摘要

Background: Cancer cells benefit from different biological processes that allow them to grow successfully even in the presence of native defense mechanisms. The development of effective cancer vaccines could benefit from in silico techniques that evaluate tumor cell biology. Cancer/testis antigens (CTAs) exhibit limited expression patterns in normal human germ line and placenta cells, while overexpression of CTAs has been reported frequently in a variety of cancer cell types. Among CTAs, MAGEA4, LAGE1, and NY-ESO1, which are highly overexpressed in esophageal squamous cell carcinomas, may have crucial roles in tumor cell progression and metastasis.Results: In this study we designed a synthetic chimeric gene encoding the MHC class-I HLA-restricted epitopes of MAGEA4, LAGE1, and NY-ESO1. This polytope molecule was designed based on human codon optimization. The epitopes were linked using five hydrophobic amino acid repeats. The structure of the synthetic gene, related mRNA, deduced protein, and their stabilities were analyzed by bioinformatic software. Furthermore, the cleavage sites, T- cell epitopes, and MHC-binding affinity of peptides in the construct were predicted using web-based servers. The solvent accessibility and post-translational modifications of the construct’s protein were also predicted.Conclusion: A new combination of antigenic epitopes of CTAs, which may define accessibility, solubility, and immunogenicity, is presented to develop a chimeric gene as an effective structural model for cancer immune-gene therapy.
