Among the different components of the breast cancer microenvironment are adipocytes, which are mainly composed of differentiated adipocytes and adipose progenitors. The role of obesity in tumor progression has become a key topic in clinical studies, but the mechanics of this are still misunderstood. There is significant evidence of serum amyloid (SAA1), an acute-phase protein, being heavily expressed in inflamed, septic conditions. VTCN1 and VSIR, members of the immunoglobulin family, are key players in T-cell regulation. The present study investigates the differentially expressed genes caused by adipose-conditioned media on the novel triple-negative breast cancer cell lines MDA MB 231 and MDA MB 468. RNA sequencing of adipocyte-conditioned media (ACM)-treated MDA MB 231 and MDA MB 468 cells were analyzed and compared using the gene sequencing enrichment analysis database (GSEA). GSEA was also done on microarray data from obese, non-tumorous breast tissue patients (GSE:33526) to show significantly upregulated immunomodulators. Obesity was also shown to influence gene expression related to immune sensing and evasion in a dataset analysis of basal-like obese patients (GSE:79858). We showed obesity significantly upregulated immunomodulators related to immune suppression in non-tumorous, basal-like patients, as well as in novel basal-like TNBC cell lines.
