Furthermore, to elucidate the functional associations between ECs, CAFs and 14 functional processes of cancer cells, Pearson correlation analysis was used, and the results demonstrated that general, lymphatic, and microvascular ECs were negatively correlated with the cell cycle, DNA damage/repair, hypoxia, and stemness, whereas CAFs were positively correlated with angiogenesis, apoptosis, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), hypoxia, inflammation, invasion, metastasis, and proliferation (Figure 2G). The gene discussed is TBX1; the disease is cancer.
