ECM/stromal and CD8 T cell-derived immune activation gene signatures are associated with poor prognosis in MPM. (A) Boxplots showing extracellular matrix (ECM)/stromal signature scores across various cancer types in TCGA. (B) Correlation analysis of the individual genes in ECM/stromal and immune activation (IA) gene sets across the TCGA MPM cohort. Transcriptomic data of treatment naïve MPM patients were obtained from TCGA (https://portal.gdc.cancer.gov/projects/TCGA). The numbers in the correlogram indicate the correlation coefficient (Spearman). Significant positive (in blue) and negative (in red) correlations are shown, with color intensity proportional to the correlation coefficient. Non-significant correlations retain a blank background. The p-value < 0.05 is considered significant. (C-D) Unadjusted Kaplan-Meier curves showing overall survival (OS) (C) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) (D) by the ratio of ECM/stromal to IA gene expression in treatment naïve MPM.
