent cancer. The protein TXN2 is linked to breast cancer (Seibold et al., 2011) and therefore the peptide SEQ ID No 99 is also useful in this indication. 15 [0200] The protein CSRP2 is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma (Midorikawa et al., 2002) and therefore the peptide SEQ ID No 1 is also useful in this indication.

[0215] The protein MAP1B is linked to neuroblastoma (Willoughby et al., 2008) and therefore the peptides SEQ ID 55 No 35 and No 47 is also useful in this indication. [0216] The protein ADORA3 is linked to prostate cancer (Jajoo et al., 2009), hepatocellular carcinoma (Bar-Yehuda et al., 2008), primary thyroid cancer (Morello et al., 2008), colon carcinoma (Gessi et al., 2004), bladder cancer (Kim et al., 2010) and therefore the peptide SEQ ID No 37 is also useful in this indication.

37 EP 3 539 979 A2

40 EP 3 539 979 A2

complexed with said HLA-restricted antigen; isolating mRNA molecules from antibody producing cells of said non-human mammal; producing a phage display library displaying protein molecules encoded by said mRNA molecules; and isolating at least one phage from said phage display library, said at least one phage displaying said antibody specifically bindable to said human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I or II being complexed with said HLA-restricted antigen. 5 [0272] Yet another aspect of the present invention relates to an antibody that specifically binds to a peptide according to the present invention, preferably that specifically binds to a human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I or II being complexed with the HLA-restricted antigen and/or the peptide according to the present invention, wherein the antibody preferably is a polyclonal antibody, monoclonal antibody and/or a chimeric antibody. [0273] The term "peptide" is used herein to designate a series of amino acid residues, connected one to the other 10 typically by peptide bonds between the alpha-amino and carbonyl groups of the adjacent amino acids. The peptides are preferably 9 amino acids in length, but can be as short as 8 amino acids in length, and as long as 10, 11, 12, 13 or 14 and in case of MHC class II peptides they can be as long as 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 or 23 amino acids in length. [0274] Furthermore, the term "peptide" shall include salts of a series of amino acid residues, connected one to the other typically by peptide bonds between the alpha-amino and carbonyl groups of the adjacent amino acids. Preferably 15 the salts are pharmaceutical acceptable salts. [0275] The term "peptide" shall also include "oligopeptide". The term "oligopeptide" is used herein to designate a series of amino acid residues, connected one to the other typically by peptide bonds between the alpha-amino and carbonyl groups of the adjacent amino acids. The length of the oligopeptide is not critical to the invention, as long as the correct epitope or epitopes are maintained therein. The oligopeptides are typically less than about 30 amino acid residues in 20 length, and greater than about 15 amino acids in length. [0276] The term "polypeptide" designates a series of amino acid residues, connected one to the other typically by peptide bonds between the alpha-amino and carbonyl groups of the adjacent amino acids. The length of the polypeptide is not critical to the invention as long as the correct epitopes are maintained. In contrast to the terms peptide or oligopepti de, the term polypeptide is meant to refer to molecules containing more than about 30 amino acid residues. 25 [0277] A peptide, oligopeptide, protein or polynucleotide coding for such a molecule is "immunogenic" (and thus is an "immunogen" within the present invention), if it is capable of inducing an immune response. In the case of the present invention, immunogenicity is more specifically defined as the ability to induce a T-cell response. Thus, an "immunogen" would be a molecule that is capable of inducing an immune response, and in the case of the present invention, a molecule capable of inducing a T-cell response. 30 [0278] A class I T cell "epitope" requires a short peptide that is bound to a class I MHC receptor, forming a ternary complex (MHC class I alpha chain, beta-2-microglobulin, and peptide) that can be recognized by a T cell bearing a matching T-cell receptor binding to the MHC/peptide complex with appropriate affinity. Peptides binding to MHC class I molecules are typically 8 to 14 amino acids in length, and most typically 9 amino acids in length. [0279] In humans there are three different genetic loci that encode MHC class I molecules (the MHC-molecules of the 35 human are also designated human leukocyte antigens (HLA)): HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-C. HLA-A*01, HLA-A*02, and HLA-B*07 are examples of different MHC class I alleles that can be expressed from these loci. [0280] For therapeutic and diagnostic purposes, a peptide that binds with appropriate affinity to several different HLA class II receptors is highly desirable. A peptide binding to several different HLA class II molecules is called a promiscuous binder. 40 [0281] As used herein, reference to a DNA sequence includes both single stranded and double stranded DNA. Thus, the specific sequence, unless the context indicates otherwise, refers to the single strand DNA of such sequence, the duplex of such sequence with its complement (double stranded DNA) and the complement of such sequence. The term "coding region" refers to that portion of a gene which either naturally or normally codes for the expression product of that gene in its natural genomic environment, i.e., the region coding in vivo for the native expression product of the gene. 45 [0282] The coding region can be from a non-mutated ("normal"), mutated or altered gene, or can even be from a DNA sequence, or gene, wholly synthesized in the laboratory using methods well known to those of skill in the art of DNA synthesis. [0283] The term "nucleotide sequence" refers to a heteropolymer of deoxyribonucleotides. [0284] The nucleotide sequence coding for a particular peptide, oligopeptide, or polypeptide may be naturally occurring 50 or they may be synthetically constructed. Generally, DNA segments encoding the peptides, polypeptides, and proteins of this invention are assembled from cDNA fragments and short oligonucleotide linkers, or from a series of oligonucleotides, to provide a synthetic gene that is capable of being expressed in a recombinant transcriptional unit comprising regulatory elements derived from a microbial or viral operon. [0285] As used herein the term "a nucleotide coding for a peptide" refers to a nucleotide sequence coding for the 55 peptide including artificial (man-made) start and stop codons compatible for the biological system the sequence is going to be expressed. [0286] The term "expression product" means the polypeptide or protein that is the natural translation product of the gene and any nucleic acid sequence coding equivalents resulting from genetic code degeneracy and thus coding for

41 EP 3 539 979 A2

the same amino acid(s). [0287] The term "fragment", when referring to a coding sequence, means a portion of DNA comprising less than the complete coding region, whose expression product retains essentially the same biological function or activity as the expression product of the complete coding region. 5 [0288] The term "DNA segment" refers to a DNA polymer, in the form of a separate fragment or as a component of a larger DNA construct, which has been derived from DNA isolated at least once in substantially pure form, i.e., free of contaminating endogenous materials and in a quantity or concentration enabling identification, manipulation, and recov- ery of the segment and its component nucleotide sequences by standard biochemical methods, for example, by using a cloning vector. Such segments are provided in the form of an open reading frame uninterrupted by internal non- 10 translated sequences, or introns, which are typically present in eukaryotic genes. [0289] Sequences of non-translated DNA may be present downstream from the open reading frame, where the same do not interfere with manipulation or expression of the coding regions. [0290] The term "primer" means a short nucleic acid sequence that can be paired with one strand of DNA and provides a free 3’OH end at which a DNA polymerase starts synthesis of a deoxyribonucleotide chain. 15 [0291] The term "promoter" means a region of DNA involved in binding of RNA polymerase to initiate transcription. [0292] The term "isolated" means that the material is removed from its original environment (e.g., the natural environment if it is naturally occurring). For example, a naturally-occurring polynucleotide or polypeptide present in a living animal is not isolated, but the same polynucleotide or polypeptide, separated from some or all of the coexisting materials in the natural system, is isolated. Such polynucleotides could be part of a vector and/or such polynucleotides or polypep- 20 tides could be part of a composition, and still be isolated in that such vector or composition is not part of its natural environment. [0293] The polynucleotides, and recombinant or immunogenic polypeptides, disclosed in accordance with the present invention may also be in "purified" form. The term "purified" does not require absolute purity; rather, it is intended as a relative definition, and can include preparations that are highly purified or preparations that are only partially purified, as 25 those terms are understood by those of skill in the relevant art. For example, individual clones isolated from a cDNA library have been conventionally purified to electrophoretic homogeneity. Purification of starting material or natural material to at least one order of magnitude, preferably two or three orders, and more preferably four or five orders of magnitude is expressly contemplated. Furthermore, a claimed polypeptide which has a purity of preferably 99.999%, or at least 99.99% or 99.9%; and even desirably 99% by weight or greater is expressly contemplated. The polypeptides 30 can be in aqueous solution and the purity is than defined by compound purity not taking in account water and determinants used for the solution. [0294] The nucleic acids and polypeptide expression products disclosed according to the present invention, as well as expression vectors containing such nucleic acids and/or such polypeptides, may be in "enriched form". As used herein, the term "enriched" means that the concentration of the material is at least about 2, 5, 10, 100, or 1000 times its 35 natural concentration (for example), advantageously 0.01 %, by weight, preferably at least about 0.1% by weight. Enriched preparations of about 0.5%, 1%, 5%, 10%, and 20% by weight are also contemplated. The sequences, constructs, vectors, clones, and other materials comprising the present invention can advantageously be in enriched or isolated form. [0295] The term "active fragment" means a fragment that generates an immune response (i.e., has immunogenic activity) when administered, alone or optionally with a suitable adjuvant, to an animal, such as a mammal, for example, 40 a rabbit or a mouse, and also including a human, such immune response taking the form of stimulating a T-cell response within the recipient animal, such as a human. Alternatively, the "active fragment" may also be used to induce a T-cell response in vitro. [0296] As used herein, the terms "portion", "segment" and "fragment," when used in relation to polypeptides, refer to a continuous sequence of residues, such as amino acid residues, which sequence forms a subset of a larger sequence. 45 For example, if a polypeptide were subjected to treatment with any of the common endopeptidases, such as trypsin or chymotrypsin, the oligopeptides resulting from such treatment would represent portions, segments or fragments of the starting polypeptide. When used in relation to polynucleotides, these terms refer to the products produced by treatment of said polynucleotides with any of the endonucleases. [0297] In accordance with the present invention, the term "percent identity" or "percent identical", when referring to a 50 sequence, means that a sequence is compared to a claimed or described sequence after alignment of the sequence to be compared (the "Compared Sequence") with the described or claimed sequence (the "Reference Sequence"). The Percent Identity is then determined according to the following formula:

wherein C is the number of differences between the Reference Sequence and the Compared Sequence over the length

42 EP 3 539 979 A2

of alignment between the Reference Sequence and the Compared Sequence, wherein

(i) each base or amino acid in the Reference Sequence that does not have a corresponding aligned base or amino acid in the Compared Sequence and 5 (ii) each gap in the Reference Sequence and (iii) each aligned base or amino acid in the Reference Sequence that is different from an aligned base or amino acid in the Compared Sequence, constitutes a difference; and R is the number of bases or amino acids in the Reference Sequence over the length of the alignment with the Compared Sequence with any gap created in the Reference Sequence also being counted as a base or amino acid. 10 [0298] If an alignment exists between the Compared Sequence and the Reference Sequence for which the percent identity as calculated above is about equal to or greater than a specified minimum Percent Identity then the Compared Sequence has the specified minimum percent identity to the Reference Sequence even though alignments may exist in which the herein above calculated Percent Identity is less than the specified Percent Identity. 15 [0299] The original peptides disclosed herein can be modified by the substitution of one or more residues at different, possibly selective, sites within the peptide chain, if not otherwise stated. Preferably these substitutions are located at the end of the amino acid chain. Such substitutions may be of a conservative nature, for example, where one amino acid is replaced by an amino acid of similar structure and characteristics, such as where a hydrophobic amino acid is replaced by another hydrophobic amino acid. Even more conservative would be replacement of amino acids of the same 20 or similar size and chemical nature, such as where leucine is replaced by isoleucine. In studies of sequence variations in families of naturally occurring homologous proteins, certain amino acid substitutions are more often tolerated than others, and these are often show correlation with similarities in size, charge, polarity, and hydrophobicity between the original amino acid and its replacement, and such is the basis for defining "conservative substitutions." [0300] Conservative substitutions are herein defined as exchanges within one of the following five groups: Group 1- 25 small aliphatic, nonpolar or slightly polar residues (Ala, Ser, Thr, Pro, Gly); Group 2-polar, negatively charged residues and their amides (Asp, Asn, Glu, Gln); Group 3-polar, positively charged residues (His, Arg, Lys); Group 4-large, aliphatic, nonpolar residues (Met, Leu, Ile, Val, Cys); and Group 5-large, aromatic residues (Phe, Tyr, Trp). [0301] Less conservative substitutions might involve the replacement of one amino acid by another that has similar characteristics but is somewhat different in size, such as replacement of an alanine by an isoleucine residue. Highly 30 non-conservative replacements might involve substituting an acidic amino acid for one that is polar, or even for one that is basic in character. Such "radical" substitutions cannot, however, be dismissed as potentially ineffective since chemical effects are not totally predictable and radical substitutions might well give rise to serendipitous effects not otherwise predictable from simple chemical principles. [0302] Of course, such substitutions may involve structures other than the common L-amino acids. Thus, D-amino 35 acids might be substituted for the L-amino acids commonly found in the antigenic peptides of the invention and yet still be encompassed by the disclosure herein. In addition, amino acids possessing non-standard R groups (i.e., R groups other than those found in the common 20 amino acids of natural proteins) may also be used for substitution purposes to produce immunogens and immunogenic polypeptides according to the present invention. [0303] If substitutions at more than one position are found to result in a peptide with substantially equivalent or greater 40 antigenic activity as defined below, then combinations of those substitutions will be tested to determine if the combined substitutions result in additive or synergistic effects on the antigenicity of the peptide. At most, no more than 4 positions within the peptide would simultaneously be substituted. [0304] The peptides of the invention can be elongated by up to four amino acids, meaning 1, 2, 3 or 4 amino acids can be added to either end in any combination between 4:0 and 0:4. Combinations of the elongations according to the 45 invention can be depicted from the following table 3:

C-terminus N-terminus 40 50 30 or 1 2 0 or 1 or 2 1 0 or 1 or 2 or 3 0 0or 1or 2or 3 or 4 55 N-terminus C-terminus 40

N-terminus C-terminus 30 or 1 5 2 0 or 1 or 2 1 0 or 1 or 2 or 3 0 0or 1or 2or 3 or 4

