Article Title: Proliferative exhausted CD8+ T cells exacerbate long-lasting anti-tumor effects in human papillomavirus-positive head and neck squamous cell carcinoma
doi: 10.7554/elife.82705
Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 5. The expression of CDK4 gene in P-Tex2 cluster is associated with the treatment outcomes of HPV+ head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients. (a) Single-cell transcriptomic profiling of HNSCC tumor microenvironment (TME). Twenty cell clusters are identified, colored by cell types. (b) The proliferation status of P-Tex and epithelial cells in violin plot. (c) The kernel density estimate distribution of proliferation markers (CDK4 and MKI67) and epithelial cancer cell markers (KRT15 and CD24) in uniform manifold approximation and projection (UMAP) plots. (d) The overall survival rate of HPV+/HPV- HNSCC patients in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) cohort related to the expression levels of CDK4 gene, adjusted for age and gender. (e) The proportion of P-Texs, T-Tex, and TEFF clusters in HPV+ and HPV- samples in TCGA cohort by using the deconvolution algorithm; statistics were assessed by Chi-square tests. Marker genes that were used to define cell clusters in (a) are deconvolved into the TCGA data to obtain the proportion of P-Texs, T-Tex, and Teff clusters in the TCGA cohort. (f) The cell viability of P-Tex and cancer epithelial cells assessed by CCK8 experiment after Abemaciclib treated in vitro. ***: p<0.001, **: p<0.01, *: p<0.05.
