Moreover, analysis of RNA-seq data from patients with NSCLC revealed a positive correlation between the gene expression of MARCO and the expression of various genes associated with immunosuppressive TAMs, including CD68, CD163, macrophage scavenger receptor 1 (MSR1), IL4R, TGFB1, and IL10 (La Fleur et al., 2018). This evidence concerns the gene TGFB1 and non-small cell lung carcinoma.
