EMT-TFs are significantly positively correlated with stromal and immune cell abundance in multiple cancer types. (A) Heatmap illustrating Spearman correlation coefficients for selected EMT-TFs and ESTIMATE stromal score across five cancer types (breast (BRCA), colorectal (COAD), lung (LUAD), prostate (PST) and pancreatic (PDAC) adenocarcinoma. (B) Heatmap illustrating Spearman correlation coefficients for selected EMT-TFs and ESTIMATE immune score across same five cancer types. (C) Scatterplot illustrating correlation between ZEB1 expression and stromal score in BRCA dataset. Table shows correlation coefficients for both ER+ and ER− subsets. (D) Comparison of immunohistochemistry-estimated percentage of stromal cells between patients with less or greater than median ZEB1 (z score = −0.3026) mRNA expression (n = 1078 for all BRCA analyses).
