Table 3 TAM and DC subpopulations in TIME identified by scRNA-seq

From: Unravelling immune microenvironment features underlying tumor progression in the single-cell era

Tumor type

Sample

Subsets

Key findings

Ref

Colorectal cancer

Tumor and adjacent tissue precancerous tissue

TAM (SPP1+, CXCL5+, C1QC+, and CD55+)

These subgroups have both pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory effects

[73]

Clear Cell Renal Carcinoma

Tumor and adjacent tissues

TAM (C1Q+TREM2+APOE+)

The group of TAM leads to tumor recurrence

[160]

Ovarian cancer

Tumor

TAM(NR1H2, IRF8, and CD274)

This macrophage cluster has anti-tumor effects

[117]

Hepatocellular carcinoma

Tumor and adjacent tissues and ascites and peripheral blood, and lymph nodes

CD74+ TAM

The CD74+TAM increases the infiltration of CD8+ CTL and enhances effector functions in HCC

[161]

Prostate Cancer

Tumor and adjacent tissues

TAM (SLC40A1, PLAC8, and FCN1)

The group of TAMs has a poor prognosis in patients

[162]

Hepatocellular carcinoma

Tumor and adjacent tissues and ascites and peripheral blood, and lymph nodes

LAMP3+ DC

The group of DCs has the potential to migrate from tumors to LNs

[94]

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Tumor

CLEC9A+ DC

This cell population is expected to be a new therapeutic target
