t-distributed stochastic neighbour embedding (t-SNE) plot.

Purple represents Macrophages, orange represents Monocytes, red represents B cells, blue represents CD8 + T cells and green represents Fibroblasts.</p

The feature plots of each cell type marker genes.

Green represents high expression level and grey represents low expression level.</p

PCA clustering diagram and correlation heatmap of gene expression levels in RNA-seq data.

The x-label represents the variance contribution rate of principal component 1, and the y-label represents the variance contribution rate of principal component 2. The color of the heatmap indicates the correlation of gene expression levels in the sample, green represents low correlation and red represents high correlation. (A)-(B) GSE94019. (C)-(D) GSE102485.</p

The expression level heatmaps of the top 10 DEGs.

(A) The top 10 DEGs in each cluster. (B) The top 10 DEGs in each cell type.</p

Volcano plots of two RNA-Seq data.

Red points represent up-regulated genes and blue points represented down-regulated genes. Gray points represent genes with no significant difference. (A) GSE94019. (B) GSE102485.</p

Results of validation using the GSE60436 dataset.

(A) A volcan plot showing POSTN and CD44 are significantly upregulated, but ICAM1 is not significantly changed. Red points represented up-regulated genes and blue points represented down-regulated genes, grey points represented genes with no significant difference. (B-D) Boxplots showing that POSTN and CD44 significantly upregulated, no significant change in ICAM1.</p

The heatmaps and regulation network of regulators.

(A) The heatmap of active regulators in each cell types. Red represents high regulatory activity and blue represents low activity. (B) The regulation network among 28 regulons and 3 key cellular communication genes. Diamond represents regulons and circle represents key cellular communication genes. (C) The heatmap of top five regulons in each cell types. Red represents high regulatory activity and blue represents low regulatory activity.</p

Gene-gene co-expression heatmaps and protein interaction network.

(A) The co-expression heatmaps showing R values (the lower triangle) and P-values (the upper triangle), X targets means P-value > 0.05. Red represents positive correlation and blue represents negative correlation. (B) The MCL cluster analysis showing that POSTN, MYLK, ITGVA and ITGB5 are grouped into the same cluster, while CD44, ICAM1 and HIF1A are grouped into another cluster.</p
