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

Figure 3

ATG9B was negatively correlated with HNSCC EMT in the single-cell database (GSE103322). (a) Different clusters of cancer cells in GSE103322. (b) Expression of ATG9B in cancer cells. (c–e) Correlation of ATG9B with KRT23, 78, and 80 in cancer cells. (f) ATG9B was mainly expressed in cluster 13 of cancer cells. (g) GO analysis of highly expressed genes in cluster 13 cancer cells. (h–k) ATG9B was coexpressed with KRT23, 78, and 80 in cluster 13 cancer cells.