10 [0305] The amino acids for the elongation can be the peptides of the original sequence of the protein or any other amino acid. The elongation can be used to enhance the stability or solubility of the peptides. [0306] The term "T-cell response" means the specific proliferation and activation of effector functions induced by a peptide in vitro or in vivo. For MHC class I restricted CTLs, effector functions may be lysis of peptide-pulsed, peptide- 15 precursor pulsed or naturally peptide-presenting target cells, secretion of cytokines, preferably Interferon-gamma, TNF- alpha, or IL-2 induced by peptide, secretion of effector molecules, preferably granzymes or perforins induced by peptide, or degranulation. [0307] Preferably, when the CTLs specific for a peptide of SEQ ID No. 1 to SEQ ID No. 49, SEQ ID No. 71, and SEQ IDs No. 74 to 129 are tested against (compared with) the substituted peptides, the peptide concentration at which the 20 substituted peptides achieve half the maximal increase in lysis relative to background is no more than about 1 mM, preferably no more than about 1 mM, more preferably no more than about 1 nM, and still more preferably no more than about 100 pM, and most preferably no more than about 10 pM. It is also preferred that the substituted peptide be recognized by CTLs from more than one individual, at least two, and more preferably three individuals. [0308] Thus, the epitopes of the present invention may be identical to naturally occurring tumor-associated or tumor- 25 specific epitopes or may include epitopes that differ by no more than 4 residues from the reference peptide, as long as they have substantially identical antigenic activity. Substantially identical antigenic activity means stimulation of T cells in comparable frequencies or numbers with comparable avidity, effector or memory phenotype, similar response pattern. [0309] Stimulation of an immune response is dependent upon the presence of antigens recognized as foreign by the host immune system. The discovery of the existence of tumor associated antigens has now raised the possibility of using 30 a host’s immune system to intervene in tumor growth. Various mechanisms of harnessing both the humoral and cellular arms of the immune system are currently explored for cancer immunotherapy. [0310] Specific elements of the cellular immune response are capable of specifically recognizing and destroying tumor cells. The isolation of cytotoxic T-cells (CTL) from tumor-infiltrating cell populations or from peripheral blood suggests that such cells play an important role in natural immune defences against cancer. CD8-positive T-cells in particular, 35 which recognize class I molecules of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-bearing peptides of usually 8 to 12 residues derived from proteins or defect ribosomal products (DRIPS) located in the cytosols, play an important role in this response. The MHC-molecules of the human are also designated as human leukocyte-antigens (HLA). [0311] MHC class I molecules can be found on most cells having a nucleus which present peptides that result from proteolytic cleavage of mainly endogenous, cytosolic or nuclear proteins, DRIPS, and larger peptides. However, peptides 40 derived from endosomal compartments or exogenous sources are also frequently found on MHC class I molecules. This non-classical way of class I presentation is referred to as cross-presentation in literature. [0312] Since both types of response, CD8 and CD4 dependent, contribute jointly and synergistically to the anti-tumor effect, the identification and characterization of tumor-associated antigens recognized by either CD8-positive CTLs (MHC class I molecule) or by CD4-positive CTLs (MHC class II molecule) is important in the development of tumor vaccines. 45 It is therefore an object of the present invention, to provide compositions of peptides that contain peptides binding to MHC complexes of either class. [0313] Considering the severe side-effects and expense associated with treating cancer better prognosis and diagnostic methods are desperately needed. Therefore, there is a need to identify other factors representing biomarkers for cancer in general and glioblastoma in particular. Furthermore, there is a need to identify factors that can be used in the 50 treatment of cancer in general and glioblastoma in particular. [0314] The present invention provides peptides that are useful in treating cancers / tumors, preferably brain cancers, even more preferably glioblastoms that over- or exclusively present the peptides of the invention. These peptides were shown by mass spectrometry to be naturally presented by HLA molecules on primary human glioblastoma samples (see example 1, and figure 1). 55 [0315] The source gene/protein (also designated "full-length protein" or "underlying protein") from which the peptides are derived were shown to be highly overexpressed in glioblastoma compared with normal tissues (see example 2, and figure 2 for glioblastoma) demonstrating a high degree of tumor association of the source genes. Moreover, the peptides themselves are strongly over-presented on tumor tissue but not on normal tissues (see example 1 and figure 3).

44 EP 3 539 979 A2

[0316] HLA-bound peptides can be recognized by the immune system, specifically T lymphocytes/T cells. T cells can destroy the cells presenting the recognized HLA/peptide complex, e.g. glioblastoma cells presenting the derived peptides. [0317] The peptides of the present invention have been shown to be capable of stimulating T cell responses and / or are over-presented and can be used for the production of antibodies and / or sTCRs according to the present invention 5 (see example 3 and 1 and figure 4 and 3). Thus, the peptides are useful for generating an immune response in a patient by which tumor cells can be destroyed. An immune response in a patient can be induced by direct administration of the described peptides or suitable precursor substances (e.g. elongated peptides, proteins, or nucleic acids encoding these peptides) to the patient, ideally in combination with an agent enhancing the immunogenicity (i.e. an adjuvant). The immune response originating from such a therapeutic vaccination can be expected to be highly specific against tumor 10 cells because the target peptides of the present invention are not presented on normal tissues in comparable copy numbers, preventing the risk of undesired autoimmune reactions against normal cells in the patient. [0318] The pharmaceutical compositions comprise the peptides either in the free form or in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt. As used herein, "a pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to a derivative of the disclosed peptides wherein the peptide is modified by making acid or base salts of the agent. For example, acid salts are prepared from 15 the free base (typically wherein the neutral form of the drug has a neutral -NH2 group) involving reaction with a suitable acid. Suitable acids for preparing acid salts include both organic acids, e.g., acetic acid, propionic acid, glycolic acid, pyruvic acid, oxalic acid, malic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, benz oic acid, cinnamic acid, mandelic acid, methane sulfonic acid, ethane sulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, salicylic acid, and the like, as well as inorganic acids, e.g., hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid phosphoric 20 acid and the like. Conversely, preparation of basic salts of acid moieties which may be present on a peptide are prepared using a pharmaceutically acceptable base such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, trimethylamine or the like. [0319] In an especially preferred embodiment, the pharmaceutical compositions comprise the peptides as salts of acetic acid (acetates), tri-fluor acetates or hydrochloric acid (chlorides). 25 [0320] In addition to being useful for treating cancer, the peptides of the present invention are also useful as diagnostics. Since the peptides were generated -from brain cancer cells and since it was determined that these peptides are not or at lower levels present in normal tissues, these peptides can be used to diagnose the presence of a cancer. [0321] The presence of claimed peptides on tissue biopsies can assist a pathologist in diagnosis of cancer. Detection of certain peptides by means of antibodies, mass spectrometry or other methods known in the art can tell the pathologist 30 that the tissue is malignant or inflamed or generally diseased. Presence of groups of peptides can enable classification or sub-classification of diseased tissues. The detection of peptides on diseased tissue specimen can enable the decision about the benefit of therapies involving the immune system, especially if T-lymphocytes are known or expected to be involved in the mechanism of action. Loss of MHC expression is a well described mechanism by which infected of malignant cells escape immunosurveillance. Thus, presence of peptides shows that this mechanism is not exploited by 35 the analyzed cells. [0322] The peptides of the present invention might be used to analyze lymphocyte responses against those peptides such as T cell responses or antibody responses against the peptide or the peptide complexed to MHC molecules. These lymphocyte responses can be used as prognostic markers for decision on further therapy steps. These responses can also be used as surrogate markers in immunotherapy approaches aiming to induce lymphocyte responses by different 40 means, e.g. vaccination of protein, nucleic acids, autologous materials, adoptive transfer of lymphocytes. In gene therapy settings, lymphocyte responses against peptides can be considered in the assessment of side effects. Monitoring of lymphocyte responses might also be a valuable tool for follow-up examinations of transplantation therapies, e.g. for the detection of graft versus host and host versus graft diseases. [0323] The peptides of the present invention can be used to generate and develop specific antibodies against MHC/pep- 45 tide complexes. These can be used for therapy, targeting toxins or radioactive substances to the diseased tissue. Another use of these antibodies can be targeting radionuclides to the diseased tissue for imaging purposes such as PET. This use can help to detect small metastases or to determine the size and precise localization of diseased tissues. [0324] Therefore it is a further aspect of the invention to provide a method for producing a recombinant antibody specifically binding to a human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I or II being complexed with a HLA-restricted 50 antigen, the method comprising: immunizing a genetically engineered non-human mammal comprising cells expressing said human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I or II with a soluble form of a MHC class I or II molecule being complexed with said HLA-restricted antigen; isolating mRNA molecules from antibody producing cells of said non- human mammal; producing a phage display library displaying protein molecules encoded by said mRNA molecules; and isolating at least one phage from said phage display library, said at least one phage displaying said antibody 55 specifically binding to said human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I or II being complexed with said HLA- restricted antigen. [0325] It is a further aspect of the invention to provide an antibody that specifically binds to a human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I or II being complexed with a HLA-restricted antigen, wherein the antibody preferably is

45 EP 3 539 979 A2

a polyclonal antibody, monoclonal antibody, bispecific antibody and/or a chimeric antibody. [0326] Yet another aspect of the present invention then relates to a method of producing said antibody specifically binding to a human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I or II being complexed with a HLA-restricted antigen, the method comprising: immunizing a genetically engineered non-human mammal comprising cells expressing said 5 human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I or II with a soluble form of a MHC class I or II molecule being complexed with said HLA-restricted antigen; isolating mRNA molecules from antibody producing cells of said non-human mammal; producing a phage display library displaying protein molecules encoded by said mRNA molecules; and isolating at least one phage from said phage display library, said at least one phage displaying said antibody specifically bindable to said human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I or II being complexed with said HLA-restricted antigen. 10 Respective methods for producing such antibodies and single chain class I major histocompatibility complexes, as well as other tools for the production of these antibodies are disclosed in WO 03/068201, WO 2004/084798, WO 01/72768, WO 03/070752, and Cohen CJ, Denkberg G, Lev A, Epel M, Reiter Y.

J Immunol. 2003 Apr 15;170(8):4349-61, which for the purposes of the present invention are all explicitly incorporated by reference 20 in their entireties. [0327] Preferably, the antibody is binding with a binding affinity of below 20 nanomolar, preferably of below 10 nanomolar, to the complex, which is regarded as "specific" in the context of the present invention. [0328] It is a further aspect of the invention to provide a method for producing a soluble T-cell receptor recognizing a specific peptide-MHC complex. Such soluble T-cell receptors can be generated from specific T-cell clones, and their 25 affinity can be increased by mutagenesis targeting the complementarity-determining regions. For the purpose of T-cell receptor selection, phage display can be used (US 2010-0113300, Liddy N, Bossi G, Adams KJ, Lissina A, Mahon TM, Hassan NJ, et al. Monoclonal TCR-redirected tumor cell killing. Nat Med 2012 Jun;18(6):980-987). For the purpose of stabilization of T-cell receptors during phage display and in case of practical use as drug, alpha and beta chain can be linked e.g. by non-native disulfide bonds, other covalent bonds (single-chain T-cell receptor), or by dimerization domains 30 (see Boulter JM, et al. Stable, soluble T-cell receptor molecules for crystallization and therapeutics. Protein Eng 2003 Sep;16(9):707-711.; Card KF, Price-Schiavi SA, Liu B, Thomson E, Nieves E, Belmont H, et al.

Production of soluble alphabeta T-cell receptor heterodimers suitable for biophysical analysis of ligand binding. Protein 35 Sci 1999 Nov;8(11):2418-2423). The T-cell receptor can be linked to toxins, drugs, cytokines (see US20130115191), domains recruiting effector cells such as an anti-CD3 domain, etc., in order to execute particular functions on target cells. Moreover, it could be expressed in T cells used for adoptive transfer. Further information can be found in WO2004033685A1 and WO2004074322A1. A combination of sTCRs is described in WO2012056407A1. Further methods for the production are disclosed in WO2013057586A1. 40 [0329] In addition, they can be used to verify a pathologist’s diagnosis of a cancer based on a biopsied sample. [0330] To select over-presented peptides, a presentation profile is calculated showing the median sample presentation as well as replicate variation. The profile juxtaposes samples of the tumor entity of interest to a baseline of normal tissue samples. Each of these profiles can then be consolidated into an over-presentation score by calculating the p-value of a Linear Mixed-Effects Model (J. Pinheiro, D. Bates, S. DebRoy, Sarkar D., R Core team. nlme: Linear and Nonlinear 45 Mixed Effects Models. 2008) adjusting for multiple testing by False Discovery Rate (Y. Benjamini and Y. Hochberg. Controlling the False Discovery Rate: A Practical and Powerful Approach to Multiple Testing. Journal of the Royal Statistical Society. Series B (Methodological), Vol.57 (No.1):289-300, 1995). [0331] In order to identify and to relatively quantify HLA ligands by mass spectrometry, HLA molecules from shock- frozen tissue samples were purified and HLA-associated peptides were isolated. The isolated peptides were separated 50 and sequences were identified by online nano-electrospray-ionization (nanoESI) liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) experiments. The resulting peptide sequences were verified by comparison of the fragmentation pattern of natural TUMAPs recorded from glioblastoma samples with the fragmentation patterns of corresponding synthetic reference peptides of identical sequences. Since the peptides were directly identified as ligands of HLA molecules of primary tumors, these results provide direct evidence for the natural processing and presentation of the identified peptides 55 on primary tumor tissue obtained from glioblastoma patients. [0332] The proprietary discovery pipeline XPRESIDENT® v2.1 (see for example US Patent Application No.: 13/640,989 which is hereby incorporated in its entirety) allows the identification and selection of relevant over-presented peptide vaccine candidates based on direct relative quantitation of HLA-restricted peptide levels on cancer tissues in comparison

