中文摘要
对肽-主要组织相容性复合体(MHC)相互作用进行可靠的计算建模,可直接为癌症免疫治疗的开发提供依据,有助于更好地识别肿瘤新抗原以及免疫治疗相关不良事件的潜在预测指标。在我们此前提出的新型深度学习框架JANUS(Joint Allele-specific Neural prediction of MHC I/II-binding Universal Sequences,MHC I/II类结合通用序列的联合等位基因特异性神经预测)的基础上,我们现进一步研究:整合多等位基因质谱数据(其中呈递肽段的MHC等位基因未知)能否在广泛的MHC等位基因范围内进一步提升预测准确性。多等位基因数据集占现有免疫肽组学数据的很大一部分,但需要采用反卷积策略将肽段归属于最可能呈递它们的等位基因。受NNAlign_MA等方法的启发,我们采用一种迭代式反卷积流程对多等位基因配体进行注释,并将其与单等位基因结合亲和力数据集及洗脱配体数据集一并纳入训练。与此同时,我们探索集成建模架构,以确定聚合多个基于JANUS的模型是否能在预测稳定性和泛化能力方面带来额外提升。利用大规模公开可用数据集,我们将JANUS的集成扩展版本与NetMHCpan、NetMHCIIpan等最先进的预测工具进行比较评估,性能评估涵盖精确率-召回率曲线和受试者工作特征曲线等指标。初步结果表明,基于transformer的深度学习、迭代式多等位基因反卷积流程与集成学习策略的这一新颖组合,相较于单一模型基线,能够维持或提升预测性能。

Reliable computational modeling of peptide-major histocompatibility complex (MHC) interactions directly informs cancer immunotherapy development, enabling improved identification of tumor neoantigens and potential predictors of immunotherapy-related adverse events. Building upon our prior novel deep learning framework, JANUS (Joint Allele-specific Neural prediction of MHC I/II-binding Universal Sequences), we now investigate whether integrating multi-allele mass spectrometry data - where the presenting MHC allele is unknown - can further enhance prediction accuracy across a broad set of MHC alleles. Multi-allele datasets represent a substantial portion of available immunopeptidomics data but require deconvolution strategies to assign peptides to their most likely presenting allele. Inspired by approaches such as NNAlign_MA, we apply an iterative deconvolution procedure to annotate multi-allele ligands and incorporate them into training alongside single-allele binding affinity and eluted ligand datasets. In parallel, we explore ensemble modeling architectures to determine whether aggregating multiple JANUS-based models yields additional gains in predictive stability and generalization. Using large publicly available datasets, we evaluate ensemble extensions of JANUS against state-of-the-art predictors, including NetMHCpan and NetMHCIIpan, with performance assessed across metrics such as precision-recall and receiver operating characteristic curves. Preliminary findings indicate that the novel combination of transformer-based deep learning, iterative multi-allele deconvolution procedures, and ensemble learning strategies can maintain or improve predictive performance compared with single-model baselines.
