CD163+ Tumor-Associated Macrophages Correlated with Poor Prognosis and Cancer Stem Cells in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Figure 3
Correlation of CD68 and CD163 with SOX2, ALDH1, and CD44 in human OSCC tissue array. (a) The expression of CD68 had significant correlations with SOX2 (, ) and ALDH1 (, ) by using the Pearson’s correlation coefficient test in human OSCC tissue array. (b) The expression of CD163 was closely correlated with SOX2 (, ), ALDH1 (, ), and CD68 (, ) in human OSCC tissue array. (c) Hierarchical clustering of CD68 and CD163 with SOX2, ALDH1, and CD44 in human OSCC tissue array. It shows that the expression of tumor-associated macrophage markers CD68 and CD163 is more close to expression of SOX2.
