Fig. 3. Analysis of differentially expressed genes in primary and lung metastases of leiomyosarcoma in six patients.

Fig. 3

Furthermore, correlation analysis was performed between the expression of the identified genes and the number of tumour-infiltrating CD8+ cells. a Volcano plot showing differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in corresponding lung metastases compared to primary leiomyosarcoma. Red dots indicate genes with statistically significant differences (fold-change >1.0, p < 0.001). b Comparison of gene expression levels in primary and lung metastases for each DEG. c Correlation analysis between gene expression levels and the number of tumour-infiltrating CD8+ cells based on immunohistochemical staining for each DEG (n = 12; 6 patients with primary tumours and 6 with lung metastasis). Gene expression levels were converted to natural logarithms. R represents the Pearson’s correlation coefficient. a, b DEG analysis was performed using the R package limma.
