HCC: hepatocellular carcinoma; TAM: tumor-associated macrophage; Th1: T-helper 1 cells; Th2: T-helper 2 cells; Th17: T-helper 17 cells; Tfh: follicular helper T cell; Treg: regulatory T cell. Note: partial cor (partial correlation coefficient) represents the correlation coefficient between the CDCA3 expression and gene markers of infiltrating immune cells; purity represents the correlation adjusted by purity; none represents the correlation without adjustment; ∗p < 0.01, ∗∗p < 0.001, and ∗∗∗p < 0.0001.
