| Summary: | Gastric cancer is one of the common malignant tumors of the digestive system worldwide, posing a serious threat to human health. A growing number of studies have demonstrated the important role that lipid droplets play in promoting cancer progression. However, few studies have systematically evaluated the role of lipid droplet metabolism-related genes (LDMRGs) in patients with gastric cancer.
We identified two distinct molecular subtypes in the TCGA-STAD cohort based on LDMRGs expression. We then constructed risk prediction scoring models in the TCGA-STAD cohort by lasso regression analysis and validated the model with the GSE15459 and GSE66229 cohorts. Moreover, we constructed a nomogram prediction model by cox regression analysis and evaluated the predictive efficacy of the model by various methods in STAD. Finally, we identified the key gene in LDMRGs, ABCA1, and performed a systematic multi-omics analysis in gastric cancer.
Two molecular subtypes were identified based on LDMRGs expression with different survival prognosis and immune infiltration levels. lasso regression models were effective in predicting overall survival (OS) of gastric cancer patients at 1, 3 and 5 years and were validated in the GEO database with consistent results. The nomogram prediction model incorporated additional clinical factors and prognostic molecules to improve the prognostic predictive value of the current TNM staging system. ABCA1 was identified as a key gene in LDMRGs and multi-omics analysis showed a strong correlation between ABCA1 and the prognosis and immune status of patients with gastric cancer.
This study reveals the characteristics and possible underlying mechanisms of LDMRGs in gastric cancer, contributing to the identification of new prognostic biomarkers and providing a basis for future research. |
