Article Title: TLR7 induces autophagy in non-small cell lung cancer tumor cells and influences anti-tumors responses in patients

doi: 10.21037/tlcr-2025-aw-1173

Figure Lengend Snippet: Identification of genes correlated with autophagy in lung tumor cells. (A) Strategy of our analysis. A public data cohort of 516 adenocarcinoma NSCLC patients from TCGA (TCGA-LUAD) was used, and a WGCNA analysis was applied to the cohort. Correlation studies were realized between the different module and the autophagy genes from the HAD (232 genes) and the autophagy GC (99 genes). (B) Assessment of Correlation Strength in Modules from HAD and GC: this evaluation ranges from weakly correlated modules, depicted in green, to strongly correlated modules, illustrated in red. (C) Representation of GS for autophagy relative to its MM in the blue module. (D) Association network of genes in the blue module with an MM >0.8, analyzed using STRING software. Nodes with a GS >0.5 or GS >0.6 are depicted in red and dark red, respectively. (E) Selection of the top 10 genes in the blue module with a node degree >30, ranked according to their GS score. (F) A public data cohort of 38 lung tumor patients ( GSE111907 ), each with sorted cell types from the TME, was utilized. Only adenocarcinoma NSCLC patients were selected for analysis (n=22). Correlation studies between autophagy genes and TLRs genes expression were conducted for all cell types, including malignant, pan-immune, fibroblast, and endothelial cells.
