Figure Lengend Snippet: Transcriptomic and TME characteristics associated with ECMSig in TCGA-GBM cohort (A) Volcano plot showing DEGs between ECMSig-high and ECMSig-low groups. Red dots: upregulated in high-risk; blue dots: upregulated in low-risk. Benjamini-Hochberg adjusted. (B) Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) plots showing enrichment of hallmark pathways. Pathways enriched in ECMSig-high and ECMSig-low groups are shown with their running enrichment scores (ESs) and ranked gene lists. Benjamini-Hochberg adjusted. (C) Heatmap showing the activity scores of selected oncogenic and tumor-related signaling pathways (rows) across TCGA-GBM samples (columns), annotated by ECMSig group and ECMSig score. Red indicates high activity, blue indicates low activity. ∗ p < 0.05. Wilcoxon signed-rank test. (D) Heatmap depicting the estimated infiltration levels of various immune and stromal cell types (rows) in TCGA-GBM samples (columns), stratified by ECMSig group and score. Red indicates high infiltration, blue indicates low infiltration. Cells significantly highly infiltrated in ECMSig-high are labeled in red, and those high in ECMSig-low group are in blue. ∗q < 0.05, ∗∗q < 0.01, ∗∗∗q < 0.001. Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Benjamini-Hochberg adjusted. (E and F) Scatterplots showing the spearman correlation between ECMSig score and (E) Macrophage_XCELL infiltration score and (F) immune_score_XCELL. The blue line represents the linear regression fit with 95% confidence interval bands. Spearman correlation test.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Single-cell RNA sequencing analysis revealing ECMSig expression across cell types and identification of prognostically relevant cell states in GBM (A) UMAP visualization of major cell types identified in GBM scRNA-seq data. (B) Dot plot showing the scaled average expression (color intensity) and percentage of cells expressing (dot size) canonical marker genes for each major cell type. (C) Dot plot showing the scaled average expression and percentage of cells expressing the seven ECMSig genes across major cell types. (D) UMAP plots showing the expression levels of individual ECMSig genes and overall ECMSig score across all cells. (E–G) UMAP plots illustrating Scissor-identified prognostically unfavorable (Scissor_Pos, red dashed circle) and favorable (Scissor_Neg, blue dashed circle; Scissor_Others, gray) cell subpopulations within (E) tumor cells, (F) myeloid cells, and (G) endothelial cells. (H–K) Violin plots comparing ECMSig scores among tumor cells grouped by Scissor status (H) and tumor type (I), and myeloid cells (J) or endothelial cells (K) grouped by Scissor status. ∗∗∗∗ p < 0.0001. Wilcoxon signed-rank test. (L) Dot plot showing differentially expressed marker genes between myeloid Scissor_Pos and other myeloid cells. Dot size indicates the fraction of cells in the group expressing the gene; color indicates average expression level.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Spatial transcriptomic analysis revealing co-localization of ECMSig, hypoxia, Scissor-Positive cells, and pericytes in GBM (A) Spatial feature plots for four GBM samples. Each row represents a sample. Columns show spatial heatmaps of: ECMSig score, hypoxia signature score, tumor Scissor_Pos signature score, myeloid Scissor_Pos signature score, endothelial Scissor Pos signature score, and pericyte marker signature score. Color scale indicates scaled expression or score (low to high). Each dot represents a spatial barcoded spot.
