Identifying the tumor-associated macrophage of lung adenocarcinoma reveals immune landscape through omics data integration.

ABSTRACT: The tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) play a crucial role in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), which can cause the proliferation, migration and invasion of tumor cells. In particular, TAMs mainly regulate changes in the tumor microenvironment thereby contributing to tumorigenesis and progression. Recently, an increasing number of studies are using single-cell RNA (Sc-RNA) sequencing to investigate changes in the composition and transcriptomics of the tumor microenvironment. We obtained Sc-RNA sequencing data of LUAD from GEO database and transcriptome data with clinical information of LUAD patients from TCGA database. A group of important genes in the state transition of TAMs was identified by analyzing TAMs at the single-cell level, while 5 TAM-related prognostic genes were obtained by omics d
