Embodiments of the disclosure concern methods and compositions related to cancer treatment for an individual utilizing recombinant fibroblast cells that comprise one or more activities that are endothelial cell-like. The cells are delivered to a tumor microenvironment following which their death results in destabilization of the tumor vasculature. In particular embodiments, the fibroblast cells recombinantly express one or more of ETV2, FOXC2, and FLI1.

The present invention relates to peptides, proteins, 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 tumor-associated T-cell peptide epitopes, alone or in combination with other tumor-associated peptides that can for example serve as active pharmaceutical ingredients of vaccine compositions that stimulate anti-tumor immune responses, or to stimulate T cells ex vivo and transfer into patients. Peptides bound to molecules of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), or peptides as such, can also be targets of antibodies, soluble T-cell receptors, and other binding molecules.

The present invention provides an mRNA molecule encoding at least one KRAS variant peptide. Further, the invention provides a pharmaceutical composition and kit comprising the mRNA molecule. The mRNA molecule, pharmaceutical composition and kit are useful for treating cancer.

Methods and compositions for inducing cell death in cells with FET-fused oncogenes, as well as methods for treating tumors with FET-fused oncogenes, such as cells and tumors associated with Ewing's sarcoma and fibromyxoid Iposarcoma. Oncogenes may include the EWS-FLI1 oncogene, FUS-FLI1 oncogene, FUS-CHOP oncogene, etc. The methods feature herein administering to a patient with a FET-fused oncogene tumor a combination of a DNA damaging agent and a transcription inhibitor. The combination of the transcription inhibitor and DNA damaging agent causes death of cells in the tumor.

Disclosed is an isolated or purified T cell receptor (TCR), wherein the TCR has antigenic specificity for a mutated human RAS amino acid sequence with a substitution of glycine at position 12 with aspartic acid presented by a human leukocyte antigen (HLA) Class I molecule. Related polypeptides and proteins, as well as related nucleic acids, recombinant expression vectors, host cells, populations of cells, and pharmaceutical compositions are also provided. Also disclosed are methods of detecting the presence of cancer in a mammal and methods of treating or preventing cancer in a mammal.