46 EP 3 539 979 A2

to several different non-cancerous tissues and organs. This was achieved by the development of label-free differential quantitation using the acquired LC-MS data processed by a proprietary data analysis pipeline, combining algorithms for sequence identification, spectral clustering, ion counting, retention time alignment, charge state deconvolution and normalization. 5 [0333] Presentation levels including error estimates for each peptide and sample were established. Peptides exclusively presented on tumor tissue and peptides over-presented in tumor versus non-cancerous tissues and organs have been identified. [0334] HLA-peptide complexes from 32 HLA-A*02-restricted and 13 HLA-A*24-restricted shock-frozen glioblastoma tumor tissue samples were purified and HLA-associated peptides were isolated and analyzed by LC-MS. 10 [0335] All TUMAPs contained in the application at hand were identified with this approach on primary glioblastoma tumor samples confirming their presentation on primary glioblastoma. [0336] TUMAPs identified on multiple glioblastoma tumor and normal tissues were quantified using ion-counting of label-free LC-MS data. The method assumes that LC-MS signal areas of a peptide correlate with its abundance in the sample. All quantitative signals of a peptide in various LC-MS experiments were normalized based on central tendency, 15 averaged per sample and merged into a bar plot, called presentation profile. The presentation profile consolidates different analysis methods like protein database search, spectral clustering, charge state deconvolution (decharging) and retention time alignment and normalization. [0337] The present invention therefore relates to a peptide comprising a sequence that is selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID No. 1 to SEQ ID No. 49, SEQ ID No. 71, and SEQ IDs No. 74 to 129 or a variant sequence thereof 20 which is at least 90% homolog to SEQ ID No. 1 to SEQ ID No. 49, SEQ ID No. 71, and SEQ IDs No. 74 to 129 or a variant thereof that induces T cells cross-reacting with said peptide, wherein said peptide is not a full-length polypeptide. [0338] The present invention further relates to a peptide comprising a sequence that is selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID No. 1 to SEQ ID No. 49, SEQ ID No. 71, and SEQ IDs No. 74 to 129 or a variant sequence thereof which is at least 90% homolog to SEQ ID No. 1 to SEQ ID No. 49, SEQ ID No. 71, and SEQ IDs No. 74 to 129, wherein 25 said peptide or variant has an overall length of between 8 and 100, preferably between 8 and 30, and most preferred between 8 and 14 amino acids. [0339] The present invention further relates to the peptides previously described, having the ability to bind to a molecule of the human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class-I or -II. [0340] The present invention further relates to the peptides previously described wherein the peptide consists or 30 consists essentially of an amino acid sequence according to SEQ ID No. 1 to SEQ ID No. 49, SEQ ID No. 71, and SEQ IDs No. 74 to 129 or a variant sequence thereof which is at least 90% homolog to SEQ ID No. 1 to SEQ ID No. 49, SEQ ID No. 71, and SEQ IDs No. 74 to 129. [0341] The present invention further relates to the peptides previously described, wherein the peptide is modified and/or includes non-peptide bonds. 35 [0342] The present invention further relates to the peptides previously described, wherein the peptide is a fusion protein, in particular comprising N-terminal amino acids of the HLA-DR antigen-associated invariant chain (Ii). [0343] The present invention further relates to a nucleic acid, encoding the peptides previously described, provided, that the peptide is not the full human protein. [0344] The present invention further relates to the nucleic acid previously described that is DNA, cDNA, PNA, RNA 40 or combinations thereof. [0345] The present invention further relates to an expression vector capable of expressing a nucleic acid previously described. [0346] The present invention further relates to a peptide as described before, a nucleic acid as described before or an expression vector as described before for use in medicine. 45 [0347] The present invention further relates to a host cell comprising a nucleic acid as described before or an expression vector as described before. [0348] The present invention further relates to the host cell described that is an antigen presenting cell. [0349] The present invention further relates to the host cell described wherein the antigen presenting cell is a dendritic cell. 50 [0350] The present invention further relates to a method of producing a peptide described, the method comprising culturing the host cell described and isolating the peptide from the host cell or its culture medium. [0351] The present invention further relates to an in vitro method for producing activated cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL), the method comprising contacting in vitro CTL with antigen loaded human class I or II MHC molecules expressed on the surface of a suitable antigen-presenting cell for a period of time sufficient to activate said CTL in an antigen 55 specific manner, wherein said antigen is any peptide described. [0352] The present invention further relates to the method as described, wherein the antigen is loaded onto class I or II MHC molecules expressed on the surface of a suitable antigen-presenting cell by contacting a sufficient amount of the antigen with an antigen-presenting cell.

47 EP 3 539 979 A2

[0353] The present invention further relates to the method as described, wherein the antigen-presenting cell comprises an expression vector capable of expressing said peptide containing SEQ ID No. 1 to SEQ ID No. 49, SEQ ID No. 71, and SEQ IDs No. 74 to 129 or a variant sequence thereof which is at least 90% homolog to SEQ ID No. 1 to SEQ ID No. 49, SEQ ID No. 71, and SEQ IDs No. 74 to 129 or said variant amino acid sequence. 5 [0354] The present invention further relates to activated cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL), produced by the method described, which selectively recognise a cell which aberrantly expresses a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence described. [0355] The present invention further relates to a method of killing target cells in a patient which target cells aberrantly express a polypeptide comprising any amino acid sequence described, the method comprising administering to the 10 patient an effective number of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) as defined. [0356] The present invention further relates to the use of any peptide described, a nucleic acid as described, an expression vector as described, a cell as described, or an activated cytotoxic T lymphocyte as described as a medicament or in the manufacture of a medicament. [0357] The present invention further relates to a use as described, wherein the medicament is a vaccine. 15 [0358] The present invention further relates to a use as described, wherein the medicament is active against cancer. [0359] The present invention further relates to a use as described, wherein said cancer cells are glioblastoma or other brain tumor. [0360] Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method for producing a personalized anti-cancer vaccine for an individual patient using a warehouse of prescreened tumor associated peptides, preferably according to the present 20 invention and/or as described herein. [0361] The present invention further relates to particular marker proteins and biomarkers that can be used in the prognosis of glioblastoma. [0362] Furthermore, the present invention relates to the use of these novel targets for cancer treatment. [0363] The term "antibodies" is used herein in a broad sense and includes both polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies. 25 In addition to intact immunoglobulin molecules, also included in the term "antibodies" are fragments or polymers of those immunoglobulin molecules and humanized versions of immunoglobulin molecules, so long as they exhibit any of the desired properties (e.g., specific binding of an glioblastoma marker polypeptide, delivery of a toxin to an glioblastoma cell expressing a glioblastoma marker gene at an increased level, and/or inhibiting the activity of a glioblastoma marker polypeptide) described herein. 30 [0364] Whenever possible, the antibodies of the invention may be purchased from commercial sources. The antibodies of the invention may also be generated using well-known methods. The skilled artisan illw understand that either full length glioblastoma marker polypeptides or fragments thereof may be used to generate the antibodies of the invention. A polypeptide to be used for generating an antibody of the invention may be partially or fully purified from a natural source, or may be produced using recombinant DNA techniques. 35 [0365] For example, a cDNA encoding PTPRZ1, BCAN, and FABP7, or any other polypeptide according to SEQ ID No. 1 to SEQ ID No. 49, SEQ ID No. 71, and SEQ IDs No. 74 to 129 or a variant sequence thereof which is at least 90% homolog to SEQ ID No. 1 to SEQ ID No. 49, SEQ ID No. 71, and SEQ IDs No. 74 to 129, or a fragment thereof, can be expressed in prokaryotic cells (e.g., bacteria) or eukaryotic cells (e.g., yeast, insect, or mammalian cells), after which the recombinant protein can be purified and used to generate a monoclonal or polyclonal antibody preparation that 40 specifically bind the glioblastoma marker polypeptide used to generate the antibody. [0366] One of skill in the art will know that the generation of two or more different sets of monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies maximizes the likelihood of obtaining an antibody with the specificity and affinity required for its intended use (e.g., ELISA, immunohistochemistry, in vivo imaging, immunotoxin therapy). The antibodies are tested for their desired activity by known methods, in accordance with the purpose for which the antibodies are to be used (e.g., ELISA, immu- 45 nohistochemistiy, immunotherapy, etc.; for further guidance on the generation and testing of antibodies, see, e.g., Harlow and Lane, Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y., 1988). For example, the antibodies may be tested in ELISA assays, Western blots, immunohistochemical staining of formalin- fixed glioblastoma or frozen tissue sections. After their initial in vitro characterization, antibodies intended for therapeuti c or in vivo diagnostic use are tested according to known clinical testing methods. 50 [0367] The term"monoclonal antibody" as used hereinrefers to an antibody obtained from asubstantially homogeneous population of antibodies, i.e.; the individual antibodies comprising the population are identical except for possible naturally occurring mutations that may be present in minor amounts. The monoclonal antibodies herein specifically include "chimeric" antibodies in which a portion of the heavy and/or light chain is identical with or homologous to corresponding sequences in antibodies derived from a particular species or belonging to a particular antibody class or subclass, while 55 the remainder of the chain(s) is identical with or homologous to corresponding sequences in antibodies derived from another species or belonging to another antibody class or subclass, as well as fragments of such antibodies, so long as they exhibit the desired antagonistic activity (U.S. Pat. No.4,816,567, which is hereby incorporated in its entirety). [0368] Monoclonal antibodies of the invention may be prepared using hybridoma methods. In a hybridoma method,

48 EP 3 539 979 A2

a mouse or other appropriate host animal, is typically immunized with an immunizing agent to elicit lymphocytes that produce or are capable of producing antibodies that will specifically bind to the immunizing agent. Alternatively, the lymphocytes may be immunized in vitro. [0369] The monoclonal antibodies may also be made by recombinant DNA methods, such as those described in U.S. 5 Pat. No.4,816,567. DNA encoding the monoclonal antibodies of the invention can be readily isolated and sequenced using conventional procedures (e.g., by using oligonucleotide probes that are capable of binding specifically to genes encoding the heavy and light chains of murine antibodies). [0370] In vitro methods are also suitable for preparing monovalent antibodies. Digestion of antibodies to produce fragments thereof, particularly, Fab fragments, can be accomplished using routine techniques known in the art. For 10 instance, digestion can be performed using papain. Examples of papain digestion are described in WO 94/29348 pub- lished Dec. 22, 1994 and U.S. Pat. No.4,342,566. Papain digestion of antibodies typically produces two identical antigen binding fragments, called Fab fragments, each with a single antigen binding site, and a residual Fe fragment. Pepsin treatment yields a fragment that has two antigen combining sites and is still capable of cross-linking antigen. [0371] The antibody fragments, whether attached to other sequences or not, can also include insertions, deletions, 15 substitutions, or other selected modifications of particular regions or specific amino acids residues, provided the activity of the fragment is not significantly altered or impaired compared to the non-modified antibody or antibody fragment. These modifications can provide for some additional property, such as to remove/add amino acids capable of disulfide bonding, to increase its bio-longevity, to alter its secretory characteristics, etc. In any case, the antibody fragment must possess a bioactive property, such as binding activity, regulation of binding at the binding domain, etc. Functional or 20 active regions of the antibody may be identified by mutagenesis of a specific region of the protein, followed by expression and testing of the expressed polypeptide. Such methods are readily apparent to a skilled practitioner in the art and can include site-specific mutagenesis of the nucleic acid encoding the antibody fragment. [0372] The antibodies of the invention may further comprise humanized antibodies or human antibodies. Humanized forms of non-human (e.g., murine) antibodies are chimeric immunoglobulins, immunoglobulin chains or fragments thereof 25 (such as Fv, Fab, Fab’ or other antigen-binding subsequences of antibodies) which contain minimal sequence derived from non-human immunoglobulin. Humanized antibodies include human immunoglobulins (recipient antibody) in which residues from a complementary determining region (CDR) of the recipient are replaced by residues from a CDR of a non-human species (donor antibody) such as mouse, rat or rabbit having the desired specificity, affinity and capacity. In some instances, Fv framework (FR) residues of the human immunoglobulin are replaced by corresponding non-human 30 residues. Humanized antibodies may also comprise residues which are found neither in the recipient antibody nor in the imported CDR or framework sequences. In general, the humanized antibody will comprise substantially all of at least one, and typically two, variable domains, in which all or substantially all of the CDR regions correspond to those of a non-human immunoglobulin and all or substantially all of the FR regions are those of a human immunoglobulin consensus sequence. The humanized antibody optimally also will comprise at least a portion of an immunoglobulin constant region 35 (Fc), typically that of a human immunoglobulin. [0373] Methods for humanizing non-human antibodies are well known in the art. Generally, a humanized antibody has one or more amino acid residues introduced into it from a source which is non-human. These non-human amino acid residues are often referred to as "import" residues, which are typically taken from an "import" variable domain. Human- ization can be essentially performed by substituting rodent CDRs or CDR sequences for the corresponding sequences 40 of a human antibody. Accordingly, such "humanized" antibodies are chimeric antibodies (U.S. Pat. No.4,816,567), wherein substantially less than an intact human variable domain has been substituted by the corresponding sequence from a non-human species. In practice, humanized antibodies are typically human antibodies in which some CDR residues and possibly some FR residues are substituted by residues from analogous sites in rodent antibodies. [0374] Transgenic animals (e.g., mice) that are capable, upon immunization, of producing a full repertoire of human 45 antibodies in the absence of endogenous immunoglobulin production can be employed. For example, it has been described that the homozygous deletion of the antibody heavy chain joining region gene in chimeric and germ-line mutant mice results in complete inhibition of endogenous antibody production. Transfer of the human germ-line immunoglobulin gene array in such germ-line mutant mice will result in the production of human antibodies upon antigen challenge. Human antibodies can also be produced in phage display libraries. 50 [0375] Antibodies of the invention are preferably administered to a subject in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Typically, an appropriate amount of a pharmaceutically-acceptable salt is used in the formulation to render the formulation isotonic. Examples of the pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier include saline, Ringer’s solution and dextrose solution. The pH of the solution is preferably from about 5 to about 8, and more preferably from about 7 to about 7.5. Further carriers include sustained release preparations such as semipermeable matrices of solid hydrophobic polymers con- 55 taining the antibody, which matrices are in the form of shaped articles, e.g., films, liposomes or microparticles. It will be apparent to those persons skilled in the art that certain carriers may be more preferable depending upon, for instance, the route of administration and concentration of antibody being administered. [0376] The antibodies can be administered to the subject, patient, or cell by injection (e.g., intravenous, intraperitoneal,

