To explore the differences in immune cell infiltration between Tie2+/CD14+ and Tie2−/CD14+ CRC tissues, the CIBERSORTx analytical tool [73] was employed to assess 22 transcriptomic profiles (10 Tie2+/CD14+ and 12 Tie2−/CD14+) retrieved from the publicly available Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) dataset GSE41568 [74]. Here, TEK is linked to colorectal carcinoma.
