Indicated gene expressions were reanalyzed by using GSE76056. Cell clusters of CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, NK cells, myeloid cells, and CD19+ cells were determined by CD4/CD3E, CD8A/CD3E, NCAM1(CD56)/GZMB, ITGAM(CD11B)/ITGAX(CD11C)/HLA-DR/CD14/CD163, and CD19 expression, respectively.

A schematic model of the role of tumor-derived extracellular vesicle (TEV) and CD300a in tumor immunity.

RNA-containing TEV is incorporated into the endosomes in dendritic cells (DCs), where phosphatidylserine (PS) on TEV binds to CD300a and inhibits the TLR3–TRIF–IRF3 signaling pathway initiated by TEV-derived RNA binding to TLR3, resulting in the decrease in interferon-β (IFN-β) production by DCs and the number of tumor-infiltrating Treg cells. The Treg cells regulate tumor development.