49 EP 3 539 979 A2

subcutaneous, intramuscular), or by other methods such as infusion that ensure its delivery to the bloodstream in an effective form. The antibodies may also be administered by intratumoral or peritumoral routes, to exert local as well as systemic therapeutic effects. Local or intravenous injection is preferred. [0377] Effective dosages and schedules for administering the antibodies may be determined empirically, and making 5 such determinations is within the skill in the art. Those skilled in the art will understand that the dosage of antibodies that must be administered will vary depending on, for example, the subject that will receive the antibody, the route of administration, the particular type of antibody used and other drugs being administered. A typical daily dosage of the antibody used alone might range from about 1 (mg/kg to up to 100 mg/kg of body weight or more per day, depending on the factors mentioned above. Following administration of an antibody for treating glioblastoma, the efficacy of the 10 therapeutic antibody can be assessed in various ways well known to the skilled practitioner. For instance, the size, number, and/or distribution of glioblastoma in a subject receiving treatment may be monitored using standard tumor imaging techniques. A therapeutically-administered antibody that arrests tumor growth, results in tumor shrinkage, and/or prevents the development of new tumors, compared to the disease course that would occurs in the absence of antibody administration, is an efficacious antibody for treatment of glioblastoma. 15 [0378] Because the glioblastoma markers PTPRZ1, BCAN, FABP7 and others of the invention are highly expressed in glioblastoma cells and are expressed at extremely low levels in normal cells, inhibition of PTPRZ1, BCAN, FABP7 expression or polypeptide activity may be integrated into any therapeutic strategy for treating or preventing glioblastoma. [0379] The principle of antisense therapy is based on the hypothesis that sequence-specific suppression of gene expression (via transcription or translation) may be achieved by intra-cellular hybridization between genomic DNA or 20 mRNA and a complementary antisense species. The formation of such a hybrid nucleic acid duplex interferes with transcription of the target tumor antigen-encoding genomic DNA, or processing/transport/translation and/or stability of the target tumor antigen mRNA. [0380] Antisense nucleic acids can be delivered by a variety of approaches. For example, antisense oligonucleotides or anti-sense RNA can be directly administered (e.g., by intravenous injection) to a subject in a form that allows uptake 25 into tumor cells. Alternatively, viral or plasmid vectors that encode antisense RNA (or RNA fragments) can be introduced into cells in vivo. Antisense effects can also be induced by sense sequences; however, the extent of phenotypic changes is highly variable. Phenotypic changes induced by effective antisense therapy are assessed according to changes in, e.g., target mRNA levels, target protein levels, and/or target protein activity levels. [0381] In a specific example, inhibition of lung tumor marker function by antisense gene therapy may be accomplished 30 by direct administration of antisense lung tumor marker RNA to a subject. The antisense tumor marker RNA may be produced and isolated by any standard technique, but is most readily produced by in vitro transcription using an antisense tumor marker cDNA under the control of a high efficiency promoter (e.g., the T7 promoter). Administration of anti-sense tumor marker RNA to cells can be carried out by any of the methods for direct nucleic acid administration described below. [0382] In the methods described above, which include the administration and uptake of exogenous DNA into the cells 35 of a subject (i.e., gene transduction or transfection), the nucleic acids of the present invention can be in the form of naked DNA or the nucleic acids can be in a vector for delivering the nucleic acids to the cells for inhibition of gastric tumor marker protein expression. The vector can be a commercially available preparation, such as an adenovirus vector (Quantum Biotechnologies, Inc. (Laval, Quebec, Canada). Delivery of the nucleic acid or vector to cells can be via a variety of mechanisms. As one example, delivery can be via a liposome, using commercially available liposome prep- 40 arations such as LIPOFECTIN, LIPOFECTAMINE (GIBCO- 25 BRL, Inc., Gaithersburg, Md.), SUPERFECT (Qiagen, Inc. Hilden, Germany) and TRANSFECTAM (Promega Biotec, Inc., Madison, Wis.), as well as other liposomes developed according to procedures standard in the art. In addition, the nucleic acid or vector of this invention can be delivered in vivo by electroporation, the technology for which is available from Genetronics, Inc. (San Diego, Calif.) as well as by means of a SONOPORATION machine (ImaRx Pharmaceutical Corp., Tucson, Arizona). 45 [0383] The antibodies may also be used for in vivo diagnostic assays. Generally, the antibody is labeled with a radi- onucleotide (such as 111In, 99Tc, 14C, 131I, 3H, 32P or 35S) so that the tumor can be localized using immunoscintiography. In one embodiment, antibodies or fragments thereof bind to the extracellular domains of two or more antigenic (epitope) targets, and the affinity value (Kd) is less than 10 mM, preferably less than 10-3mM, more preferably less than 10-6mM. [0384] Antibodies for diagnostic use may be labeled with probes suitable for detection by various imaging methods. 50 Methods for detection of probes include, but are not limited to, fluorescence, light, confocal and electron microscopy; magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy; fluoroscopy, computed tomography and positron emission tomography. Suitable probes include, but are not limited to, fluorescein, rhodamine, eosin and other fluorophores, radioisotopes, gold, gadolinium and other lanthanides, paramagnetic iron, fluorine-18 and other positron-emitting radionuclides. Additionally, probes may be bi- or multi-functional and be detectable by more than one of the methods listed. These antibodies may 55 be directly or indirectly labeled with said probes. Attachment of probes to the antibodies includes covalent attachment of the probe, incorporation of the probe into the antibody, and the covalent attachment of a chelating compound for binding of probe, amongst others well recognized in the art. For immunohistochemistry, the disease tissue sample may be fresh or frozen or may be embedded in paraffin and fixed with a preservative such as formalin. The fixed or embedded

50 EP 3 539 979 A2

section contains the sample are contacted with a labeled primary antibody and secondary antibody, wherein the antibody is used to detect the respective epitopes of peptides, polypeptides and/or MHC complexes in situ. [0385] The presentinvention thus provides a peptide comprising a sequencethat is selectedfrom the group of consisting of SEQ ID No. 1 to SEQ ID No. 49, SEQ ID No. 71 and SEQ IDs No. 74 to 129 or a variant sequence thereof which is 5 at least 90% homolog to SEQ ID No. 1 to SEQ ID No. 49, SEQ ID No. 71 and SEQ IDs No. 74 to 129 or a variant thereof that will induce T cells cross-reacting with said peptide. [0386] The peptides of the invention have the ability to bind to a molecule of the human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class-I and / or class II. [0387] In the present invention, the term "homologous" refers to the degree of identity between sequences of two 10 amino acid sequences, i.e. peptide or polypeptide sequences. The aforementioned "homology" is determined by comparing two sequences aligned under optimal conditions over the sequences to be compared. The sequences to be compared herein may have an addition or deletion (for example, gap and the like) in the optimum alignment of the two sequences. Such a sequence homology can be calculated by creating an alignment using, for example, the ClustalW algorithm. Commonly available sequence analysis software, more specifically, Vector NTI, GENETYX or analysis tools 15 provided by public databases. [0388] A person skilled in the art will be able to assess, whether T cells induced by a variant of a specific peptide will be able to cross-react with the peptide itself (Fong et al., 2001); (Zaremba et al., 1997; Colombetti et al., 2006; Appay et al., 2006). [0389] By a "variant" of the given amino acid sequence the inventors mean that the side chains of, for example, one 20 or two of the amino acid residues are altered (for example by replacing them with the side chain of another naturally occurring amino acid residue or some other side chain) such that the peptide is still able to bind to an HLA molecule in substantially the same way as a peptide consisting of the given amino acid sequence in consisting SEQ ID No. 1 to SEQ ID No. 49, SEQ ID No. 71 and SEQ IDs No. 74 to 129 or a variant sequence thereof which is at least 90% homolog to SEQ ID No. 1 to SEQ ID No. 49, SEQ ID No. 71 and SEQ IDs No. 74 to 129. For example, a peptide may be modified 25 so that it at least maintains, if not improves, the ability to interact with and bind to the binding groove of a suitable MHC molecule, such as HLA-A*02 or - DR, and in that way it at least maintains, if not improves, the ability to bind to the TCR of activated CTL. [0390] These CTL can subsequently cross-react with cells and kill cells that express a polypeptide that contains the natural amino acid sequence of the cognate peptide as defined in the aspects of the invention. As can be derived from 30 the scientific literature (Rammensee et al., 1997) and databases (Rammensee et al., 1999), certain positions of HLA binding peptides are typically anchor residues forming a core sequence fitting to the binding motif of the HLA receptor, which is defined by polar, electrophysical, hydrophobic and spatial properties of the polypeptide chains constituting the binding groove. Thus one skilled in the art would be able to modify the amino acid sequences set forth in SEQ ID No. 1 to SEQ ID No. 49, SEQ ID No. 71 and SEQ IDs No. 74 to 129 or a variant sequence thereof which is at least 90% 35 homolog to SEQ ID No. 1 to SEQ ID No. 49, SEQ ID No. 71 and SEQ IDs No. 74 to 129, by maintaining the known anchor residues, and would be able to determine whether such variants maintain the ability to bind MHC class I or II molecules. The variants of the present invention retain the ability to bind to the TCR of activated CTL, which can subsequently cross-react with- and kill cells that express a polypeptide containing the natural amino acid sequence of the cognate peptide as defined in the aspects of the invention. 40 [0391] Those amino acid residues that do not substantially contribute to interactions with the T-cell receptor can be modified by replacement with another amino acid whose incorporation does not substantially affect T-cell reactivity and does not eliminate binding to the relevant MHC. Thus, apart from the proviso given, the peptide of the invention may be any peptide (by which term the inventors include oligopeptide or polypeptide), which includes the amino acid sequences or a portion or variant thereof as given. 45 Table 4: Variants and motif of the peptides according to SEQ ID NO: 1, 2, 4, 51, 56 (A*02), 74, 75, 76, 80, 81, 84 (A*24) Position 123 4567891011121314 CSRP2-001 PeptideCodeRLGI KPESV 50 SEQ ID 1 Variant I L A M 55 MI ML

[0392] Longer peptides may also be suitable. It is also possible, that MHC class I epitopes, although usually between 15 8-11 amino acids long, are generated by peptide processing from longer peptides or proteins that include the actual epitope. It is preferred that the residues that flank the actual epitope are residues that do not substantially affect proteoly tic cleavage necessary to expose the actual epitope during processing. [0393] Accordingly, the present invention also provides peptides and variants of MHC class I epitopes wherein the peptide or variant has an overall length of between 8 and 100, preferably between 8 and 30, and most preferred between 20 8 and 14, namely 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 amino acids, in case of the class II binding peptides the length can also be 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 or 23 amino acids. [0394] Of course, the peptide or variant according to the present invention will have the ability to bind to a molecule of the human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I. Binding of a peptide or a variant to a MHC complex may be tested by methods known in the art. 25 [0395] In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention the peptide consists or consists essentially of an amino acid sequence according SEQ ID No. 1 to SEQ ID No. 49, SEQ ID No. 71 and SEQ IDs No. 74 to 129 or a variant sequence thereof which is at least 90% homolog to SEQ ID No. 1 to SEQ ID No. 49, SEQ ID No. 71 and SEQ IDs No. 74 to 129. [0396] "Consisting essentially of’ shall mean that a peptide according to the present invention, in addition to the 30 sequence according to any SEQ ID No. 1 to SEQ ID No. 49, SEQ ID No. 71 and SEQ IDs No. 74 to 129 or a variant sequence thereof which is at least 90% homolog to SEQ ID No. 1 to SEQ ID No. 49, SEQ ID No. 71 and SEQ IDs No. 74 to 129 or a variant thereof contains additional N- and/or C-terminally located stretches of amino acids that are not necessarily forming part of the peptide that functions as an epitope for MHC molecules epitope. [0397] Nevertheless, these stretches can be important to provide an efficient introduction of the peptide according to 35 the present invention into the cells. In one embodiment of the present invention, the peptide is a fusion protein which comprises, for example, the 80 N-terminal amino acids of the HLA-DR antigen-associated invariant chain (p33, in the following "Ii") as derived from the NCBI, GenBank Accession number X00497. [0398] In addition, the peptide or variant may be modified further to improve stability and/or binding to MHC molecules in order to elicit a stronger immune response. Methods for such an optimization of a peptide sequence are well known 40 in the art and include, for example, the introduction of reverse peptide bonds or non-peptide bonds. [0399] In a reverse peptide bond amino acid residues are not joined by peptide (-CO-NH-) linkages but the peptide bond is reversed. Such retro-inverso peptidomimetics may be made using methods known in the art, for example such as those described in Meziere et al (1997) J. Immunol. 159, 3230-3237, incorporated herein by reference. This approach involves making pseudopeptides containing changes involving the backbone, and not the orientation of side chains. 45 Meziere et al (1997) show that for MHC binding and T helper cell responses, these pseudopeptides are useful. Retro- inverse peptides, which contain NH-CO bonds instead of CO-NH peptide bonds, are much more resistant to proteolysis.

[0400] A non-peptide bond is, for example, -CH2-NH, -CH2S-, -CH2CH2-, -CH=CH-, -COCH2-,-CH(OH)CH2-, and -CH2SO-. United States Patent 4,897,445 provides a method for the solid phase synthesis of non-peptide bonds (-CH2-NH) in polypeptide chains which involves polypeptides synthesized by standard procedures and the non-peptide 50 bond synthesized by reacting an amino aldehyde and an amino acid in the presence of NaCNBH3. [0401] Peptides comprising the sequences described above may be synthesized with additional chemical groups present at their amino and/or carboxy termini, to enhance the stability, bioavailability, and/or affinity of the peptides. For example, hydrophobic groups such as carbobenzoxyl, dansyl, or t-butyloxycarbonyl groups may be added to the peptides’ amino termini. Likewise, an acetyl group or a 9-fluorenylmethoxy-carbonyl group may be placed at the peptides’ amino 55 termini. Additionally, the hydrophobic group, t-butyloxycarbonyl, or an amido group may be added to the peptides’ carboxy termini. [0402] Further, the peptides of the invention may be synthesized to alter their steric configuration. For example, the D-isomer of one or more of the amino acid residues of the peptide may be used, rather than the usual L-isomer. Still

