Correlation analysis of CDCA3 expression and infiltration levels of immune cells in HCC tissues using the TIMER database. The expression of CDCA3 was positively correlated with tumor purity and infiltration levels of immune cells in HCC tissues. The abundances of six infiltrating immune cells included B cells, CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, neutrophils, macrophages, and dendritic cells. Note: purity represents the tumor purity; partial cor represents the correlation coefficient between the infiltrating levels of immune cells and the expression of CDCA3; the higher the value of partial cor, the stronger the correlation coefficient; p < 0.05 was statistically significant.
