Immune function genes from AA and EA breast cancer exosomes show a racial disparity. (A) Nanostring PanCancer Immune gene analysis, which includes 730 immune function genes, showed that, relative to EA breast cancer exosomes, AA breast cancer exosomes had lower expression of overall immune genes as well as innate immune response genes and adaptive immune response genes. (B) A volcano plot showed the differential expression of immune genes in AA and EA breast cancer exosomes, where a few genes such as CD47, CCL5, PPBP, and TGFB1 were increased in AA exosomes, whereas CD24, IL26, CTSL, and GAGE1 were increased in EA exosomes. (C) Cytoscape analysis showed that genes interacting through the chemokine signaling pathway, the cytokine–cytokine receptor pathway, the MAPK signaling pathway, and the NF-kB signaling pathway were upregulated in AA exosomes as compared to EA exosomes (D) Differential expressions of chemokine, cytokine, and interleukin function genes in AA and EA breast cancer exosomes, notably PPBP, CXCL5, CCL5, and TGFB1 (involved in cancer progression) were increased in AA exosomes. (E) Hierarchical clustering showed that T-cell activation genes and CD8+ T cell genes were increased in EA exosomes, whereas macrophage marker genes, especially the expression CD47, were increased in AA exosomes.

Kaiso represses the expression of several immune genes, including THBS1. (A). Hierarchical clustering of differentially expressed genes from PanCancer Nanostring Immune Profiling showed that there were fewer immune genes expressed in sh–Kaiso cells as compared to control sh-Scr cells. (B). Cytoscape analysis shows that genes interact through the chemokine signaling pathway, the cytokine–cytokine receptor pathway, the MAPK signaling pathway, and the NOD–like receptor signaling pathway, and the NF–kappa B signaling pathway was downregulated in sh-Kaiso cells as compared to sh-Scr cells. (C). A Venn diagram shows the association of immune genes between genes that were upregulated in AA exosomes and genes downregulated in sh-Kaiso cells (identified by color code). A total of 31 genes, including CD47 and TGFB1, were common genes among these two groups. (D). Kaiso-depleted cells showed significantly lower expression of CD47 with significantly higher expression of THBS1 as compared to sh–Scr cells. The statistical method used was the two–tailed paired t test. (E). Nanostring immune profiling showed that Kaiso repressed several genes, including THBS1, based on the downregulated gene expression in sh–Scr cells.

Kaiso directly regulates the expression of the tumor suppressor, THBS1. (A) Kaiso depletion resulted in significantly higher expression of THBS1 in exosomes from MDA-MB-231 cells, whereas the expression of CD47 and SIRPA was decreased. The statistical method used was the two-tailed paired t test. (B) As consistent with exosomes, both gene expression, and protein expression analysis revealed that Kaiso depletion resulted in a significantly high expression of THBS1 in MDA-MB-231 cells, whereas the expressions of CD47 and SIRPA were decreased. The statistical method used was the two-tailed paired t test. (C) Schematic illustration of the THBS1 promoter showing the Kaiso binding site on the CpG island. Two oligonucleotides were designed as CHIP primers from two different sites where Kaiso binds in a methylation-dependent manner. (D,E) CHIP experiments with MDA-MB-231 chromatin demonstrated that Kaiso binds to the methylated region of the THBS1 promoter and that 5-aza reversed the binding. Both PCR and gel electrophoresis confirmed the binding. Input, 1% input DNA; Positive, anti-RNA Polymerase II and Negative, normal mouse IgG; 5-aza, 5-aza-2′-deoxycytidine. The uncropped blots are shown in Supplementary File S1.

Kaiso depletion attenuates the growth of TNBC cells. (A) Kaiso-depleted MDA-MB-231 xenograft tumors (sh-Kaiso) showed delayed tumor onset (~4 weeks) and development compared to control MDA-MB-231 (sh-Scr) xenograft tumors, as demonstrated by time-course analysis of tumor volumes in nude mice. The statistical method used was the F test to compare variances between sh-Scr and sh-Kaiso groups (** statistically significant p < 0.01) (B) sh-Kaiso cells also developed smaller tumor sizes and reduced tumor weights as compared to sh-Scr cells. The statistical method used was the two-tailed paired t test. (C) IHC-stained images of xenograft tissues with Kaiso, CD47, and SIRPA antibodies showed a marked decrease in intensity but an increase in THBS1 in Kaiso-depleted (sh-Kaiso) tumor tissues. (D,E) Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining showed significantly increased phagocytosis (green arrow showed phagocytosis) in sh-Kaiso xenograft tissues as compared to sh-Scr xenograft tissues. The statistical method used was the two-tailed paired t test. (F) Immunofluorescence images of xenograft tissues showed that sh-Kaiso tissues have a high intensity of CD86 and a low intensity of CD206, an M1 macrophage marker, whereas Kaiso control sh-Scr tissues had a low intensity of CD86 and a high intensity of CD206, an M2 macrophage marker.

