PRKAA2 expression correlates with prognosis and immune cell infiltration. A AMPK subunit expression levels in tumor tissues and matched adjacent normal tissues in 14 tumor types were evaluated using the gene set cancer analysis (GSCA) database. An adjusted p-value < 0.05 indicates a significant difference. B The expression of PRKAA2 in tumor tissues and normal controls in the TCGA-LIHC cohort (Wilcoxon rank test; tumor samples: n = 368, normal tissues: n = 50). C Differences in survival probability between patients with high PRKAA2 expression and patients with low PRKAA2 expression in the TCGA-LIHC cohort (log-rank test). D The difference in tumor-infiltrating immune cell scores between patients with high PRKAA2 expression and patients with low PRKAA2 expression in the TCGA-LIHC cohort (n = 368; Wilcoxon test; *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001)
