Expression of immunomodulatory genes in UPS tumor models. (A) Heat map of quantitative RT-PCR data analyzing gene expression of tumors matching those used for immunoprofiling in Figs. 3 and 4. Each column represents an individual tumor. Values are relative to the average expression of UPS primary tumors, with increased expression shown in pink and decreased expression shown in blue. Data analyzed by one-way ANOVA with a p-value < 0.05 denoted by a star. n = 5–6 tumors per group (B) MHCI expression is significantly elevated in KRIMS-2 tumors compared to UPS primary and KRIMS-1 tumors. Average mRNA fold change (2-ΔΔCT) ± SEM. (CG) Correlation of MHCI expression and T cell populations using simple linear regression to analyze matching samples. There is strong positive correlation between MHCI levels and CD8 + T cells (E) and Tregs (G) in UPS tumors. R2 indicates goodness of fit. A p-value < 0.05 indicates a slope significantly different than zero. n = 16 mice per correlation analysis.
