Characterization of SAMD13expression on TME in HCC. The expression of the SAMD13 in non-malignant and malignant cells in HCC was analyzed by Human Liver Browser (A) and scAtlasLC (B). C Correlation analysis of SAMD13 expression with immune infiltration level in HCC. D Comprehensive prognostic value of SAMD13 expression and neutrophil, macrophage, macrophage M0, macrophage M2, and MDSC infiltration levels based on the TIMER algorithm. CAFs cancer-associated fibroblasts, cDC conventional dendritic cell, LSEC liver sinusoidal endothelial cell, LVEC lymphatic vascular endothelial cell, LVECm malignant lymphatic vascular endothelial cell, SAMs scar-associated macrophages, TM tissue monocytes, vSMC vascular smooth muscle cell, TAMs tumor associated macrophages, TECs tumor-associated endothelial cells
