Summary Lung adenocarcinoma follows a stepwise progression from pre-invasive to invasive. However, there remains a knowledge gap regarding molecular events from pre-invasive to invasive. Here, we conduct a comprehensive proteogenomic analysis comprising whole-exon sequencing, RNA sequencing, and proteomic and phosphoproteomic profiling on 98 pre-invasive and 99 invasive lung adenocarcinomas. The deletion of chr4q12 contributes to the progression from pre-invasive to invasive adenocarcinoma by downregulating SPATA18, thus suppressing mitophagy and promoting cell invasion. Proteomics reveals diverse enriched pathways in normal lung tissues and pre-invasive and invasive adenocarcinoma. Proteomic analyses identify three proteomic subtypes, which represent different stages of tumor progression. We also illustrate the molecular characterization of four immune clusters, including endothelial cells, B cells, DCs, and immune depression subtype. In conclusion, this comprehensive proteogenomic study characterizes the molecular architecture and hallmarks from pre-invasive to invasive lung adenocarcinoma, guiding the way to a deeper understanding of the tumorigenesis and progression of this disease.
Immunological adjuvants are essential for successful cancer vaccination. However, traditional adjuvants have some limitations, such as lack of controllability and induction of systemic toxicity, which restrict their broad application. Here, we present a light-activable immunological adjuvant (LIA), which is composed of a hypoxia-responsive amphiphilic dendrimer nanoparticle loaded with chlorin e6. Under irradiation with near-infrared light, the LIA not only induces tumour cell lysis and tumour antigen release, but also promotes the structural transformation of 2-nitroimidazole containing dendrimer to 2-aminoimidazole containing dendrimer which can activate dendritic cells via the Toll-like receptor 7-mediated signaling pathway. The LIA efficiently inhibits both primary and abscopal tumour growth and induces strong antigen-specific immune memory effect to prevent tumour metastasis and recurrence in vivo. Furthermore, LIA localizes the immunological adjuvant effect at the tumour site. We demonstrate this light-activable immunological adjuvant offers a safe and potent platform for in situ cancer vaccination.
