Figure Lengend Snippet: a Expression of AMIGO2, STC2, INHBA, DKK1, VEGFC, SPOCK1, MT1E, and FOXD1 in scRNA-seq UMAP plots. b Bar plot showing cell type proportions under LRS subtypes from scRNA-seq data. c AMIGO2, ranked highly for prognostic importance, was selected for further analysis. d AMIGO2 expression is upregulated in most tumor tissues across various cancers in TCGA pan-cancer dataset. e Evaluation of AMIGO2’s prognostic value (OS) in TCGA pan-cancer dataset. f Correlation analysis between AMIGO2 expression and representative signatures in TCGA pan-cancer dataset. Ns: no significant difference, * P < 0.05, ** P ≤ 0.01, *** P ≤ 0.001.
