Background: Bladder urothelial carcinoma (BLCA) is associated with high mortality and recurrence. Although mRNA-based vaccines are promising treatment strategies for combating multiple solid cancers, their efficacy against BLCA remains unclear. We aimed to identify potential effective antigens of BLCA for the development of mRNA-based vaccines and screen for immune clusters to select appropriate candidates for vaccination. Methods: Gene expression microarray data and clinical information were retrieved from The Cancer Genome Atlas and GSE32894, respectively. The mRNA splicing patterns were obtained from the SpliceSeq portal. The cBioPortal for Cancer Genomics was used to visualize genetic alteration profiles. Furthermore, nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) analysis, correlation analysis, consensus clustering analysis, immune cell infiltration analysis, and weighted co-expression network analysis were conducted. Results: Six upregulated and mutated tumor antigens related to NMD, and infiltration of APCs were identified in patients with BLCA, including HP1BP3, OSBPL9, SSH3, ZCCHC8, FANCI, and EIF4A2. The patients were subdivided into two immune clusters (IC1 and IC2) with distinct clinical, cellular and molecular features. Patients in IC1 represented immunologically ‘hot’ phenotypes, whereas those in IC2 represented immunologically ‘cold’ phenotypes. Moreover, the survival rate was better in IC2 than in IC1, and the immune landscape of BLCA indicated significant inter-patient heterogeneity. Finally, CALD1, TGFB3, and ANXA6 were identified as key genes of BLCA through WGCNA analysis, and their mRNA expression levels were measured using qRT-PCR. Conclusion: HP1BP3, OSBPL9, SSH3, ZCCHC8, FANCI, and EIF4A2 were identified as potential antigens for developing mRNA-based vaccines against BLCA, and patients in IC2 might benefit more from vaccination.
