Figure 4. Correlation of PTGIS expression with immune infiltration level in LUSC (lung squamous cell carcinoma), OV (ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma) and STAD (stomach adenocarcinoma). (A) PTGIS expression was significantly negatively related to tumor purity and had significant positive correlations with the levels of infiltrating B cells, CD8+ T cells, CD4+ T cells, macrophages, neutrophils, and dendritic cells in LUSC (n = 496). (B) PTGIS expression was significantly negatively related to tumor purity and the levels of infiltrating B cells but has no significant correlations with the levels of infiltrating CD8+ T cells, CD4+ T cells, neutrophils, and dendritic cells in OV. PTGIS expression showed a very weak positive correlation with macrophage infiltration in OV (n = 537). (C) PTGIS expression had no significant correlations with tumor purity and the levels of infiltrating B cells but had significant positive correlations with the levels of infiltrating CD8+ T cells, CD4+ T cells, macrophages, neutrophils, and dendritic cells in STAD (n= 407).
