Identification of Novel Biomarkers for Predicting Prognosis and Immunotherapy Response in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma Based on ceRNA Network and Immune Infiltration Analysis

Figure 5

Analysis of the correlations of significant genes in the ceRNA network and gene risk score with immune cell infiltration. (a) Heatmap displaying correlations between prognostic immune cells and key genes in the ceRNA network. (b–e) Expression of CFL2, ITGA5, KDELC1, and TMC7 was negatively associated with infiltration of naïve B cells. (f–i) ANLN, ITGA5, KIF23, and TMC7 expression was negatively associated with Tregs. (j–l) Pearson’s correlation analysis was performed to evaluate the associations between key immune cells and gene risk score.
