Investigating the molecular mechanisms and clinical potential of APO+ endothelial cells associated with PANoptosis in the tumor microenvironment of hepatocellular carcinoma using single-cell sequencing data
This study systematically mapped the cellular landscape of the TME in HCC patients and explored the differences in differentiation trajectories, metabolic pathways, and other aspects of subpopulations with high PANoptosis scores. Additionally, the study elucidated the potential molecular mechanisms through which APO+ ECs inhibit HCC cell proliferation and improve prognosis and immunotherapeutic efficacy in HCC patients. This research provides new insights for clinical prognosis evaluation and immunotherapy strategies in HCC.
