Somatic genomic alterations and methylation profiles related to tertiary lymphoid structure (TLS) status in kidney cancer. (A) alteration landscape of 43 primary clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) tumor samples. upper heatmap: sex, patient age, tumor stage, nuclear grade, disease recurrence, overall mortality, and TLS status. (B) genomic alterations in tumorigenic signaling pathways related to ccRCC development in terms of TLS status. The table shows the percentage of samples with alterations in each of the selected signaling pathways.(C) Heatmap of DNA methylation data using selected probes with a DiffScore ranking in the top/bottom 50 of TLS-positive (n=13) vs TLS-negative (n=26) ccRCC tumors.(D) Go analysis using genes hypermethylated in ccRCC tumors with TLSs. BP, biological process; CC, cell component; EGFR, epidermal growth factor receptor; FGFR, fibroblast growth factor receptor; MET, mesenchymal-epithelial transition; MF, molecular function.
