The GSVA analysis was performed using “GSVA” package in R. The gene sets using in GSVA analysis were downloaded from GSEA molecular database6. T cell immunoreaction and PD1-related immunosuppressive pathways were extracted and used for GSVA analysis. As for GSEA analysis (Mootha et al., 2003; Subramanian et al., 2005), we construct a gemcitabine resistance related gene set by comparing the DEGs between the gemcitabine resistance population and main tumor cell population in GSE 36563 dataset and using genes with p value < 0.05 and | Log2 fold change | > 1. The gemcitabine resistance related gene set was shown in Supplementary Table 4.
