Unveiling the Noncanonical Autophagy-Independent Role of ATG7 and ATG9B in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC)

Figure 2

ATG9B was negatively correlated with HNSCC EMT in TCGA. (a) GO analysis of different expression genes with a fold change of >1.5 or <0.667 and an based on ATG9B mRNA expression. (b) KEGG analysis of different expression genes with a fold change of >1.5 or <0.667 and an based on ATG9B mRNA expression. (c) GSEA analysis showed that ATG9B was negatively correlated with HNSCC EMT. (d–g) The expression of ATG9B was negatively correlated with EMT marker genes. (h–j) The expression of ATG9B was strongly correlated with the keratin family.
