Fig. 4. Significant tumor receptors for patient’s prognosis.
a The significantly related ligand-receptor interactions of mostly communicated cell types. b Highly communicated ligand-receptor interactions between fibroblasts and tumor cells. c t-SNE plot shows the expressions of active tumor receptors including ITGAV, ITGB8, SDC1, SDC4, and CD44. d The upper panel shows the Kaplan-Meier (KM) overall survival curves for TCGA GBM patients, which are stratified by the median expression of the active tumor receptors. The lower panel shows the KM overall survival curves for GBM patients, which are stratified by the median expression of the active tumor receptors considering tumor purity. The y-axis represents the probability of overall survival, and the x-axis is time in days. e The upper panel shows the Kaplan-Meier (KM) progression-free survival (PFS) curves for GBM patients, which are stratified by the median expression of the active tumor receptors. The lower panel shows the KM PFS curves for GBM patients, which are stratified by the median expression of the active tumor receptors considering tumor purity. The y-axis represents the probability of PFS, and the x-axis is time in days.
