We also identified 6 clusters of senescent T-cells (Figure 3C) characterised by increased NK marker expression (KLRG1, KLRB1) and senescent markers (HCST, HMGB1) [34], which were significantly elevated in the tumour samples compared to the normal pancreas (Figure S11C), suggesting this is a unique characteristic of the tumour microenvironment and is not solely a result of the age of the cohort. This evidence concerns the gene HMGB1 and neoplasm.