56 EP 3 539 979 A2

further, at least one of the amino acid residues of the peptides of the invention may be substituted by one of the well- known non-naturally occurring amino acid residues. Alterations such as these may serve to increase the stability, bioavailability and/or binding action of the peptides of the invention. [0403] Similarly, a peptide or variant of the invention may be modified chemically by reacting specific amino acids 5 either before or after synthesis of the peptide. Examples for such modifications are well known in the art and are summarized e.g. in R. Lundblad, Chemical Reagents for Protein Modification, 3rd ed. CRC Press, 2005, which is incorporated herein by reference. Chemical modification of amino acids includes but is not limited to, modification by acylation, amidination, pyridoxylation of lysine, reductive alkylation, trinitrobenzylation of amino groups with 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulphonic acid (TNBS), amide modification of carboxyl groups and sulphydryl modification by performic acid oxidation 10 of cysteine to cysteic acid, formation of mercurial derivatives, formation of mixed disulphides with other thiol compounds, reaction with maleimide, carboxymethylation with iodoacetic acid or iodoacetamide and carbamoylation with cyanate at alkaline pH, although without limitation thereto. In this regard, the skilled person is referred to Chapter 15 of Current Protocols In Protein Science, Eds. Coligan et al. (John Wiley and Sons NY 1995-2000) for more extensive methodology relating to chemical modification of proteins. 15 [0404] Briefly, modification of e.g. arginyl residues in proteins is often based on the reaction of vicinal dicarbonyl compounds such as phenylglyoxal, 2,3-butanedione, and 1,2-cyclohexanedione to form an adduct. Another example is the reaction of methylglyoxal with arginine residues. Cysteine can be modified without concomitant modification of other nucleophilic sites such as lysine and histidine. As a result, a large number of reagents are available for the modification of cysteine. The websites of companies such as Sigma-Aldrich (http://www.sigma-aldrich.com) provide information on 20 specific reagents. [0405] Selective reduction of disulfide bonds in proteins is also common. Disulfide bonds can be formed and oxidized during the heat treatment of biopharmaceuticals. [0406] Woodward’s Reagent K may be used to modify specific glutamic acid residues. N-(3-(dimethylamino)propyl)-N’- ethylcarbodiimide can be used to form intra-molecular crosslinks between a lysine residue and a glutamic acid residue. 25 [0407] For example, diethylpyrocarbonate is a reagent for the modification of histidyl residues in proteins. Histidine can also be modified using 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal. [0408] The reaction of lysine residues and otherα -amino groups is, for example, useful in binding of peptides to surfaces or the cross-linking of proteins/peptides. Lysine is the site of attachment of poly(ethylene)glycol and the major site of modification in the glycosylation of proteins. 30 [0409] Methionine residues in proteins can be modified with e.g. iodoacetamide, bromoethylamine, and chloramine T. [0410] Tetranitromethane and N-acetylimidazole can be used for the modification of tyrosyl residues. Cross-linking via the formation of dityrosine can be accomplished with hydrogen peroxide/copper ions. [0411] Recent studies on the modification of tryptophan have used N-bromosuccinimide, 2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzyl bromide or 3-bromo-3-methyl-2-(2-nitrophenylmercapto)-3H-indole (BPNS-skatole). 35 [0412] Successful modification of therapeutic proteins and peptides with PEG is often associated with an extension of circulatory half-life while cross-linking of proteins with glutaraldehyde, polyethyleneglycol diacrylate and formaldehyde is used for the preparation of hydrogels. Chemical modification of allergens for immunotherapy is often achieved by carbamylation with potassium cyanate. [0413] A peptide or variant, wherein the peptide is modified or includes non-peptide bonds is a preferred embodiment 40 of theinvention. Generally, peptides and variants (atleast those containingpeptide linkages between amino acid residues) may be synthesized by the Fmoc-polyamide mode of solid-phase peptide synthesis as disclosed by Lu et al (1981) and references therein. Temporary N-amino group protection is afforded by the 9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (Fmoc) group. [0414] Repetitive cleavage of this highly base-labile protecting group is done using 20% piperidine in N, N-dimethyl- formamide. Side-chain functionalities may be protected as their butyl ethers (in the case of serine threonine and tyrosine), 45 butyl esters (in the case of glutamic acid and aspartic acid), butyloxycarbonyl derivative (in the case of lysine and histidine), trityl derivative (in the case of cysteine) and 4-methoxy-2,3,6-trimethylbenzenesulphonyl derivative (in the case of arginine). Where glutamine or asparagine are C-terminal residues, use is made of the 4,4’-dimethoxybenzhydryl group for protection of the side chain amido functionalities. The solid-phase support is based on a polydimethyl-acrylamide polymer constituted from the three monomers dimethylacrylamide (backbone-monomer), bisacryloylethylene diamine 50 (cross linker) and acryloylsarcosine methyl ester (functionalizing agent). The peptide-to-resin cleavable linked agent used is the acid-labile 4-hydroxymethyl-phenoxyacetic acid derivative. All amino acid derivatives are added as their preformed symmetrical anhydride derivatives with the exception of asparagine and glutamine, which are added using a reversed N, N-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide/1hydroxybenzotriazole mediated coupling procedure. All coupling and depro- tection reactions are monitored using ninhydrin, trinitrobenzene sulphonic acid or isotin test procedures. Upon completion 55 of synthesis, peptides are cleaved from the resin support with concomitant removal of side-chain protecting groups by treatment with 95% trifluoroacetic acid containing a 50 % scavenger mix. Scavengers commonly used include ethandithiol, phenol, anisole and water, the exact choice depending on the constituent amino acids of the peptide being synthesized. Also a combination of solid phase and solution phase methodologies for the synthesis of peptides is possible (see, for

57 EP 3 539 979 A2

example (Bruckdorfer et al., 2004) and the references as cited therein). [0415] Trifluoroacetic acid is removed by evaporation in vacuo, with subsequent trituration with diethyl ether affording the crude peptide. Any scavengers present are removed by a simple extraction procedure which on lyophilisation of the aqueous phase affords the crude peptide free of scavengers. Reagents for peptide synthesis are generally available 5 from e.g. Calbiochem-Novabiochem (UK) Ltd, Nottingham NG7 2QJ, UK. [0416] Purification may be performed by any one, or a combination of, techniques such as recrystallization, size exclusion chromatography, ion-exchange chromatography, hydrophobic interaction chromatography and (usually) reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography using e.g. acetonitril/water gradient separation. [0417] Analysis of peptides may be carried out using thin layer chromatography, electrophoresis, in particular capillary 10 electrophoresis, solid phase extraction (CSPE), reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography, amino-acid analysis after acid hydrolysis and by fast atom bombardment (FAB) mass spectrometric analysis, as well as MALDI and ESI-Q-TOF mass spectrometric analysis. [0418] A further aspect of the invention provides a nucleic acid (for example a polynucleotide) encoding a peptide or peptide variant of the invention. The polynucleotide may be, for example, DNA, cDNA, PNA, CNA, RNA or combinations 15 thereof, either single- and/or double-stranded, or native or stabilized forms of polynucleotides, such as, for example, polynucleotides with a phosphorothioate backbone and it may or may not contain introns so long as it codes for the peptide. Of course, only peptides that contain naturally occurring amino acid residues joined by naturally occurring peptide bonds are encodable by a polynucleotide. A still further aspect of the invention provides an expression vector capable of expressing a polypeptide according to the invention. 20 [0419] A variety of methods have been developed to link polynucleotides, especially DNA, to vectors for example via complementary cohesive termini. For instance, complementary homopolymer tracts can be added to the DNA segment to be inserted to the vector DNA. The vector and DNA segment are then joined by hydrogen bonding between the complementary homopolymeric tails to form recombinant DNA molecules. [0420] Synthetic linkers containing one or more restriction sites provide an alternative method of joining the DNA 25 segment to vectors. Synthetic linkers containing a variety of restriction endonuclease sites are commercially available from a number of sources including International Biotechnologies Inc. New Haven, CN, USA. [0421] A desirable method of modifying the DNA encoding the polypeptide of the invention employs the polymerase chain reaction as disclosed by (Saiki et al., 1988)). This method may be used for introducing the DNA into a suitable vector, for example by engineering in suitable restriction sites, or it may be used to modify the DNA in other useful ways 30 as is known in the art. If viral vectors are used, pox- or adenovirus vectors are preferred. [0422] The DNA (or in the case of retroviral vectors, RNA) may then be expressed in a suitable host to produce a polypeptide comprising the peptide or variant of the invention. Thus, the DNA encoding the peptide or variant of the invention may be used in accordance with known techniques, appropriately modified in view of the teachings contained herein, to construct an expression vector, which is then used to transform an appropriate host cell for the expression 35 and production of the polypeptide of the invention. Such techniques include those disclosed in US Patent Nos. 4,440,859, 4,530,901, 4,582,800, 4,677,063, 4,678,751, 4,704,362, 4,710,463, 4,757,006, 4,766,075, and 4,810,648. [0423] The DNA (or in the case of retroviral vectors, RNA) encoding the polypeptide constituting the compound of the invention may be joined to a wide variety of other DNA sequences for introduction into an appropriate host. The companion DNA will depend upon the nature of the host, the manner of the introduction of the DNA into the host, and whether 40 episomal maintenance or integration is desired. [0424] Generally, the DNA is inserted into an expression vector, such as a plasmid, in proper orientation and correct reading frame for expression. If necessary, the DNA may be linked to the appropriate transcriptional and translational regulatory control nucleotide sequences recognized by the desired host, although such controls are generally available in the expression vector. The vector is then introduced into the host through standard techniques. Generally, not all of 45 the hosts will be transformed by the vector. Therefore, it will be necessary to select for transformed host cells. One selection technique involves incorporating into the expression vector a DNA sequence, with any necessary control elements, that codes for a selectable trait in the transformed cell, such as antibiotic resistance. [0425] Alternatively, the gene for such selectable trait can be on another vector, which is used to co-transform the desired host cell. 50 [0426] Host cells that have been transformed by the recombinant DNA of the invention are then cultured for a sufficient time and under appropriate conditions known to those skilled in the art in view of the teachings disclosed herein to permit the expression of the polypeptide, which can then be recovered. [0427] Many expression systems are known, including bacteria (for example E. coli and Bacillus subtilis), yeasts (for example Saccharomyces cerevisiae), filamentous fungi (for example Aspergillus spec.), plant cells, animal cells and 55 insect cells. Preferably, the system can be mammalian cells such as CHO cells available from the ATCC Cell Biology Collection. [0428] A typical mammalian cell vector plasmid for constitutive expression comprises the CMV or SV40 promoter with a suitable poly A tail and a resistance marker, such as neomycin. One example is pSVL available from Pharmacia,

58 EP 3 539 979 A2

Piscataway, NJ, USA. An example of an inducible mammalian expression vector is pMSG, also available from Pharmacia. Useful yeast plasmid vectors are pRS403-406 and pRS413-416 and are generally available from Stratagene Cloning Systems, La Jolla, CA 92037, USA. Plasmids pRS403, pRS404, pRS405 and pRS406 are Yeast Integrating plasmids (YIps) and incorporate the yeast selectable markers HIS3, TRP1, LEU2 and URA3. Plasmids pRS413-416 are Yeast 5 Centromere plasmids (Ycps). CMV promoter-based vectors (for example from Sigma-Aldrich) provide transient or stable expression, cytoplasmic expression or secretion, and N-terminal or C-terminal tagging in various combinations of FLAG, 3xFLAG, c-myc or MAT. These fusion proteins allow for detection, purification and analysis of recombinant protein. Dual- tagged fusions provide flexibility in detection. [0429] The strong human cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter regulatory region drives constitutive protein expression 10 levels as high as 1 mg/L in COS cells. For less potent cell lines, protein levels are typically ∼0.1 mg/L. The presence of the SV40 replication origin will result in high levels of DNA replication in SV40 replication permissive COS cells. CMV vectors, for example, can contain the pMB1 (derivative of pBR322) origin for replication in bacterial cells, the b-lactamase gene for ampicillin resistance selection in bacteria, hGH polyA, and the f1 origin. Vectors containing the preprotrypsin leader (PPT) sequence can direct the secretion of FLAG fusion proteins into the culture medium for purification using 15 ANTI-FLAG antibodies, resins, and plates. Other vectors and expression systems are well known in the art for use with a variety of host cells. [0430] The present invention also relates to a host cell transformed with a polynucleotide vector construct of the present invention. The host cell can be either prokaryotic or eukaryotic. Bacterial cells may be preferred prokaryotic host cells in some circumstances and typically are a strain of E. coli such as, for example, the E. coli strains DH5 available from 20 Bethesda Research Laboratories Inc., Bethesda, MD, USA, and RR1 available from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) of Rockville, MD, USA (No ATCC 31343). Preferred eukaryotic host cells include yeast, insect and mammalian cells, preferably vertebrate cells such as those from a mouse, rat, monkey or human fibroblastic and colon cell lines. Yeast host cells include YPH499, YPH500 and YPH501, which are generally available from Stratagene Cloning Systems, La Jolla, CA 92037, USA. Preferred mammalian host cells include Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells available from 25 the ATCC as CCL61, NIH Swiss mouse embryo cells NIH/3T3 available from the ATCC as CRL 1658, monkey kidney- derived COS-1 cells available from the ATCC as CRL 1650 and 293 cells which are human embryonic kidney cells. Preferred insect cells are Sf9 cells which can be transfected with baculovirus expression vectors. An overview regarding the choice of suitable host cells for expression can be found in, for example, the textbook of Paulina Balbás and Argelia Lorence "Methods in Molecular Biology Recombinant Gene Expression, Reviews and Protocols," Part One, Second 30 Edition, ISBN 978-1-58829-262-9, and other literature known to the person of skill. [0431] Transformation of appropriate cell hosts with a DNA construct of the present invention is accomplished by well- known methods that typically depend on the type of vector used. With regard to transformation of prokaryotic host cells, see, for example, Cohen et al (1972) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 69, 2110, and Sambrook et al (1989) Molecular Cloning, A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, NY. Transformation of yeast cells is described 35 in Sherman et al (1986) Methods In Yeast Genetics, A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor, NY. The method of Beggs (1978) Nature 275,104-109 is also useful. With regard to vertebrate cells, reagents useful in transfecting such cells, for example calcium phosphate and DEAE-dextran or liposome formulations, are available from Stratagene Cloning Systems, or Life Technologies Inc., Gaithersburg, MD 20877, USA. Electroporation is also useful for transforming and/or transfecting cells and is well known in the art for transforming yeast cell, bacterial cells, insect cells and vertebrate cells . 40 [0432] Successfully transformed cells, i.e. cells that contain a DNA construct of the present invention, can be identified by well-known techniques such as PCR. Alternatively, the presence of the protein in the supernatant can be detected using antibodies. [0433] It will be appreciated that certain host cells of the invention are useful in the preparation of the peptides of the invention, for example bacterial, yeast and insect cells. However, other host cells may be useful in certain therapeutic 45 methods. For example, antigen-presenting cells, such as dendritic cells, may usefully be used to express the peptides of the invention such that they may be loaded into appropriate MHC molecules. Thus, the current invention provides a host cell comprising a nucleic acid or an expression vector according to the invention. [0434] In a preferred embodiment the host cell is an antigen presenting cell, in particular a dendritic cell or antigen presenting cell. APCs loaded with a recombinant fusion protein containing prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP) are currently 50 under investigation for the treatment of prostate cancer (Sipuleucel-T) (Small et al., 2006; Rini et al., 2006). [0435] A further aspect of the invention provides a method of producing a peptide or its variant, the method comprising culturing a host cell and isolating the peptide from the host cell or its culture medium. [0436] In another embodiment the peptide, the nucleic acid or the expression vector of the invention are used in medicine. For example, the peptide or its variant may be prepared for intravenous (i.v.) injection, sub-cutaneous (s.c.) 55 injection, intradermal (i.d.) injection, intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection, intramuscular (i.m.) injection. Preferred methods of peptide injection include s.c., i.d., i.p., i.m., and i.v. Preferred methods of DNA injection include i.d., i.m., s.c., i.p. and i.v. Doses of e.g. between 50 mg and 1.5 mg, preferably 125 mg to 500 mg, of peptide or DNA may be given and will depend on the respective peptide or DNA. Dosages of this range were successfully used in previous trials (Brunsvig et