Exosomes act as cell-to-cell communication vehicles influencing MCF7 cells following treatment with exosomes. (A) Internalization of exosomes from MDA-MB-231 cells was confirmed by the uptake of exosomes in recipient MCF7 cells by using PKH67 polylinker dye (white arrows highlight exosome in Z-stack image). (B) MCF7 cells treated with Kaiso-depleted exosomes showed low expression of Kaiso, CD47, and SIRPA, but high expression of THBS1. The statistical method used was one-way ANOVA. (C) Polarization of THP1 cells using exosomes from Kaiso-depleted cells was assessed to demonstrate the influence of exosomes as communication vehicles by observing the expression of M1 and M2 macrophage markers. (D) Consistent with sh-Kaiso xenograft tissues (Figure 4F), THP1 cells treated with exosomes from sh-Kaiso cells showed a high expression of CD86 and a low expression of CD206, a marker for M1 macrophages; in contrast, THP1 cells treated with exosomes from sh-Scr cells showed a low expression of CD86 and a high expression of CD206, a marker for M2 macrophages. The statistical method used was the two-tailed paired t test. (E,F) BMDM treated with sh-SCR and sh-Kaiso cells showed higher phagocytosis (white arrow indicates phagocytosis) of sh-kaiso cells as compared to sh-SCR cells. The statistical method used was the two-tailed paired t test.

TCGA data validate the increased expression of Kaiso and CD47, with decreased expression of THBS1 correlating with TNBC breast cancer patients and linked with AA race. (A) High expression of Kaiso, CD47, SIRPA, and low expression of THBS1 was correlated with Basal-like BRCA and ER-negative patients. (B) Kaiso, CD47, and SIRPA expressed highly in Basal like patients as compared to non-basal patients, whereas THBS1 expression was deceased in Basal like patients as compared to non-basal patients. (C) The higher level of protein for Kaiso, CD47, and SIRPA and lower level of THBS1 observed in BRCA TNBC samples as compared to other subtypes collected from the PANCAN RPPA dataset. (D) The higher level of protein for Kaiso, CD47, and SIRPA in AA patient samples as compared to other races. (E) TCGA survival analysis identified that a high level of combined Kaiso, CD47, and SIRPA with a low level of THBS1 (Red line) indicate even poorer patient survival in AA BRCA patients compared to a low level of combined Kaiso, CD47, and SIRPA with a high level of THBS1 (Dark blue line).

Personalised marker model (rubber “crown” set up). FH: frontal head marker; CH: central head marker; PH: posterior head marker; RAH and LAH: right and left anterior head markers; RPH and LPH: right and left posterior head markers; RAc and LAc: right and left acromion; SJN: sternum jugular notch. Two bullet-like laser pointers, projecting a red light beam, are fixed on a pair of glasses tightened posteriorly. The participant wears a sleeping mask to prevent visual cues. The subject’s gaze points downwards in the bottom panel (horizontal view) and rightwards in the right panel (sagittal view). The subject’s spatial orientation can also be inferred by looking at the corresponding marker labels.

Panel (a) shows the vectors chosen to assess the head’s positions in the three classic anatomical orthogonal planes: RAH;LAH→ allows evaluation of the rotation movements in the horizontal plane, PH;FH→ for flexion-extension movements in the sagittal plane, and SJN;CH→ for side-bending movements in the frontal plane. Panel (b) provides a graphical visualisation of the planar JPEs calculated with respect to each plane: TP and RP refer to the vector “fixed” in its coordinates at the Target Position (TP; the one set by the operator during the assisted movement) and at the Reached Position (RP; the one attained during the actively performed movement), respectively. In this representation, examples of movements are shown separately in the frontal, sagittal, and horizontal views. Subject’s spatial orientation as in Figure 1.

Representative synchronous tracings of the time course of the angles between RAH;LAH→, PH;FH→, and SJN;CH→ versors and the Neutral Head Position during four consecutive trials (i.e., flexion, followed by right rotation, extension, and left rotation). From top to bottom, horizontal RAH;LAH→ (referring to right and left neck rotations), vertical PH;FH→ (referring to neck flexion and extension), and horizontal SJN;CH→ (referring to neck right and left side-bending) coordinates are shown. On the ordinate, coordinates are expressed in angular degrees (°). On the abscissa, time is reported (in seconds). The vertical lines indicate time events manually identified during the analysis for a right rotation movement. The grey-shaded area highlights the intended component (horizontal coordinate) during a right rotation trial. The pink-shaded areas highlight the synchronous unintended components of flexion-extension and side-bending in the second and third panels from the top, respectively. For each trial, two repetitions were performed in the same direction (an operator-assisted repetition, followed by an autonomous repetition). For each repetition, a plateau in the tracings was manually identified. The TP or the RP corresponded to the mean, computed over two seconds, of the versor trace in the mid of the plateau (vertical segments). If more plateaus were present, the furthest plateau from the ideal target (for TP) or from the TP (for RP) was considered.

