Using the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA) data set, we correlated GPNMB expression with the TAM marker CD204 and OPN, the macrophage/monocytic marker CD68 and CD14, the leukocytic marker PTRC/CD45, the immunosuppressive macrophage marker CD163 and microglia specific marker Hexosaminidase Subunit Beta (HEXB), Transmembrane Protein 119 (TMEM119) and purinergic receptor P2Y12 (P2RY12). This evidence concerns the gene TMEM119 and central nervous system cancer.
