M2 macrophage-related molecular subtypes and prognostic index for prostate cancer patients through integrating single-cell and bulk RNA sequencing analysis
Prostate cancer (PCa) is considered as an age-related disease and accounts for the most prevalence of urinary malignancies in men.1 We previously analyzed the cellular landscape of tumor microenvironment in PCa patients, where we found that cancer-related fibroblasts might play an important role in tumorigenesis and the development of PCa and tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) could function synergistically with them.2 Thus, we further integrated single-cell and bulk RNA sequencing with meta-analysis to specify the prognostic effect of TAM on PCa and construct molecular subgroups and predictive index to guide clinical practice.
