Association between the distribution of tumor immune cells and expression of ferroptosis-related genes (FRGs) in head neck squamous cell carcinoma. (a) ATG5 was positively associated with the proportion of CD4 resting memory T cells. (c) FTH1 was positively associated with the proportion of M0 macrophages. (b, d–f) FTH1 was negatively correlated with the proportion of resting dendritic cells, M1 macrophages, activated natural killer cells, and activated CD4 memory T cells. (g, h) MAP3K5 was positively associated with the proportion of naive B cells and resting mast cells. (i–l) SOCS1 was positively correlated with the proportion of naive B cells, activated CD4 memory T cells, and CD8 T cells but negatively correlated with the proportion of resting dendritic cells.