59 EP 3 539 979 A2

al., 2006; Staehler et al., 2007). [0437] Another aspect of the present invention includes an in vitro method for producing activated T cells, the method comprising contacting in vitro T cells with antigen loaded human MHC molecules expressed on the surface of a suitable antigen-presenting cell for a period of time sufficient to activate the T cell in an antigen specific manner, wherein the 5 antigen is a peptide according to the invention. Preferably a sufficient amount of the antigen is used with an antigen- presenting cell. [0438] Preferably the mammalian cell lacks or has a reduced level or function of the TAP peptide transporter. Suitable cells that lack the TAP peptide transporter include T2, RMA-S and Drosophila cells. TAP is the transporter associated with antigen processing. 10 [0439] The human peptide loading deficient cell line T2 is available from the American Type Culture Collection, 12301 Parklawn Drive, Rockville, Maryland 20852, USA under Catalogue No CRL 1992; the Drosophila cell line Schneider line 2 is available from the ATCC under Catalogue No CRL 19863; the mouse RMA-S cell line is described in Karre et al 1985. [0440] Preferably, the host cell before transfection expresses substantially no MHC class I molecules. It is also preferred that the stimulator cell expresses a molecule important for providing a co-stimulatory signal for T-cells such as any of 15 B7.1, B7.2, ICAM-1 and LFA 3. The nucleic acid sequences of numerous MHC class I molecules and of the costimulator molecules are publicly available from the GenBank and EMBL databases. [0441] In case of a MHC class I epitope being used as an antigen, the T cells are CD8-positive CTLs. [0442] If an antigen-presenting cell is transfected to express such an epitope, preferably the cell comprises an expression vector capable of expressing a peptide containing SEQ ID No. 1 to SEQ ID No. 49, SEQ ID No. 71 and SEQ 20 IDs No. 74 to 129 or a variant sequence thereof which is at least 90% homolog to SEQ ID No. 1 to SEQ ID No. 49, SEQ ID No. 71 and SEQ IDs No. 74 to 129. [0443] A number of other methods may be used for generating CTL in vitro. For example, the methods described in Peoples et al (1995) and Kawakami et al (1992) use autologous tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in the generation of CTL. Plebanski et al (1995) makes use of autologous peripheral blood lymphocytes (PLBs) in the preparation of CTL. Jochmus 25 et al (1997) describes the production of autologous CTL by pulsing dendritic cells with peptide or polypeptide, or via infection with recombinant virus. Hill et al (1995) and Jerome et al (1993) make use of B cells in the production of autologous CTL. In addition, macrophages pulsed with peptide or polypeptide, or infected with recombinant virus, may be used in the preparation of autologous CTL. S. Walter et al. 2003 describe the in vitro priming of T cells by using artificial antigen presenting cells (aAPCs), which is also a suitable way for generating T cells against the peptide of 30 choice. In this study, aAPCs were generated by the coupling of preformed MHC:peptide complexes to the surface of polystyrene particles (microbeads) by biotin:streptavidin biochemistry. This system permits the exact control of the MHC density on aAPCs, which allows to selectively elicit high- or low-avidity antigen-specific T cell responses with high efficiency from blood samples.Apart from MHC:peptide complexes, aAPCs should carryother proteins with co-stimulatory activity like anti-CD28 antibodies coupled to their surface. Furthermore such aAPC-based systems often require the 35 addition of appropriate soluble factors, e. g. cytokines like interleukin-12. [0444] Allogeneic cells may also be used in the preparation of T cells and a method is described in detail in WO 97/26328, incorporated herein by reference. For example, in addition to Drosophila cells and T2 cells, other cells may be used to present antigens such as CHO cells, baculovirus-infected insect cells, bacteria, yeast, vaccinia-infected target cells. In addition plant viruses may be used (see, for example, Porta et al (1994)) which describes the development of 40 cowpea mosaic virus as a high-yielding system for the presentation of foreign peptides. [0445] The activated T cells that are directed against the peptides of the invention are useful in therapy. Thus, a further aspect of the invention provides activated T cells obtainable by the foregoing methods of the invention. [0446] Activated T cells, which are produced by the above method, will selectively recognize a cell that aberrantly expresses a polypeptide that comprises an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID No. 1 to SEQ ID No. 49, SEQ ID No. 71 45 and SEQ IDs No. 74 to 129. [0447] Preferably, the T cell recognizes the cell by interacting through its TCR with the HLA/peptide-complex (for example, binding). The T cells are useful in a method of killing target cells in a patient whose target cells aberrantly express a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence of the invention wherein the patient is administered an effective number of the activated T cells. The T cells that are administered to the patient may be derived from the patient 50 and activated as described above (i.e. they are autologous T cells). Alternatively, the T cells are not from the patient but are from another individual. Of course, it is preferred if the individual is a healthy individual. By "healthy individual" the inventors mean that the individual is generally in good health, preferably has a competent immune system and, more preferably, is not suffering from any disease that can be readily tested for, and detected. [0448] In vivo, the target cells for the CD8-positive T cells according to the present invention can be cells of the tumor 55 (which sometimes express MHC class II) and/or stromal cells surrounding the tumor (tumor cells) (which sometimes also express MHC class II; (Dengjel et al., 2006)). [0449] The T cells of the present invention may be used as active ingredients of a therapeutic composition. Thus, the invention also provides a method of killing target cells in a patient whose target cells aberrantly express a polypeptide

60 EP 3 539 979 A2

comprising an amino acid sequence of the invention, the method comprising administering to the patient an effective number of T cells as defined above. [0450] By "aberrantly expressed" the inventors also mean that the polypeptide is over-expressed compared to normal levels of expression or that the gene is silent in the tissue from which the tumor is derived but in the tumor it is expressed. 5 By "over-expressed" the inventors mean that the polypeptide is present at a level at least 1.2-fold of that present in normal tissue; preferably at least 2-fold, and more preferably at least 5-fold or 10-fold the level present in normal tissue. [0451] T cells may be obtained by methods known in the art, e.g. those described above. [0452] Protocols for this so-called adoptive transfer of T cells are well known in the art. Reviews can be found in (Gattinoni et al., 2006) and (Morgan et al., 2006). 10 [0453] Any molecule of the invention, i.e. the peptide, nucleic acid, antibody, expression vector, cell, activated CTL, T-cell receptor or the nucleic acid encoding it is useful for the treatment of disorders, characterized by cells escaping an immune response. Therefore any molecule of the present invention may be used as medicament or in the manufacture of a medicament. The molecule may be used by itself or combined with other molecule(s) of the invention or (a) known molecule(s). 15 [0454] Preferably, the medicament of the present invention is a vaccine. It may be administered directly into the patient, into the affected organ or systemically i.d., i.m., s.c., i.p. and i.v., or applied ex vivo to cells derived from the patient or a human cell line which are subsequently administered to the patient, or used in vitro to select a subpopulation of immune cells derived from the patient, which are then re-administered to the patient. If the nucleic acid is administered to cells in vitro, it may be useful for the cells to be transfected so as to co-express immune-stimulating cytokines, such as 20 interleukin-2. The peptide may be substantially pure, or combined with an immune-stimulating adjuvant (see below) or used in combination with immune-stimulatory cytokines, or be administered with a suitable delivery system, for example liposomes. The peptide may also be conjugated to a suitable carrier such as keyhole limpet haemocyanin (KLH) or mannan (see WO 95/18145 and Longenecker1993). The peptide may also be tagged, may be a fusion protein, or may be a hybrid molecule. The peptides whose sequence is given in the present invention are expected to stimulate CD4 or 25 CD8 T cells. However, stimulation of CD8 CTLs is more efficient in the presence of help provided by CD4 T-helper cells. Thus, for MHC Class I epitopes that stimulate CD8 CTL the fusion partner or sections of a hybrid molecule suitably provide epitopes which stimulate CD4-positive T cells. CD4- and CD8-stimulating epitopes are well known in the art and include those identified in the present invention. [0455] In one aspect, the vaccine comprises at least one peptide having the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ 30 ID No. 1 to SEQ ID No. 49, SEQ ID No. 71 and SEQ IDs No. 74 to 129 or a variant sequence thereof which is at least 90% homolog to SEQ ID No. 1 to SEQ ID No. 49, SEQ ID No. 71 and SEQ IDs No. 74 to 129 and at least one additional peptide, preferably two to 50, more preferably two to 25, even more preferably two to 20 and most preferably two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen or eighteen peptides. The peptide(s) may be derived from one or more specific TAAs and may bind to MHC class I molecules. 35 [0456] The polynucleotide may be substantially pure, or contained in a suitable vector or delivery system. The nucleic acid may be DNA, cDNA, PNA, RNA or a combination thereof. Methods for designing and introducing such a nucleic acid are well known in the art. An overview is provided by e.g. (Pascolo et al., 2005). Polynucleotide vaccines are easy to prepare, but the mode of action of these vectors in inducing an immune response is not fully understood. Suitable vectors and delivery systems include viral DNA and/or RNA, such as systems based on adenovirus, vaccinia virus, 40 retroviruses, herpes virus, adeno-associated virus or hybrids containing elements of more than one virus. Non-viral delivery systems include cationic lipids and cationic polymers and are well known in the art of DNA delivery. Physical delivery, such as via a "gene-gun," may also be used. The peptide or peptides encoded by the nucleic acid may be a fusion protein, for example with an epitope that stimulates T cells for the respective opposite CDR as noted above. [0457] The medicament of the invention may also include one or more adjuvants. Adjuvants are substances that non- 45 specifically enhance or potentiate the immune response (e.g., immune responses mediated by CTLs and helper-T (T H) cells to an antigen, and would thus be considered useful in the medicament of the present invention. Suitable adjuvants include, but are not limited to, 1018 ISS, aluminium salts, AMPLIVAX®, AS15, BCG, CP-870,893, CpG7909, CyaA, dSLIM, flagellin or TLR5 ligands derived from flagellin, FLT3 ligand, GM-CSF, IC30, IC31, Imiquimod (ALDARA®), resiquimod, ImuFact IMP321, Interleukins as IL-2, IL-13, IL-21, Interferon-alpha or -beta, or pegylated derivatives thereof, 50 IS Patch, ISS, ISCOMATRIX, ISCOMs, JuvImmune®, LipoVac, MALP2, MF59, monophosphoryl lipid A, Montanide IMS 1312, Montanide ISA 206, Montanide ISA 50V, Montanide ISA-51, water-in-oil and oil-in-water emulsions, OK-432, OM- 174, OM-197-MP-EC, ONTAK, OspA, PepTel® vector system, poly(lactid co-glycolid) [PLG]-based and dextran microparticles, talactoferrin SRL172, Virosomes and other Virus-like particles, YF-17D, VEGF trap, R848, beta-glucan, Pam3Cys, Aquila’s QS21 stimulon, which is derived from saponin, mycobacterial extracts and synthetic bacterial cell 55 wall mimics, and other proprietary adjuvants such as Ribi’s Detox, Quil, or Superfos. Adjuvants such as Freund’s or GM- CSF are preferred. Several immunological adjuvants (e.g., MF59) specific for dendritic cells and their preparation have been described previously (Allison and Krummel, 1995; Allison and Krummel, 1995). Also cytokines may be used. Several cytokines have been directly linked to influencing dendritic cell migration to lymphoid tissues (e.g., TNF-),

61 EP 3 539 979 A2

accelerating theh maturation of dendritic cells into efficient antigen-presenting cells for T-lymphocytes (e.g., GM-CSF, IL-1 and IL-4) (U.S. Pat. No. 5,849,589, specifically incorporated herein by reference in its entirety) and acting as immunoadjuvants (e.g., IL-12, IL-15, IL-23, IL-7, IFN-alpha. IFN-beta) [Gabrilovich 1996]. [0458] CpG immunostimulatory oligonucleotides have also been reported to enhance the effects of adjuvants in a 5 vaccine setting. Without being bound by theory, CpG oligonucleotides act by activating the innate (non-adaptive) immune system via Toll-like receptors (TLR), mainly TLR9. CpG triggered TLR9 activation enhances antigen-specific humoral and cellular responses to a wide variety of antigens, including peptide or protein antigens, live or killed viruses, dendritic cell vaccines, autologous cellular vaccines and polysaccharide conjugates in both prophylactic and therapeutic vaccines. More importantly it enhances dendritic cell maturation and differentiation, resulting in enhanced activation of TH1 cells 10 and strong cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) generation, even in the absence of CD4 T cell help. The T H1 bias induced by TLR9 stimulation is maintained even in the presence of vaccine adjuvants such as alum or incomplete Freund’s adjuvant

(IFA) that normally promote a TH2 bias. CpG oligonucleotides show even greater adjuvant activity when formulated or co-administered with other adjuvants or in formulations such as microparticles, nanoparticles, lipid emulsions or similar formulations, which are especially necessary for inducing a strong response when the antigen is relatively weak. They 15 also accelerate the immune response and enable the antigen doses to be reduced by approximately two orders of magnitude, with comparable antibody responses to the full-dose vaccine without CpG in some experiments (Krieg, 2006). US Pat. No. 6,406,705 B1 describes the combined use of CpG oligonucleotides, non-nucleic acid adjuvants and an antigen to induce an antigen-specific immune response. A CpG TLR9 antagonist is dSLIM (double Stem Loop Immu- nomodulator) by Mologen (Berlin, Germany) which is a preferred component of the pharmaceutical composition of the 20 present invention. Other TLR binding molecules such as RNA binding TLR 7, TLR 8 and/or TLR 9 may also be used. [0459] Other examples for useful adjuvants include, but are not limited to chemically modified CpGs (e.g. CpR, Idera), dsRNA analogues such as Poly(I:C) and derivates thereof (e.g. AmpliGen®, Hiltonol®, poly-(ICLC), poly(IC-R), poly(I:C12U), non-CpG bacterial DNA or RNA as well as immunoactive small molecules and antibodies such as cyclophosphamide, sunitinib, Bevacizumab, celebrex, NCX-4016, sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil, sorafenib, temozolomide, 25 temsirolimus, XL-999, CP-547632, pazopanib, VEGF Trap, ZD2171, AZD2171, anti-CTLA4, other antibodies targeting key structures of the immune system (e.g. anti-CD40, anti-TGFbeta, anti-TNFalpha receptor) and SC58175, which may act therapeutically and/or as an adjuvant. The amounts and concentrations of adjuvants and additives useful in the context of the present invention can readily be determined by the skilled artisan without undue experimentation. [0460] Preferred adjuvants are imiquimod, resiquimod, GM-CSF, cyclophosphamide, sunitinib, bevacizumab, inter- 30 feron-alpha, CpG oligonucleotides and derivates, poly-(I:C) and derivates, RNA, sildenafil, and particulate formulations with PLG or virosomes. [0461] In a preferred embodiment, the pharmaceutical composition according to the invention the adjuvant is selected from the group consisting of colony-stimulating factors, such as Granulocyte Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF, sargramostim), imiquimod, resiquimod, and interferon-alpha. 35 [0462] In a preferred embodiment, the pharmaceutical composition according to the invention the adjuvant is selected from the group consisting of colony-stimulating factors, such as Granulocyte Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF, sargramostim), immiquimod and resimiquimod. [0463] In a preferred embodiment of the pharmaceutical composition according to the invention, the adjuvant is imiquimod or resiquimod. 40 [0464] This composition is used for parenteral administration, such as subcutaneous, intradermal, intramuscular or oral administration. For this, the peptides and optionally other molecules are dissolved or suspended in a pharmaceutically acceptable, preferably aqueous carrier. In addition, the composition can contain excipients, such as buffers, binding agents, blasting agents, diluents, flavours, lubricants, etc.. The peptides can also be administered together with immune stimulating substances, such as cytokines. An extensive listing of excipients that can be used in such a composition, 45 can be, for example, taken from A. Kibbe, Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients, 3. Ed. 2000, American Pharmaceutical Association and pharmaceutical press. The composition can be used for a prevention, prophylaxis and/or therapy of adenomateous or cancerous diseases. Exemplary formulations can be found in EP2113253. [0465] Nevertheless depending on the number and the physico-chemical characteristics of the peptides of the invention further research is needed to provide formulations for specific combinations of peptides that are stable for more than 12 50 - 18 months. [0466] The present invention provides a medicament that useful in treating cancer, in particular non-small cell lung carcinoma, gastric cancer, renal cell carcinoma, colon cancer, adenocarcinoma, prostate cancer, benign neoplasm and malignant melanoma. [0467] The present invention further includes a kit comprising: 55 (a) a container that contains a pharmaceutical composition as described above, in solution or in lyoph ilized form; (b) optionally a second container containing a diluent or reconstituting solution for the lyophilized formulation; and (c) optionally, instructions for (i) use of the solution or (ii) reconstitution and/or use of the lyophilized formulation.

