Code and data for: Distinct tumor genomic signatures underlie canine macrophage polarization
Abstract
Distinct tumor genomic signatures underlie canine macrophage polarization This dataset accompanies the manuscript "Distinct tumor genomic signatures underlie canine macrophage polarization." It contains cytokine assay data and RNA-sequencing analysis outputs investigating how canine cancer cell line gene expression correlates with macrophage polarization capacity. The dataset includes: (1) raw cytokine concentrations (CCL2, VEGF, TGF-β, TNF-α, IL-8, IL-10, KC-like) from macrophages stimulated with tumor-conditioned media from 25 canine cancer cell lines; (2) Spearman's rank correlation results between tumor transcriptomic features and cytokine secretion; (3) differential gene expression results comparing high- versus low-polarizing cell lines; (4) gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) outputs; and (5) validation data for two key findings: MVB12A expression associated with VEGF stimulation via exosome-mediated mechanisms, and CCL3 expression associated with TNF-α secretion in histiocytic sarcoma cell lines.
