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

Figure 6

ATG7 was correlated with high PD-L1 expression in myeloid cells in the HNSCC TIME. (a–d) Correlation between ATG7 and noncancer immune cells in the TIMER, MCPcounter, EPIC, and CIBERSORT databases according to TCGA. (e) ATG7 was mainly expressed in myeloid cells in GSE103322. (f) The high proportion of myeloid cell in tumors was correlated with poor overall survival-rates in the CIBERSORT and TIMER databases.