62 EP 3 539 979 A2

[0468] The kit may further comprise one or more of ( iii) a buffer, (iv) a diluent, (v) a filter, (vi) a n eedle, or (v) a syringe. The container is preferably a bottle, a vial, a syringe or test tube; and it may be a multi-use container. The pharmaceutical composition is preferably lyophilized. [0469] Kits of the present invention preferably comprise a lyophilized formulation of the present invention in a suitable 5 container and instructions for its reconstitution and/or use. Suitable containers include, for example, bottles, vials (e.g. dual chamber vials), syringes (such as dual chamber syringes) and test tubes. The container may be formed from a variety of materials such as glass or plastic. Preferably the kit and/or container contain/s instructions on or associated with the container that indicates directions for reconstitution and/or use. For example, the label may indicate that the lyophilized formulation is to be reconstituted to peptide concentrations as described above. The label may further indicate 10 that the formulation is useful or intended for subcutaneous administration. [0470] The container holding the formulation may be a multi-use vial, which allows for repeat administrations (e.g., from 2-6 administrations) of the reconstituted formulation. The kit may further comprise a second container comprising a suitable diluent (e.g., sodium bicarbonate solution). [0471] Upon mixing of the diluent and the lyophilized formulation, the final peptide concentration in the reconstituted 15 formulation is preferably at least 0.15 mg/mL/peptide (=75 mg) and preferably not more than 3 mg/mL/peptide (=1500 mg). The kit may further include other materials desirable from a commercial and user standpoint, including other buffers, diluents, filters, needles, syringes, and package inserts with instructions for use. [0472] Kits of the present invention may have a single container that contains the formulation of the pharmaceutical compositions according to the present invention with or without other components (e.g., other compounds or pharma- 20 ceutical compositions of these other compounds) or may have distinct container for each component. [0473] Preferably, kits of the invention include a formulation of the invention packaged for use in combination with the co-administration of a second compound (such as adjuvants (e.g. GM-CSF), a chemotherapeutic agent, a natural product, a hormone or antagonist, an anti-angiogenesis agent or inhibitor, a apoptosis-inducing agent or a chelator) or a pharmaceutical composition thereof. The components of the kit may be pre-complexed or each component may be in a 25 separate distinct container prior to administration to a patient. The components of the kit may be provided in one or more liquid solutions, preferably, an aqueous solution, more preferably, a sterile aqueous solution. The components of the kit may also be provided as solids, which may be converted into liquids by addition of suitable solvents, which are preferably provided in another distinct container. [0474] The container of a therapeutic kit may be a vial, test tube, flask, bottle, syringe, or any other means of enclosing 30 a solid or liquid. Usually, when there is more than one component, the kit will contain a second vial or other container, which allows for separate dosing. The kit may also contain another container for a pharmaceutically acceptable liquid. Preferably, a therapeutic kit will contain an apparatus (e.g., one or more needles, syringes, eye droppers, pipette, etc.), which enables administration of the agents of the invention that are components of the present kit. [0475] Another aspect of the invention then relates to a method for distinguishing glioblastoma from other forms of 35 cancer comprising analyzing the expression of PTPRZ1, BCAN, and/or FABP7 in a sample obtained from the brain or another tumorus specimen from a subject to be diagnosed, either alone or in addition to the therapy based on the methods herein (e.g. for a monitoring). For this, another aspect of the invention relates to s kit for measuring expression level of PTPRZ1, BCAN, and/or FABP7 as (a) glioblastoma marker gene(s), comprising at least one antibody that specifically binds a chosen glioblastoma marker polypeptide, or one or more nucleic acids that specifically hybridize with 40 PTPRZ1, BCAN, and/or FABP7 mRNA, and, optionally, a control (e.g., a specific amount of a particular glioblastoma marker polypeptide), primary and secondary antibodies when appropriate, and optionally other reagents, such as detectable moieties, enzyme substrates, and/or colour reagents. [0476] The present formulation is one that is suitable for administration of the peptides by any acceptable route such as oral (enteral), nasal, ophthal, subcutaneous, intradermal, intramuscular, intravenous or transdermal. Preferably the 45 administration is s.c., and most preferably, i.d. Administration may be by infusion pump. [0477] Since the peptides of the invention derived from SEQ ID No. 1 to SEQ ID No. 49, SEQ ID No. 71, and SEQ IDs No.74 to 129 wereisolated fromglioblastoma, the medicamentof theinvention is preferably usedto treat glioblastoma. [0478] The present invention further includes a method for producing a personalized pharmaceutical for an individual patient comprising manufacturing a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one peptide selected from a ware- 50 house of pre-screened TUMAPs, such as, for example the peptides according to SEQ ID No. 1 to SEQ ID No. 131, or the peptides of the invention derived from SEQ ID No. 1 to SEQ ID No. 49, SEQ ID No. 71, and SEQ IDs No. 74 to 129 and/or other suitable tumor associated peptides; wherein the at least one peptide used in the pharmaceutical composition is selected for suitability in the individual patient or a small group of patients. Preferably, the pharmaceutical composition is a vaccine. The method could also be adapted to produce T cell clones for down-stream applications such as TCR 55 isolations. [0479] A "personalized pharmaceutical" shall mean specifically tailored therapies for one individual patient or a small group of patients (i.e. less than 100, preferably less than 10, more preferably less than 5, most preferred one) that will only be used for therapy in such individual or small group of patients, including actively personalized cancer vaccines

63 EP 3 539 979 A2

and adoptive cellular therapies using autologous patient tissue. [0480] As used herein, the term "warehouse" shall refer to a group of peptides that have been prescreened for immunogenicity and over-presentation in a particular tumor type or group of tumor types. The term "warehouse" is not intended to imply that the particular peptides included in the vaccine have been pre-manufactured and stored in a physical facility, 5 although that possibility is contemplated. It is expressly contemplated that the peptides may be manufactured de novo for each individualized vaccine produced, or may be pre-manufactured and stored. [0481] The warehouse is preferably composed of tumor-associated peptides which were highly overexpressed in the tumor tissue of several HLA-A*02 or HLA-A*24 positive GBM patients analyzed. It contains MHC class I and MHC class II peptides. In addition to the tumor associated peptides collected from several GBM tissues, the warehouse contains 10 an HLA-A*02 and an HLA-A*24 marker peptide. These peptides allow comparison of the magnitude of T-cell immunity induced by TUMAPS in a quantitative manner and hence allow important conclusion to be drawn on the capacity of the vaccine to elicit anti-tumor responses. Secondly, it functions as an important positive control peptide derived from a "non-self" antigen in the case that any vaccine-induced T-cell responses to TUMAPs derived from "self’ antigens in a patient are not observed. And thirdly, it may allow conclusions to be drawn, regarding the status of immunocompetence 15 of the patient population. [0482] HLA class I and II TUMAPs for the warehouse are identified by using an integrated functional genomics approach combining gene expression analysis, mass spectrometry, and T-cell immunology. This methodology has been the basis for selection of the TUMAPs included in IMA901, IMA910 or IMA950 and the approach assures that only TUMAPs truly present on a high percentage of tumors but not or only minimally expressed on normal tissue, are chosen for further 20 analysis. For peptide selection, glioblastoma samples from surgically removed malignant tissue from GBM patients and blood from healthy donors were analyzed in a stepwise approach:

1. HLA ligands from the malignant material were identified by mass spectrometry 2. Genome-wide messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) expression analysis by microarrays was used to identify genes 25 over-expressed in the malignant tissue (GBM) compared with a range of normal organs and tissues 3. Identified HLA ligands were compared to gene expression data. Peptides encoded by selectively expressed or over-expressed genes as detected in step 2 were considered suitable TUMAP candidates for a multi-peptide vaccine. 4. Literature research was performed in order to identify additional evidence supporting the relevance of the identified peptides as TUMAPs 30 5. The relevance of over-expression at the mRNA level was confirmed by redetection of selected TUMAPs from step 3 on tumor tissue and lack of (or infrequent) detection on healthy tissues. 6. To assess whether an induction of in vivo T-cell responses by the selected peptides may be feasible, in vitro immunogenicity assays were performed using human T cells from healthy donors as well as from GBM patients.

35 [0483] In an aspect, the peptides are pre-screened for immunogenicity before being included in the warehouse. By way of example, and not limitation, the immunogenicity of the peptides included in the warehouse is determined by a method comprising in vitro T-cell priming through repeated stimulations of CD8+ T cells from healthy donors with artificial antigen presenting cells loaded with peptide/MHC complexes and anti-CD28 antibody, as described in detail below in EXAMPLE 3. 40 [0484] This method is preferred for rare cancers and patients with a rare expression profile. In contrast to multi-peptide cocktails with a fixed composition as currently developed the warehouse allows a significantly higher matching of the actual expression of antigens in the tumor with the vaccine. Selected single or combinations of several "off-the-shelf’ peptides will be used for each patient in a multitarget approach. In theory an approach based on selection of e.g. 5 different antigenic peptides from a library of 50 would already lead to approximately 2 million possible drug product (DP) 45 compositions. [0485] The HLA phenotype, transcriptomic and peptidomic data will be gathered from the patient’s tumor material and blood samples to identify the most suitable peptides for each patient containing warehouse and patient-unique (i.e. mutated) TUMAPs. Those peptides will be chosen, which are selectively or over-expressed in the patients tumor and, where possible, showed strong in vitro immunogenicity if tested with the patients individual PBMCs. 50 [0486] In one embodiment, the warehouse comprises and/or consists of the peptides according to SEQ ID No. 1 to 131, preferably of the peptides according to the invention. Preferred additional TUMAPs presented by a tumor sample from an individual patient or small group of patients are selected from the peptides described and claimed in EP1806358, EP1806359, EP1760088, EP1922335, EP2135878, EP2119726, EP2291395, GB1313987, and/or EP2138509. [0487] Preferably, the peptides included in the vaccine are identified by a method comprising: (a) identifying tumor- 55 associated peptides (TUMAPs) presented by a tumor sample from the individual patient; (b) comparing the peptides identified in (a) with a warehouse of peptides as described above; and (c) selecting at least one peptide from the warehouse that correlates with a tumor-associated peptide identified in the patient. For example, the TUMAPs presented by the tumor sample are identified by: (a1) comparing expression data from the tumor sample to expression data from

