For example, better survival-related AS of 17 well-known cancer-related genes (1st to 17th ) was associated with larger changes in the numbers of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), natural killer T (NKT), eosinophils, central memory CD4 + T cell (CD4 + Tcm), pericytes, ly endothelial cells, mv endothelial cells, Th1 cells, MEP, endothelial cells, and inflammatory (M1) macrophages, as well as greater changes in stroma score; it was associated with smaller changes in the numbers of CD8 + naïve T-cells, CLP, Th2 cells, and smooth muscle. Here, CD8A is linked to cancer.
