Underexpressed ETC genes were associated with tumor metastasis process and higher immune responds. (A) Gene expression of ETC genes. Positive logFC represents higher expression and negative logFC represents lower expression in mRCC. (B) A heatmap showing gene expression of each sample. The cell types were shown blow. (C) The differential enriched pathway based on GSVA result. (D) The GSVA score of each sample in differential enriched pathway based on GSVA result. (E,F) The GSEA results of TCGA sample based on ETC gene expression. FC, fold change; mRCC, metastatic renal cell carcinoma; pRCC, primary renal cell carcinoma; ETC, electron transport chain; GSVA, gene set variation analysis; GSEA, gene set enrichment analysis; TCGA, The Cancer Genome Atlas.
