Figure 2. Aberrantly activated TGF BETA signaling pathway in cervical cancer fibroblasts promotes proliferation.
(A) Fibroblast TGF BETA SIGNALING AUCell score in normal and tumor groups. (B) Expression of TGF BETA SIGNALING-related genes in fibroblasts in normal and tumor groups. (C–D) Proposed time-series analysis of fibroblasts. (E) Cell density distribution of fibroblasts with pseudo-timeline in normal and CC groups. (F) The expression heatmap of TGF BETA SIGNALING related genes on the pseudo-time trajectory. (G) The expression heatmap of fibroblast proliferation characterized genes with pseudo-timeline trajectories. (H) Heatmap of cell proliferation characterized genes expression level with pseudo-timeline trajectory. (I) Expression heatmap of cell cycle characterized genes with pseudo-timeline trajectories. (J) Violin plot of expressions of apoptosis inhibition related genes in high and low TGF BETA SIGNALING score groups. (K) Violin plot of expressions of cell proliferation-related genes in the two subgroups.
