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.