The figure illustrates the target reference points (0,0 coordinates), the Target Positions (TPs) and Reached Positions (RPs) in a representative sequence of 32 repetitions (16 trials) performed by a participant–operator couple. Axes give angular errors in degrees. TP is the head’s final position when the participant’s head was moved by the operator; RP is the position reached autonomously by the participant. Each small dot corresponds to the TP (blue) or the RP (red) of a single repetition. Big dots with a bold border represent the average of the four repetitions. In a trial, the operator first rotated the participant’s head from the neutral head position to the target reference point (30° for left or right rotation, 25° for flexion or extension). If the operator was errorless, TP coincided with the target reference point (0,0 coordinates). Then, after the operator-assisted repetition, the participant autonomously turned their head from the neutral head position to TP. If the participant was errorless, RP coincided with TP. Thus, if both the operator and the participant were errorless, RP and TP coincided with the target reference point. To stress, the operator had to be accurate and precise with respect to the target reference point, while the participant had to be accurate and precise with respect to TP. For each trial, OPE was calculated as the difference in degrees between the coordinates of the TP and 0,0. Participants completed (in quasi-random sequence) neck extensions (upper graph), left-right rotations (middle graphs), and neck flexions (lower graph). These intended directions are indicated in red shaded background. Squared graphs: TPs and RPs in the sagittal (y) and horizontal (x) planes, in degrees (°). Dotted circumferences in the square graphs encase a 5° radius centred on the target reference point. Rectangular graphs: (unintended) side-bending rotations in the frontal plane, in degrees (°). CW: clockwise from the participant’s (and the operator’s) perspective; CCW: counterclockwise. Horizontal dashed segments in the rectangular graphs mark 5° from the target reference point. It is worth stressing that JPE was the difference between RP and TP from the same trial. Take, for instance, the extension task (upper square panel). The average of the operator’s errors (big blue dots, bold border) was about 4° towards the left in rotation, 1° in extension, and 2° in CW (e.g., towards the participant’s right) side bending (top rectangular panel). Regarding the participant’s autonomous repetitions, the big red dot (average value marked with bold borders) indicates the positions reached by the participant with respect to the 0,0 coordinates, i.e., the positions “seen” by the optoelectronic system. However, the error is computed with respect to the TPs (i.e., the operator-assisted repetitions). For instance, in the top square graph, the average position shown by the participant is very close to the 0,0 coordinates, but it is rather far from the position requested by the operator. There, an error of about 3° was found.

The mean fold-change between unin. tissue and tumor was calculated by dividing the mean lipid level in tumors by the mean lipid level in unin. tissues and shown between parenthesis next to the corresponding unadjusted p-values (Fisher’s LSD; Prism). The lower limit of p- and q-value calculations was set to 1.0 × 10−15 (Prism), so no values are reported lower than this limit. For p-adjusted (q) values corrected for multiple comparisons using the FDR (Q = 0.05) and the two-step controlling procedure of BKY, see Supplementary Table S21. For panel (E), the y-axis is in log2 scale. Alterations considered significant (α ≤ 0.05) are in bold text.

Race-dependent pan-cancer analysis of differences in the unin. and tumor tissues of AA and NHW subjects with LUAD, COAD, HCC, EEC, and HNSCC. Data from AA and NHW presented in Figure 2 and Figure 3 were pooled by race, sphingolipid class, and acyl chain length and analyzed to examine differences between the unin. and tumor tissues of AA and NHW with pan-cancer. In each panel (A–E), the upper graphs are box plots showing medians (black line) and whiskers of min to max (top), and the bottom graphs are plots of the 95% family-wise significance and confidence intervals for predicted means difference (means diff.) calculated following ANOVA. The mean fold-change between unin. tissue and tumor was calculated by dividing the calculated mean lipid level in tumors by the mean lipid level in unin. tissues and shown between parenthesis next to the corresponding unadjusted p-values (Fisher’s LSD; Prism). The lower limit of p- and q-value calculations was set to 1.0 × 10−15 (Prism), so no values are reported lower than this limit. For p-adjusted (q) values corrected for multiple comparisons using the FDR (Q = 0.05) and the two-step controlling procedure of BKY, see Supplementary Table S22.
