Abstract
BackgroundThe significance of nucleotide metabolism and neuroendocrine in cellular immune response and cancer is becoming more well-established. However, the mechanisms underlying nucleotide metabolism and neuroendocrine involvement in stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD) remain unclear.MethodsFirst, a pan-cancer overview of nucleotide metabolism and neuroendocrine-related genes (NMNGs) was explored through the integration of expression profiles, prognostic values, mutation information, methylation levels, and pathway-regulation relationships. We next extensively assessed variations in prognosis and tumor microenvironment (TME) features across the various modification patterns, based on an extensive analysis of the NMNG modification patterns of 808 STAD samples based on 46 NMNGs. Utilizing principal component analysis methodologies, the NMNGscore was developed to measure NMNG alteration patterns of individual tumors.ResultsPan-cancer analysis shows that NMNGs mostly act as risk genes in multiple cancer types, especially in STAD. Based on the NMNGs we detected two different NMNG modification patterns in STAD. Both patterns showed distinct immune cell infiltration features and biological behavior, with NMNGcluster A exhibiting a worse prognosis and a larger amount of immune infiltration. Differentially expressed genes with prognostic relevance were used to classify the STAD samples into three genomic subgroups. Analysis of survival rates revealed that cluster B genes were associated with longer life expectancy than clusters A and C. Individual STAD patients’ NMNG alteration patterns were analyzed by analyzing their NMNGscore signatures. NMNGscore and immune cells showed a statistically significant adverse correlation with each other. Increased longevity, a higher incidence of mutations, and a better response to immunotherapy were associated with patients’ NMNG scores.ConclusionsOur findings provide a personalized prediction tool for prognosis and immunotherapy sensitivity in patients, as well as a promising knowledge of nucleotide metabolism and neuroendocrine in STAD.
