Fig. 5. Correlation analysis of cellular composition, tumor subtypes, and ITH.
Cellular composition analysis of cell type between patient groups for a neutrophils and b macrophage subtypes. Two-sided unpaired Wilcoxon test was performed to compare between groups for tests in a and b (LUSCn: n = 16, LUADn: n = 6, LUADm: n = 12 for both a and b. **p ≤ 0.01; *p ≤ 0.05; ns: p > 0.05). The lower hinge, middle line, and upper hinger of boxplots represented the first, second, and third quartiles of the distributions. The upper and lower whiskers corresponded to the largest and smallest data points within the 1.5 interquartile range. All actual data values were also plotted as dots alongside the boxplots. c Survival analysis for tissue-resident macrophage markers (MARCO and CD207) of LUAD and LUSC. d Correlation analysis between ITHGEX and the cellular composition of patients. Only significantly associated cell types were shown. The tumor subtypes (LUAD, LUSC, and NSCLC) were shown in different colors and p-values were obtained by two-side t-tests (LUAD: n = 18, LUSC: n = 22, and NSCLC: n = 2).