64 EP 3 539 979 A2

a sample of normal tissue corresponding to the tissue type of the tumor sample to identify proteins that are over-expressed or aberrantly expressed in the tumor sample; and (a2) correlating the expression data with sequences of MHC ligands bound to MHC class I and/or class II molecules in the tumor sample to identify MHC ligands derived from proteins over- expressed or aberrantly expressed by the tumor. Preferably, the sequences of MHC ligands are identified by eluting 5 bound peptides from MHC molecules isolated from the tumor sample, and sequencing the eluted ligands. Preferably, the tumor sample and the normal tissue are obtained from the same patient. [0488] The peptides are selected for inclusion in the vaccine based on their suitability for the individual patient based on the immunogenicity, which can be determined by a method comprising in vitro immunogenicity assays, based on their level of overpresentation on the peptide level, or based on the level of overexpression of the mRNA encoding the 10 peptide. Preferably, the in vitro immunogenicity is determined on cells of the individual patient. [0489] In addition to, or as an alternative to, selecting peptides using a warehousing model, TUMAPs may be identified in the patient de novo and then included in the vaccine. As one example, candidate TUMAPs may be identified in the patient by (a1) comparing expression data from the tumor sample to expression data from a sample of normal tissue corresponding to the tissue type of the tumor sample to identify proteins that are over-expressed or aberrantly expressed 15 in the tumor sample; and (a2) correlating the expression data with sequences of MHC ligands bound to MHC class I and/or class II molecules in the tumor sample to identify MHC ligands derived from proteins over-expressed or aberrantly expressed by the tumor. As another example, proteins may be identified containing mutations that are unique to the tumor sample relative to normal corresponding tissue from the individual patient, and TUMAPs can be identified that specifically target the mutation. For example, the genome of the tumor and of corresponding normal tissue can be 20 sequenced by whole genome sequencing: For discovery of non-synonymous mutations in the protein-coding regions of genes, genomic DNA and RNA are extracted from tumor tissues and normal non-mutated genomic germline DNA is extracted from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). The applied NGS approach is confined to the re-sequencing of protein coding regions (exome re-sequencing). For this purpose, exonic DNA from human samples is captured using vendor-supplied target enrichment kits, followed by sequencing with e.g. a HiSeq2000 (Illumina). Additionally, tumor 25 mRNA is sequenced for direct quantification of gene expression and validation that mutated genes are expressed in the patients’ tumors. The resultant millions of sequence reads are processed through software algorithms. The output list contains mutations and gene expression. Tumor-specific somatic mutations are determined by comparison with the PBMC-derived germline variations and prioritized. The de novo identified peptides may then be tested for immunogenicity as described above for the warehouse, and candidate TUMAPs possessing suitable immunogenicity are selected for 30 inclusion in the vaccine. [0490] In one exemplary embodiment, the peptides included in the vaccine are identified by: (a) identifying tumor- associated peptides (TUMAPs) presented by a tumor sample from the individual patient by the methdos described above; (b) comparing the peptides identified in a) with a warehouse of peptides that have been prescreened for immunogenicity and overpresentation in tumors as compared to corresponding normal tissue; (c) selecting at least one peptide 35 from the warehouse that correlates with a tumor-associated peptide identified in the patient; and (d) optionally, selecting at least one peptide identified de novo in (a) confirming its immunogenicity. [0491] In one exemplary embodiment, the peptides included in the vaccine are identified by: (a) identifying tumor- associated peptides (TUMAPs) presented by a tumor sample from the individual patient; and (b) selecting at least one peptide identified de novo in (a) and confirming its immunogenicity. 40 [0492] Once the peptides are selected, the vaccine is manufactured. The vaccine is a liquid formulation consisting of the individual peptides dissolved in 33% DMSO. Each peptide to be included into a product is dissolved in DMSO. The concentration of the single peptide solutions has to be chosen depending on the number of peptides to be included into the product. The single peptide-DMSO solutions are mixed in equal parts to achieve a solution containing all peptides to be included in the product with a concentration of ∼2.5mg/ml per peptide. The mixed solution is then diluted 1:3 with 45 water for injection to achieve a concentration of 0.826mg/ml per peptide in 33% DMSO. The diluted solution is filtered through a 0.22 mm sterile filter. The final bulk solution is obtained. Final bulk solution is filled into vials and stored at -20°C until use. One vial contains 700mL solution containing 0.578mg of each peptide. Thereof 500mL (approx. 400 mg per peptide) will be applied for intradermal injection. [0493] The present invention will now be described in the following examples that describe preferred embodiments 50 thereof, nevertheless, without being limited thereto. For the purposes of the present invention, all references as cited herein are incorporated by reference in their entireties.

EXAMPLES

EXAMPLE 1: 20 Identification and quantitation of tumor associated peptides presented on the cell surface Tissue samples

[0494] Patients’ tumor tissues were provided by Universities of Heidelberg, University of Tübingen, both Germany, University of Geneva, Switzerland. Written informed consents of all patients had been given before surgery. Tissues 25 were shock-frozen in liquid nitrogen immediately after surgery and stored until isolation of TUMAPs at -80°C.

Isolation of HLA peptides from tissue samples

[0495] HLA peptide pools from shock-frozen tissue samples were obtained by immune precipitation from solid tissues 30 according to a slightly modified protocol (Falk et al., 1991; Seeger et al., 1999) using the HLA-A*02-specific antibody BB7.2, the HLA-A, -B, -C-specific antibody W6/32, CNBr-activated sepharose, acid treatment, and ultrafiltration.

Methods

35 [0496] The HLA peptide pools as obtained were separated according to their hydrophobicity by reversed-phase chromatography (Acquity UPLC system, Waters) and the eluting peptides were analyzed in an LTQ-Orbitrap hybrid mass spectrometer (ThermoElectron) equipped with an ESI source. Peptide pools were loaded directly onto the analytical fused-silica micro-capillary column (75 mm i.d. x 250 mm) packed with 1.7 mm C18 reversed-phase material (Waters) applying a flow rate of 400 nL per minute. Subsequently, the peptides were separated using a two-step 180 minute- 40 binary gradient from 10% to 33% B at a flow rate of 300 nL per minute. The gradient was composed of Solvent A (0.1% formic acid in water) and solvent B (0.1% formic acid in acetonitrile). A gold coated glass capillary (PicoTip, New Objective) was used for introduction into the nanoESI source. The LTQ-Orbitrap mass spectrometer was operated in the data- dependent mode using a TOP5 strategy. In brief, a scan cycle was initiated with a full scan of high mass accuracy in the orbitrap (R = 30 000), which was followed by MS/MS scans also in the orbitrap (R = 7500) on the 5 most abundant 45 precursor ions with dynamic exclusion of previously selected ions. Tandem mass spectra were interpreted by SEQUEST and additional manual control. The identified peptide sequence was assured by comparison of the generated natural peptide fragmentation pattern with the fragmentation pattern of a synthetic sequence-identical reference peptide. Fig 1 shows an exemplary spectrum obtained from tumor tissue for the MHC class I associated peptide IGF2BP3-001 and its elution profile on the UPLC system. 50 Label-free relative LC-MS quantitation was performed by ion counting i.e. by extraction and analysis of LC-MS features (Mueller et al., 2007). The method assumes that the peptide’s LC-MS signal area correlates with its abundance in the sample. Extracted features were further processed by charge state deconvolution and retention time alignment (Mueller et al., 2007). Finally, all LC-MS features were cross-referenced with the sequence identification results to combine quantitative data of different samples and tissues to peptide presentation profiles. The quantitative data were normalized 55 in a two-tier fashion according to central tendency to account for variation within technical and biological replicates. Thus each identified peptide can be associated with quantitative data allowing relative quantification between samples and tissues. In addition, all quantitative data acquired for peptide candidates was inspected manually to assure data con- sistency and to verify the accuracy of the automated analysis. For each peptide a presentation profile was calculated

66 EP 3 539 979 A2

showing the mean sample presentation as well as replicate variations. The profile juxtaposes glioblastoma samples to a baseline of normal tissue samples. [0497] Presentation profiles of exemplary over-presented peptides are shown in Figure 3.

5 EXAMPLE 2

Expression profiling of genes encoding the peptides of the invention

[0498] Not all peptides identified as being presented on the surface of tumor cells by MHC molecules are suitable for 10 immunotherapy, because the majority of these peptides are derived from normal cellular proteins expressed by many cell types. Only few of these peptides are tumor-associated and likely able to induce T cells with a high specificity of recognition for the tumor from which they were derived. In order to identify such peptides and minimize the risk for autoimmunity induced by vaccination the inventors focused on those peptides that are derived from proteins that are over-expressed on tumor cells compared to the majority of normal tissues. 15 [0499] The ideal peptide will be derived from a protein that is unique to the tumor and not present in any other tissue. To identify peptides that are derived from genes with an expression profile similar to the ideal one the identified peptides were assigned to the proteins and genes, respectively, from which they were derived and expression profiles of these genes were generated.

20 RNA sources and preparation

[0500] Surgically removed tissue specimens were provided by several institutions as listed in Example 1 after written informed consent had been obtained from each patient. Tumor tissue specimens were snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen immediately after surgery and later homogenized with mortar and pestle under liquid nitrogen. Total RNA was prepared 25 from these samples using TRI Reagent (Ambion, Darmstadt, Germany) followed by a cleanup with RNeasy (QIAGEN, Hilden, Germany); both methods were performed according to the manufacturer’s protocol. [0501] Total RNA from healthy human tissues was obtained commercially (Ambion, Huntingdon, UK; Clontech, Hei- delberg, Germany; Stratagene, Amsterdam, Netherlands; BioChain, Hayward, CA, USA). The RNA from several individuals (between 2 and 123 individuals) was mixed such that RNA from each individual was equally weighted. 30 [0502] Quality and quantity of all RNA samples were assessed on an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent, Waldbronn, Germany) using the RNA 6000 Pico LabChip Kit (Agilent).

Microarray experiments

35 [0503] Gene expression analysis of all tumor and normal tissue RNA samples was performed by Affymetrix Human Genome (HG) U133A or HG-U133 Plus 2.0 oligonucleotide microarrays (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA, USA). All steps were carried out according to the Affymetrix manual. Briefly, double-stranded cDNA was synthesized from 5-8m g of total RNA, using SuperScript RTII (Invitrogen) and the oligo-dT-T7 primer (MWG Biotech, Ebersberg, Germany) as described in the manual. In vitro transcription was performed with the BioArray High Yield RNA Transcript Labelling Kit 40 (ENZO Diagnostics, Inc., Farmingdale, NY, USA) for the U133A arrays or with the GeneChip IVT Labelling Kit (Affymetrix) for the U133 Plus 2.0 arrays, followed by cRNA fragmentation, hybridization, and staining with streptavidin-phycoerythrin and biotinylated anti-streptavidin antibody (Molecular Probes, Leiden, Netherlands). Images were scanned with the Agilent 2500A GeneArray Scanner (U133A) or the Affymetrix Gene-Chip Scanner 3000 (U133 Plus 2.0), and data were analyzed with the GCOS software (Affymetrix), using default settings for all parameters. For normalisation, 100 house- 45 keeping genes provided by Affymetrix were used. Relative expression values were calculated from the signal log ratios given by the software and the normal kidney sample was arbitrarily set to 1.0. [0504] Exemplary expression profiles of source genes of the present invention that are highly over-expressed or exclusively expressed in glioblastoma are shown in Fig. 2.

50 EXAMPLE 3

In vitro immunogenicity for glioblastoma MHC class I presented peptides

[0505] In order to obtain information regarding the immunogenicity of the TUMAPs of the present invention, we per- 55 formed investigations using an in vitro T-cell priming assay based on repeated stimulations of CD8+ T cells with artificial antigen presenting cells (aAPCs) loaded with peptide/MHC complexes and anti-CD28 antibody. This way we could show immunogenicity for 69 HLA-A*0201 and 58 HLA-A*24 restricted TUMAPs of the invention so far, demonstrating that these peptides are T-cell epitopes against which CD8+ precursor T cells exist in humans.

67 EP 3 539 979 A2

In vitro priming of CD8+ T cells

[0506] In order to perform in vitro stimulations by artificial antigen presenting cells loaded with peptide-MHC complex (pMHC) and anti-CD28 antibody, we first isolated CD8+ T cells from fresh HLA-A*02 leukapheresis products via positive 5 selection using CD8 microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch-Gladbach, Germany) of healthy donors obtained from the Transfusion Medicine Tuebingen after informed consent. [0507] Isolated CD8+ lymphocytes or PBMCs were incubated until use in T-cell medium (TCM) consisting of RPMI- Glutamax (Invitrogen, Karlsruhe, Germany) supplemented with 10% heat inactivated human AB serum (PAN-Biotech, Aidenbach, Germany), 100 U/ml Penicillin / 100m g/ml Streptomycin (Cambrex, Cologne, Germany), 1 mM sodium 10 pyruvate (CC Pro, Oberdorla, Germany), 20m g/ml Gentamycin (Cambrex). 2.5 ng/ml IL-7 (PromoCell, Heidelberg, Germany) and 10 U/ml IL-2 (Novartis Pharma, Nürnberg, Germany) were also added to the TCM at this step. Generation of pMHC/anti-CD28 coated beads, T-cell stimulations and readout was performed in a highly defined in vitro system using four different pMHC molecules per stimulation condition and 8 different pMHC molecules per readout condition. All pMHC complexes used for aAPC loading and cytometric readout were derived from UV-induced MHC ligand exchange 15 with minor modifications. In order to determine the amount of pMHC monomer obtained by exchange we performed streptavidin-based sandwich ELISAs according to (Rodenko et al., 2006). The purified co-stimulatory mouse IgG2a anti human CD28 Ab 9.3 (Jung et al., 1987) was chemically biotinylated using Sulfo-N-hydroxysuccinimidobiotin as recom- mended by the manufacturer (Perbio, Bonn, Germany). Beads used were 5.6 mm diameter streptavidin coated polystyrene particles (Bangs Laboratories, Illinois, USA). 20 pMHC used as controls for high immunogenic and low immunogenic stimulations were A*0201/MLA-001 (peptide ELA- GIGILTV from modified Melan-A/MART-1) and A*0201/DDX5-001 (YLLPAIVHI from DDX5), respectively. [0508] 800.000 beads / 200 ml were coated in 96-well plates in the presence of 4 x 12.5 ng different biotin-pMHC, washed and 600 ng biotin anti-CD28 were added subsequently in a volume of 200 ml. Stimulations were initiated in 96- well plates by co-incubating 1x106 CD8+ T cells with 2x105 washed coated beads in 200 ml TCM supplemented with 5 25 ng/ml IL-12 (PromoCell) for 3-4 days at 37°C. Half of the medium was then exchanged by fresh TCM supplemented with 80 U/ml IL-2 and incubating was continued for 3-4 days at 37°C. This stimulation cycle was performed for a total of three times, with 12 individual wells per condition For the pMHC multimer readout using 8 different pMHC molecules per condition, a two-dimensional combinatorial coding approach was used as previously described (Andersen et al., 2012) with minor modifications encompassing coupling to 5 different fluorochromes. Finally, multimeric analyses were 30 performed by staining the cells with Live/dead near IR dye (Invitrogen, Karlsruhe, Germany), CD8-FITC antibody clone SK1 (BD, Heidelberg, Germany) and fluorescent pMHC multimers. For analysis, a BD LSRII SORP cytometer equipped with appropriate lasers and filters was used. Peptide specific cells were calculated as percentage of total CD8+ cells. Evaluation of multimeric analysis was done using the FlowJo software (Tree Star, Oregon, USA). In vitro priming of specific multimer+ CD8+ lymphocytes was detected by by comparison to irrelevant control stimulations. Immunogenicity 35 for a given antigen was detected if at least one evaluable in vitro stimulated well of one healthy donor was found to contain a specific CD8+ T-cell line after in vitro stimulation (i.e. this well contained at least 1% of specific multimer+ among CD8+ T-cells and the percentage of specific multimer+ cells was at least 10x the median of the irrelevant control stimulations).

40 In vitro immunogenicity for glioblastoma peptides

[0509] For tested HLA class I peptides, in vitro immunogenicity could be demonstrated by generation of peptide specific T-cell lines. Exemplary flow cytometry results after TUMAP-specific multimer staining for two peptides of the invention are shown in figure 4 together with corresponding negative controls. Results for 69 HLA-A*0201 and 58 HLA-A*24 45 peptides from the invention are summarized in Table 5a and b.

Peptides encoded by selectively expressed or over-expressed genes as detected in step b are selected; e. the relevance of over-expression at the mRNA level is confirmed by redetection of selected TUMAPs from step c on tumor tissue and lack of or infrequent detection on healthy tissues; and f. To assess whether an induction of in vivo T-cell responses by the selected peptides is feasible, in vitro immunogenicity assays will performed using human T cells from healthy donors or the patient. 50
