INHBB and cancer: The results suggested that INHBB expression was significantly correlated with macrophages (R = 0.2, p = 2e-05), endothelial cell (R = 0.38, p < 2.2e-16) and cancer-associated fibroblast (R = 0.25, p < 9.3e-08) in GC data from TCGA (Figure 7B, Supplementary Figure S6), these results were also validated using GSE15459 and GSE62254 datasets (Figure 7B).
